Using Old Soil - Problems? +REP

[upinvapor]

Hi all, I am about to start my first grow and have a couple questions. I bought a lot of gear 3 years ago and never got around to using it. I have a bag of FF Ocean Forest soil that has been in my garage unopened for 3 years along with a bag of perlite and some FF grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom. There are a couple other bags of miracle grow stuff and others but I would be using the FF stuff and perlite for this grow. Reason I ask is for bug prevention and possible problems since the soil has been in the bag for so long. Is that a problem? Also, will the nutes be ok too? I know it may be a dumb question but I don't want to start off wrong. Thanks in advance.

Hello
everything should be fine.What I would do just to be safe is mix some neem oil and add it first to the soil just to be safe. Do this a few times. no neeed to flush b4 planting, unless you want to.Your miracle grow stuff might be harden up a bit, just try and chush it up abd it will be fine
