Cleaning Used Fabric Pots
What is the best way to clean a fabric pot to reuse? I want to reuse a 5 gallon fabric pot from a plant I just harvested. So far, I’ve just left it soaking in a bucket outside after dunking it and wringing it out a few times. I am sure you don’t want to use soap or detergent that’s full of chemicals to clean/wash it out. Does anyone have a good method? Thanks!

@Brian Burton Those are great suggestions, and 1:1 on the vinegar and water is what I've always done. Honestly I just rinse mine with a hose, and bake them in the sun most of the time now unless it has too much buildup. Cleaning them is good practice though. This is what Geopot says to do: https://geopot.com/blogs/geoblog/how-to-clean-and-disinfect-your-geopot-fabric-pots?srsltid=AfmBOop1xpmmUi_EWZsa9D8H5LdK6YkaXisiA-b5QHjcXV8V5oDnR9yp

Welcome to my Skool !!
Thanks for joining! I'll be using this Skool community to provide tons of free education, resources, and support for as many people as I can. That being said, it is a work in progress. So feel free to reach out anytime with questions, suggestions, or any feedback. The goal is to have the "Classroom" as an all-inclusive resource to refer back to whenever you have questions in your grow. The sections are separated according to skill level / how in-depth you want your answers to be, and I'll be slowly building them out over time. If you have something you want answered, reach out to me directly and I'll get you taken care of (and fast track the information being provided in the Classroom section). At the same time, this is also a great way to connect local growers & like-minded individuals. You'd be surprised how many people are doing awesome things here in your own town. Please use it as a space to share ideas, connect with others, and learn! Quick intro poll . . . What's your experience level growing?

@Jack Kilgore That’s awesome! I’ve seen some super cool stuff done with canna bonsai’s, but it’s something I haven’t played around with yet. Would love to see some of your past experiments. Thanks for joining!
General Soil Questions
@Jake Hudecek Thanks for sharing your knowledge in the classes, I’ve learned a lot. I am on the tail end of my first grow, have an auto drying right now and a photoperiod a week away from harvesting and drying. I have two general soil questions. First one is about when I transplant my clones, they are in 1 gallon pots and I am going to move them to 5 gallon pots. They currently are in a mix of 2/3 Happy Frog and 1/3 Ocean Forest. When I transplant them, can I put them into the 5 gallon pots with Royal Golds Tupur? Thy have been in the gallon pots for a little over a month now. Second question is about reusing soil. I have a 15 gallon pot with the same Happy Frog and Ocean Forest mix, the plant that was in that pot didn’t live more than a few weeks out in the summer heat. The pot has just been sitting outside under a tree since the beginning of June. Can I still use all that soil? Can I mix it with some new soil and the used soil from the pots of the auto I just harvested and the photoperiod I am about to harvest? I would hate to see all that soil just go to waste. Thank you for your help!!!

Good questions. And congrats on the grows, that's always super exciting to make it to those first harvests! First off, transplanting into Tupur is completely fine. It's a good soil. Just keep in mind that you'll probably feed and water a bit more than you would in a Happy / Ocean mix. But as long as you feed & water consistently you'll be looking great, no issues. Second, you can totally reuse that soil but there's a couple things to think about. Definitely run some water through it and get some moisture in it before you plant. If it's been sitting outside it can get kinda hydrophobic (repels water) and sometimes it takes a few waterings to get that moisture back consistently. Don't be afraid to dig down a little and check. Also keep in mind if you fed a bunch of liquid fertilizers before the plant died. If you did, it's a good idea to flush some of that soil by running water through it. If you didn't then it's not as big of a deal and you're probably good to go after getting it rehydrated. And for the old soil from the plants you just harvested, it's generally best practice to get new soil and start over. Most people throw their old used soil out into the backyard and make a garden bed, flower patch, etc. Just make sure to run water through it. And if you really want to reuse it, it's possible but I don't recommend it. You can run into issues pretty quickly if there's too much salt buildup, etc. The only exception is if you only used organic fertilizers, dry amendments, etc (bone meal, alfalfa meal, fish powder, bio-live, etc). Those don't build up salts the same way that your liquid fertilizers do and it's better to reuse your soil with those.

@Brian Burton Anytime. You're basically good to go then after you get it wet. Rain water is even better!
