if its just leftover soil from a bag, then yes you can use it as is. but if its from old grow, then as romulanman said, you will need to reinvigorate your soil again

You need to put nutes back into the soil by mixing in dry amendments or using liquid nutes. The dirt you have prob doesn't have much left if any.

You just need to provide your plants with access to nutrients, how you do so is up to you. Lots of people reuse soil and utilize dry amendment top dressing to feed the plants. Just follow the feeding schedule on Terp Tea's product line or whatever you choose to go with. You will probably need at least one product for veg and another for flowering.

You could also do liquid nutrients. I know a lot less about that.
 
This is my go-to for amending both new and old soil. It's magical. With old, I also add more perlite, 1/3rd by volume. I don't tolerate compacted medium.
