Recycled soil test after 1 year

I thought this was interesting and maybe worth sharing.

I've been growing indoors using recycled mix for flowering for about a year. This is the Soil Savvy test result from the initial mix when starting first flower cycle

And this is the test I just got back

During the past year

- I added a little greensand and glacial rock dust after the first plants came down, to try and bump up what looked like low micros.

- I topdressed two 'hungrier' looking plants this year with 1:1 soil mix/EWC plus 1Tbs of biolive or alfalfa during week 3ish of flower.

- Two of my storage totes got a little fishbone meal and feather meal maybe 6 months ago. That's what I just had tested.

I veg in 1g FFHF + a small amount of EWC, maybe 1/4 cup or so.

Otherwise my grows are water only start to finish, and then I add some EWC to the broken up rootballs while they rest. I've got 4 little totes maybe half full each that I rotate through.

I don't push my plants. Short veg period, I don't train them or blast them with light, etc trying to maximize yield. So I get why they might not eat that much. But really it seems like even the little I did feed over the last year was maybe too much, in that the numbers are creeping up instead of down. Most seem to do fine anyway.

Right now I have two at ~30ish days 12/12, in 3g fabric containers of the same mix I just had tested.
