So for the last 5 years or so I have been making and recycling my soil grow after grow.
I finally have to admit, I give up and will be going back to bagged soil.
It has gotten to be such a tremendous pain in the ass to be perpetually mixing soil. As time goes on the recycled soil becomes harder and harder to manage.
When it is good it produces excellent bud, but at the same time it produces some real trash. I am basically to the point now where problems cause me to throw away atleast half of my harvest pretty consistently as half of my plants will be great the other half trash.
It is to hard to account for what is left in the soil, what needs to be added back and the potential build up of salts and minerals.
So yeah, I gave it a good run of a staunch organic soil mixer but I have just had enough.
Contrary to popular thought soil mixing still requires, lots of space, a considerable amount of time and it certainly isnt cheap when you factor in shipping on exotic amendments.
