Howdy. I'm currently planning my next grow, and I'm wondering about re-using soil. Right now, I am growing in 5g buckets in a mix of 1/3 Scott's potting soil, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 mushroom compost. I've been using Earth Juice Bloom, Hygrozyme, and molasses during flower.

For the next round, I am going to downsize to 3g containers. I wonder if I can re-use some of this soil mix? I know it would be sapped of nutes after the grow and flush, but that's why we add fertilizers, right?

I'm thinking of mixing up another small batch of the same stuff and filling each pot with half new, and half used. I plan to stick to the same nutes for feeding.

Thoughts and opinions on reusing soil, please. (But please, don't dog on my Scott's soil. Yeah, yeah, there's better stuff, I know, but I'm quite pleased with my results with this mixture.)

Thanks, ya'll.
