With the inoculant's folks have their favorites. I think that they all work and it's a good idea to use a few or alternate etc. Right now i use Tainio bacteria/myco and apply it with Regenerate from AEA. Ive used Recharge, Suma Grow, Roots bio war, Photosynthesis plus, Soil balance pro, sea green, Tainio PSB, Mammoth and others. If your soil biology is lame any of these products will give a strong reaction, provided your substrate is suitable. But, if your biology is kicking, you might not see much response. I tested my biology and it was rocking so latest grows I'm hitting soil with light doses of Tainio and regenerate about every month. I am totally soaking the root ball in a concentrated solution when i pot up.
Check out some of J
ohn Kempf's webinars to learn more about the importance of soil biology. The cover crop is an excellent way to get things going. Plants themselves make soil healthy. If it only gets down to 30F there you'll be able to keep something going the whole time. Very exciting. It drops to 0 here so my cover crops freeze off in early winter. Still the effect on my resting soil for next spring is a plus. When you've just grown a healthy cover crop using substrate that you are going to use for cannabis you have the benefit/peace of mind of knowing that you are planting into a living healthy environment.
