Will rain wash away nutrients from two months ago?

[diabIo]

Two months ago I had a setup for ten autoflowers outdoors in Air-Pots. Something came up and I decided to grow them indoors, but I left the Air-Pots with 2:3 FF Ocean Forest & Happy Frog outdoors. Can I still use this soil, or will all of the nutrients have been washed away?

it will be somewhat depleted but not completely. The nutrients aren't all instantly water soluble and mobile. Mix it 50:50 with a fresh batch, that's what i do with soil i don't feel 100% about

Better be careful 2 months is a lot of time for bugs to take up home in that dirt

I've read somewhere that leaving your soil in heat, before use, will kill bugs throughout the soil - something like leaving it in a black car during a hot day. Is this true?

that's sterilizing...it has to get above 140deg Fahrenheit. and there's different bugs that require different heat for different lengths of time to kill them. between 140-180, don't go higher than that. if it does the soil can literally become toxic to all plants from the heat and chemistry
