I am a big fan of using fresh cups; if available. Not that I haven't cleaned them out in the past; I just think a new sprout deserves a good clean (almost sterile) cup; so it can develop it's own set of fresh microbes, spawned from scratch.

I also take care to use fresh choir for new starts (or clones) also. Although I do occasionally re-use soils for up potting, especially if they've recooked sufficiently. If working with freshly composted dirt; same thing; especially if any phosphate was added into substrates later during the flowering cycle. I don't think phosphate leaches out all that well, and it's surely not a veg nutrient.

Excess phosphates and pathogens kind of go together with one another; and are things I try to avoid these days; like the plague. It's always great to get a cleanest freshest healthiest start.

Hey Frankster , I agree with you about the fresh cups ...I always feel much better when I use them ,

My re used cups are scrubbed clean after each use ,and the other issue that bugs me is cost , around here I could pay 5 bucks for 30 , and then there's the notion that I shouldn't re use gallon plastic pots and so on .....

And of course we gotta factor in the labor it takes to drill clean holes for drainage ...I'm lazy

I would end up building a city on the amount of plastic I go thru if I didn't recycle em
I even re use rapid rooters if clones don't take 😜

Are your cups " solo" cuz a buck twenty five for 20 , damn I'd be on that fast

I gotta have the " square bottom " solo , they're so much more stable than round bottoms , nothing drives me crazier than when a tray of fresh cuts tips over ....

Man this is a lot.. and forgive me if this has been addressed but are you feeding strains differently?
Sorta... Kinda... Not really.
I'll change bloom:grow ratios if a plant is showing me something obvious... But, for the most part, they get the same stuff.

Bud .....where u gettin those classy cups ?
