I have been on a rotation on the same potting mix to "break" it in with test plants. I usually do this for 6 weeks before I actually start my seeds for the season. This gives me a solid grow media to start with that is balanced and has microbes active in the mix. I only grow my test plants for about 3 weeks, about the 3rd or fourth true leaf then pull the plant leaving about 75% of the root mass intact. I then put a new seed in the mix that has the root popped already ( started 2-4 days prior). And repeat the process. I do not fertilize but I do water with a "tea" that I have been working on that is organic and works well with stimulating plant growth.
