Haha, I use a swipe keyboard on my phone, it has me looking like a dumbass once in a while. The name Midi does sound like a hippy that hasn't been around civilization for a couple decades though.

If you drink way too much shitty beer while you harvest can affect bud quality.

I really don’t know what the most brosciency thing I’ve heard is here at RIU, but I’m going to go ahead and say that you guys are all morons if you aren’t sneezing directly on your preflowers. There is conclusive evidence to support a 254% increase in flower mass and density when introduced to a human sneeze. The cilia in our bronchi secrete polycannabin, a precursor enzyme to creating the most best flowers possible. It’s like, all of you are 5 years behind.

Seriously...
Most recently. Some one stated THC degrades to CBD... lol
And Me... I stated slugs won't cross copper wire. I was proven wrong.
In reality it's all "bro science" to some degree. Shit, life in general is filled with it...
Human nature makes one think they are right, when likely they are not.
Everything should be taken with a "grain of salt"

Incorrect!
There are endo and ecto Mycorrhizae (Type of fungus). One grows on the roots, the other in media around the roots. Both do hatch and multiply in tea brewing....
Where these idea's come from?????

Endo is the only kind relevant to cannabis and it requires living roots to grow. Ecto needs to be grown on pure lab culture. Neither will multiply in a compost tea, the conditions for growth are not present.

Great response.
Feel free to cite anything that says mycorrhizae can grow in a compost tea....i’ll Wait...

I didn't respond with helpful knowledge, because you come across as already having all the answers.
You don't, big time....
Lets see here... In reality when brewing any Actively Aerated tea. The first half of the brewing process will be actively starting fungal spores and growing into early hyphae. This in turn allows the bacteria to then rapidly grow on the end hyphae and they overtake the fungal's and dominate the tea to being a bacterial AACT.
The real trick to using an AACT as a fungal inoculation, is as simple as using the tea at early stages. Like from 12 -18 hrs of brew time. Some other brewers I know will go as far as 24 hrs but, from my experience. The shorter times will deliver more viable living hyphae to the soil.
Worm castings, Composted cow manure both deliver viable Myco spores. You can also make your own by inoculating wood chips. Pile them about half a foot deep and cover with some cow manure. Now t let that sit a cpl of years and you have a wide rang of fungal's, including many strains of Myco's to use on soil building or for use in brewing a short run fungal tea.
Yes, there is strains that only grow on the roots. They can, and do hatch in soils and make their way by hyphae to the roots. Now since these things come from nature, and are present in good healthy soils......Just how would a plant get them to their roots if they can "Only come from growing on the root?) The spore is distributed by hyphae being around the root and into surrounding soil for the fungal strain to do it's work....
Simply READ #5: in the link you supplied to begin to wrap your head around what I said...
It only needs to be applied directly to roots - IF your soil does not contain the spores or Hyphae fragments in it.
I have been doing this decades longer then the guy who wrote that internet gem.
I went to school for Ag....I run an organic farm co-op. We use various teas from a 900g Vortex on fields every year....I actually get out the microscope and do our own bacterial or fungal counts on our AACT's that we brew.

I am well aware of how to brew a fungal compost tea, I have my own microscope as well, all soil fungus is not mycorrhizal.
I'm not arguing that fungi wont grow in a compost tea, my original point was that adding mycorrhizal inoculants (i.e. products like great white, mykos, etc.) directly to a tea is a waste and will not multiply in a brew. The fact you mention a short brewing time further proves my point. The cultivation methods used for producing mycorrhizal inoculants are entirely different than making AACT.
