Flushing organically amended soil

Marq1340 · Feb 7, 2022

So I plan on recycling the soil from my last run.

Hypothetically speaking, my vegging plants begin to show a sign of nutrient burn in the middle of veg.

What are the alternatives I have here to flushing my soil?

"Cut" it with some coco/peat...

Usually the soil nutrients are reduced over time

By that do you mean I should be fine come transplant time?

Or do you mean ride it out if something like that shows up?

I believe you'll be fine when the time comes

Just be patient and don’t add anything (obviously) just use plain water.

Hypothetically speaking that sounds very weird. Is this a few plants or whole garden? Did you topdress?

It was growing cool and then there was nutes burn?

Organic is different. I think you'll be fine with just water and microbes

A literal hypothetical situation. Thanks for chiming in.

Do you have pictures from the last grow at harvest?

Grow a cover crop, then transplant.

That should help with the nitrogen right?

I know people have been recycling cannabis soil for eons. I was concerned it would be too P-K rich since I just fed it flowering nutes for three months.

I've not had that problem yet, but this is only my second run. So far, so good. I just flipped to flower yesterday.

A cover crop will help with nitrogen fixing, but I've read it takes a while before it starts to do that.

Don't flush your soil. What soil are you working with here?

About two/three weeks before I harvested.

The base was a mixture of FFOF and roots organics.

Thanks, especially for the watering and amending pointers.

Sweet. We can work with that. I'd add:

Pumice/ lava rock/ or perlite
EWC
An all purpose dry organic nute

This is just the basics. You can get more crazy if you really want, lol.
