I normally make my batches with 50% coco, 30% castings, 10% perlite, then the other 10% are the typical amendments like fish bone meal, blood meal, guanos, kelp meal, alpha alpha, lime, oyster shell, Epson salt, soft rock phosphate, azomite, humic acid and 1000 live worms.
Now Ive noticed the recycled does just as well as the freshly cooked. Anybody else recycle theirs. I just added some more castings and moistened it up.

That's pretty much all I do these dayz: started out with a few bags each of sunshine mix #4 and FFOF ...used non-chlorinated water from my dehumidifier and some organic cal mag the entire grow and recycle the root balls after harvest. I break them up with a shovel & drop into a tub bin to amend the soil for about a month or so with:
fresh worm castings
perlite
soft rock phosphate
blood meal
fish bone meal
kelp meal
azomite
Humic acid
Garden gypsum
Dolomite lime
Greensand
Feather meal
Oyster flour

I don't even measure; just kinda eyeball a handful or 2 of each ingredient & then wet it down with a batch of fresh worm tea to inoculate with active microbes.

Have you tried the live worms? kinda hard to keep em alive if it's too hot out but they reproduce well and help break everything down.

I was amending roots organic for a while but found its cheaper and a better result to usee my own coco, castings and perlite. Plus the JSW has been helpful
 
Lol, thank you sir
I'm mocking you, in case you didn't understand my post. Anyone with half a brain reading through the about us section of their website would immediately close the window. The people behind JSW are charlatans and you were taken by their false claims. I don't see a single picture you've posted that I can't outdo with less than $5 of nutrient/lb of weed produced and simple unfiltered tap water, bad juju and all.

I paid 500 for mine though, dude lowered his price two weeks later.
Ouch. And yet, you're here shilling for them when they bent you over so hard like that.

Hopefully I can't get something out of it. Anot her unit would be ideal, I want to put it right after the valve where the water enters my house.

Have you seen the meet the inventor video? I haven't had a full run with it yet and your not a organic grower so why you here.

I don't need to see it, I'm a mechanical engineer and the claims the website makes are 100% bullshit, no science at all behind it. Water having negative energy, get the fuck outta here. You got taken and now you're trying to sucker others into repeating your mistake.

Throw that shit in the trash and stop shilling.

Whatever that jungle secret thing is you don't need it nor should you hafta pay hundreds to bubble up castings with an airstone to brew up an organic tea. Was like $40 total for my air pump/stone and fish tank heater setup in an 18gal Rubbermaid tub & it works great. I just soak it in RO or distilled water for 24 hrs to keep the stone clean after use.
I know that a vortex machine will keep an organic tea on the brew longer than an airstone can as it turns anaerobic much faster with just an airstone moving it around so I'm not a hater on the bad juju thing whatever it is. I do however beleive you could've saved a few bucks building a DIY vortex out of a water cooler but either way I'm sure you get good active teas with that juju thing considering the price. If I counted up the money I wasted all these years on stupid shit I thought I needed for growing I would probably feel pretty bad about it so don't listen to the haters: if you find something that works for you and you like it fuck em & keep on truckin.
Never purposely added live worms in my mix because I want them to stay in the worm bin and turn my garbage to compost but I usually do throw a few worms that I miss when sifting fresh castings; a few always end up in my recycle soil bin plus maybe a few dead ones. Probably need to add more coco than I have been to the recycled mix but there is already so much coco in the sunshine mix already it seemed counterproductive.

See but you just mentioned RO water. That costs money. I don't need to treat my water anymore and still use occasionally teas. Water has memory and filtering it never changes that. The frequencies imprinted in the ceramic beads combined with the slight magnetism restores the water to its natural state. Id just recommend watching the meet the inventor video before jumping to conclusions.

Lol, everybody is a scientist or engineer on here. Thats a bit more of a long shot than the unit I mention.

How much did this device cost you again?

I hardly need to use RO water in the summer- I'm on the east coast ... city tap water here is not too bad ppm wise (70ppms right out the faucet) but does contain some chloramine according to my annual water test report. I mostly use dehumidifier water but when it's very dry I need to hook up a hose to my RO unit which btw only costed $70. I'm neither a scientist nor an engineer just a weed aficionado with a basic understanding of microbiology.
I know my water is pretty much totally pure after running it through an RO filter...it has like 3ppm when it's done. Don't understand what you mean by water has memory- my tap water seems to forget the chlorine or chloramine when I run it through an RO unit. Whatever the frequency imbedded in your beads I'm not interested in watching videos about any kind of unit that costs money- my DIY organic tea system works fine- I see no reason to buy more stupid shit. Thought y'all wanted to talk about recycled soil but now I'm thinking maybe you are trolling but anyway Good luck happy growing.

i only re-use my soil a few runs and then get rid of it. even after amending it, it seemed to get too compacted--though i have never added coco to it--but it seems to be too much like dirt to get a good grow out of it. i noticed it doesn't drain as well and cannabis does like to dry out in between watering.

I just use 30 gal tote with a water pump and air pump through the airstone for my tea. What's the DIY

Do it yourself...I use same setup as you to brew teas...I'm sorry why did you have to spend $500 on that jungle secret thing?

Actually your soil should improve in subsequent runs if you recycle it. I have recycled it a few times now but I do add a lot of perlite to help with drainage

i've tried it a couple times and have found it always ends up the same...but i'm also getting ready to reuse some soil again, so i'll add a lot more perlite to it this time and see how that goes.

I only use half recycled and the bottom half fresh SS. Just not willing to pay 10 a bag or more when a coco brick makes 3 bags and it's 6 bucks. Plus I have a good spot for perlite and castings over here.
