Can I reuse my coco without using an enzyme? Thinking about reusing my last grows coco to pot up. Will sifting most of the old roots out help?

I know a few multimillion dollar greenhouses who have reused their coco after growing tomatoes and switching to cucumbers.
They did use this product, I'm unsure if it has enzymes though.

The way coco wears out. The fibers degrade to dust.

After a grow and the preparation for the next grow. The dust is rinse off with new coco replacing what was lost.

Feel free to keep using it for as long as you want.

I reuse my coco over and over. I usually run H2O2 through between cycles to kill pathogens.

Awesome I just did a flush on the coco, it’s been sitting dry for about month. And I have it soaking in some calmag, should I grab some h202 and put it in to soak with it as well?

You can rinse with the garden hose. Chlorine and all. Let it dry out enough to plant in it. Then use RO water with the fert.

Keep us updated. The soonest time you'll have to pay extra attention to PH. Is everything you use directly on the plant. Outside that. It honestly doesn't matter. A super plus with coco is how much it keeps a PH range. As in if you don't over do it and make it change.

I'm a serious coco fan.

I’ve used coco my past 2 grows and I am a fan, just never reused it I always used fresh from the bag. But I’ll for sure keep posted maybe starting a journal once I pot up
