Maybe too heavy on the nutes? Usually a good flush will wash out the built-up salts in the potted plants. Then, when you plant don't add any nutes till your ladies start showing that they need something.
If the soil got heavy and stayed soggy, add coarse perlite, vermiculite, or sand to lighten it up. At least 1/3. I am pretty sure after 3 uses, the Happy Frog is no longer Happy Frog, but something entirely different. So you can't lose anything by trying to remix it.
Yeah I think maybe it got compacted, but otherwise I'm thinking it just got like calcified or something. I don't know, the whole thing went down in my "Abandoned Journal" which I'm calling the Cannabis Clue Game now lol Since then I've just been using fresh new soil. I know it's wasteful but losing a crop sucks. Any time I've asked someone who to recycle it, they give me some snooty answer about how Fox Farms sucks and I should start with a better base and then leave me hanging on info.
The ash thing... Well so this might seem morbid to some. But I have some cremated remains of some loved ones, and I've never been able to afford a grave site. I wanted to mix up a special potting soil mix with them to grow some Thai Stick, it was their favorite strain. But I always figured it would be too alkaline so I've never tried.
