Re-using foxfarm soil?

I have a bunch of foxfarm soil from my previous grow. Is it all good to re use? I was wondering if i should buy a bag of 'marine cuisine' and mix it in or anything?

growing 5 auto's so i'm only going to use nutes during the flowering stage. i assume the nutes in the soil have been totally depleted anyways.

Thanks in advance guys, n happy growing!
 
Touchy subject.... I re-use my soil, but i mix in new stuff every third re-use. I also rinse the crap out of it before taking the soil out of the container.
 
heres what i know about the soil: i got it from a busted grow op in my town. there was a kiddy pool and a LOT of pots full of dirt. and foxfarm bags everywhere. from what I could tell from root structure the plants werent really old yet, and the empty bottles of nutes were all organic nutes, i even took a bottle that was half full.

i used the soil, used cutting edge nutes and didnt use nutes for probably the last month because i ran out. so i'd say the soils been flushed, and has been used twice.

can i ask what you mix in every 3rd use?
 
I also reuse my soil. I add ~25% new soil to each batch that I recycle as well as add some compost, some more perlite. I usually only do this 3-4 times before I toss the batch in my vegetable garden and start over.
 
love the setup pullin weeds, i plan on buildin a similar chamber with cfls.

what would you recommend if i can't get good soil locally? just compost and perlite? and what exactly should i use for compost? dont really have any fruit or anything to use off the top of my head lol
 
I have seen a few grow's go realy wrong through this reason soil is not that expensive buy new mate..tyke
