Exactly, the natural way things were meant to grow, that's what led me to this method! True organics IMO. i have learned an enormous amount and couldn't be more thankful for people here on 420 for sharing
You popped another seed in while keeping the old plant's roots in the pot?! That seems too easy...
Also Sue, when you say you have 8 amendments you add every week, I'm a little confused (perhaps a little too baked). could you elaborate? I thought all the amendments would be added to the soil at the time of the soil mix and after each harvest, if additional amendments are needed. Would you care to share those 8 amendments you use to keep you soil thriving after a harvest (or whenever you feel the soil is lacking)?
Hopefully these aren't dumb questions. Thanks for help in advance

There is ORGANIC and something else... there is no Kinda organic or "natural" it's either organic or not organic, black and white there's no in between. You use salts for fertilizer that is NOT organic, I don't give a rats ass what anyone tries to tell you or me.
CC mix can be used no-til and results have been consistent in that each successive round our harvest improves. My last round 5-6 generation clones went from 45" tall to well over 7' tall with size of buds keeping pace with size of plant. Amazing really.
To get a grasp on organically grown just take a walk in the forest and really look around, look closely at the worm castings next to old dead logs - that there is black gold and our main active ingredient in our CC mix. You don't need to have a worm bin, you dont even need to purchase worm castings, just go for a walk in the woods/forest with a bucket and a scoop.
This is the time of year to collect worm castings in the woods. The worms are almost done eating and digesting and pooping out last falls leaves. So now you can see all the hard work and collect some for yourself and your gardens. Five minutes and you have a 5 gallon bucket full, enough to make a mix for several large no-til pots. Add in some aeration and CSPM with some minerals, there's your organic soil mix.
Take a look at my journal pics for the last run - I've automated the watering enough to go on vacation 2X this run once for 17 days and other for 7 days (out of country). So out of a 75 day flower cycle we've been away for 24 days with a SUPER harvest of premo buds. I'd stack em up against anything you can purchase at a dispensary 100%. Thats in a grow tent no fancy anything AND the least expensive LED lights I could find!
See the analogy to the forest?? No one is out there feeding the trees or the bushes other than the earth worms!! Symbiotic relationship that we try and emulate in the grow tent. The reasoning for adding minerals is in a forest the fauna/rain water are constantly breaking down rocks into minerals for the soil and microbes to feed the plants and trees. The only difference is the types of microbes in the soil in the forest. They cater to the trees and are more hyphae/mushroom oriented but there's still a lot of bacteria there.
When we do an ACT we are growing bacteria AND hyphae that help feed the plant but live in the soil. Hence the saying; feed the soil not the plant. That means we are feeding the microbes/hyphae in the soil that work in a symbiotic relationship with the plants roots.
When folks start adding in "fertilizer" to "feed" the plant what actually happens is the "fertilizer" kills the microbes and hyphae in the soil that the plant needs and depends on to survive and is replaced with something (mainly salts) the plant can uptake directly. You might as well grow hydro instead of wasting good soil.
Compare hydro grown tomatoes to organically grown tomatoes, WHOLE different result there. Why you don't see as much hydroponic tomatoes in the store this time of year. They cannot compare or compete with organic soil grown tomatoes. Everyone knows this and this is the same with canna there's absolutely no difference in that analogy. Again anyone that says different is absolutely wrong on any/every account.

The ONLY reason for all that fancy bottled nutrients/fertilizer is to get a hold of your hard earned cash, the ONLY reason for that garbage they call "nutrients".
Mark my words here - the company that invented Round-up for corn (Monsanto) will soon be heavily invested in the canna market and be selling you the pest/weed/fertilizer/seed YOU need to have a successful canna crop!! They have already seen the future of what they started with Round-up and have largely gotten out of that market. The next cash crop for Monsanto to control is Cannabis. Vote early vote often and keep it green.

From reports, this seems possible.
The soil food web is fascinating even for an engineer 
I've noticed you can get a good majority of these things off BuildAsoil, so I'll have to make a big order here soon. From what I can tell, they have a bunch of quality products that go right along with feeding the soil instead of feeding your plant. I'd like to eventually build an entire garden using LOS. Once again, thanks so much for your help and I look forward to more learning 
Peace, love and Light
