If you look at places historically where cannabis grows naturally (Yunnan China, Nepal), you see it growing more on those grasslands, open areas....
Yeah but grassland is not equal grassland.
This summer, I took a soil sample of a mountain meadow that was growing grass almost exclusively, on a steep slope of very limey bedrock. It was like sand in consistency, if a tad "sticky". I was surprised to see it had more fungal mass than pretty much any other soil I've looked at to date (except forest soils).
Actually that reminded me about the thing with the U.S. "dustbin" too, those prairies were fungal-heavy too, originally...
I once watched a few of those strain hunter vids, trying to remember what other vegetation was growing alongside the cannabis in the more remote spots... I think that could give us more clues as to fungal presence (in absence of a representative soil sample haha)
Personally, I've been thinking to just give the plants everything, they can then select which organisms they actually need from that abundance? Not worried about getting too many fungi, I find that building those populations is not so easy
But it
would be nice to know something more definitive!
Anyone got a notill that's been going for a while and willing to take a sample?
