Soil too dry to plant in?

OiOi · Jan 2, 2024

Hello, everyone. I’ve had some soil sitting in my pots for months in my tent. And I mean months lol. It’s dry to the bone will it still be good to use? Kinda don’t wanna chuck it as it’s decent soil(Biobizz light mix) it’s also got some dynomyco in it. My guess is maybe the soil won’t be as effect?

Yes its good . So SLOWLYYYY mix in your water . I know I know you put the water in and it goes to the bottom of the pot and runs right out. Just keep doing it until the soil takes the water . Then you can plant your clone seed in.
I have been reusing soil forever . It may sit for years then we throw perlite into it and reuse it .

I do something like this: Put the soil in a plastic storage bin like they sell at hardware stores. Then add some water and stir. Add amendments, like perlite, earthworm castings or whatever you want. Let it sit for a few days, stirring occasionally, and then check for moisture. With a lid on it, it can keep for a long time.

Use a Hudson sprayer. Pump it up so it is high pressure. Slowly add the water. It will be hydrophobic for a while. Going to take a few days to get moisture all the way through it.
