Well, last week I put in an order which super sized some GE and Trans,,, but yeah. Bulk from now in.
Since I'm here got a question for you all... What is the process after you harvest to get the soil ready for a second run. And again, after a second run, what are you doing to get it ready for a third run??
Adding anything? Letting it sit a month?
Thanks folks!!

Interesting, Gray.
My unamended "round two" soil just about killed my current crop. All plants were stunted, dry and twisted. After the soil was amended and cooked, they took off just like you'd expect.
My understanding is, after your first grow with kit soil you amend exactly the same way as the first run, but with the added root ball and using less EWC. On the third run, it is different amendment, but the kit soil does get amended each time for the first three grows.
Yeah, I didn't use any EWC on my second run, heck, I no tilled two and didn't add anything. Think it's showing,, going to pick up some ewc today and top dress a bit.... Ooops.
Thank you all!!

Recycling Soil
After the first crop is harvested, put the soil, including the roots, mixed with fresh EWC, perhaps 20 lbs worth along with another bag of amendment back into the barrel and cook it for another month, then use as always.
After the second crop is harvested, take that soil, and add the 3rd Run Amendment to this soil, along with some leaf scraps from recently harvested healthy plants and a light sprinkling of Roots! on the leaves. Let this cook for a month and then use as always.
After the 3rd crop has been harvested from the soil, add fresh, unused Promix along with leaves and a light dusting of roots and re-cook.
I personally do not use soil after the 4th run. Others do so with good success and I suggest seeking them out and seeing if their methods work in your garden. I get my best results with the 3rd run of soil.
On a cautionary note, a year or so ago Doc said that we don't add any amendment on the second cook. I had been amending each time, too. We recharge during bloom, but no amendment for the first recook.
We'll have to wait for him to clarify, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't need more amendment until the 3rd round. Also, I recycle the entire plant except for stems, so I wonder how much more humus we really need. Over time, we may not need or want as much EWC in the mix.
In my experience, a recook isn't really necessary. I've often dumped an old rootball into a partially filled bin, mixed it up well, and immediately used the soil for a new pot - lots of lively biota in that old soil.
This is a quote from Doc's latest instructions:
