Just this guy, ya know?
So you did things incorrectly then you wondered why things ended up incorrectly? Then you blamed the coco? Alright then.No, none of that. Boil it? That in itself is reason enough not to re-use.
Each to his own and all that but for me it was a real disaster. I thought it was all sorts, light to close, clogged filter, to high airflow... all sorts! Last on my list was the coco itself. Now I'm using fresh the difference is night and day.
All I did when I re-used was sift out all the old roots and run a load of water through it all in the bath. Evidently that failed.
If it works for you then go for it. For me, never again.
