Do you use a Mycorrhizae treatment in coco

I've use mycos in coco, but that's organic. I can't see the benefit of using microbes in a hydroponic grow. What are the fungi and bacteria suppose to use as a food source when organic inputs are not being used.

See, there is indeed a discussion about that.
I don't have the science to answer that, and I don't think anyone does yet, but I could be wrong.
I add amendments to coco that I think are processed by mycos, so I think they are useful to me. Fungus DOES feed on cellulose, and coco qualifies, so the mycos ARE eating.
I continue to use mycos in coco, because of how it solidifies the coco before the roots fill the pot. I like the stiff pots that don't wobble under the weight of heavy plants.

Baseless. You go around in circles instead of actually backing up your claims.

Mycos don't stunt seedlings. Fact. I just googled it. You should too.
I have a Masters in Soil Science that disagrees with you.
I really couldn't care less what you know or do not know.
You really deserve to be a jackleg in the garden.
You can stop stalking me now, freak.

I've been under the impression that myco are the work horse for breaking down ammendments like rock phosphate, azomite and others alike Bacteria are useful for meals and manures.

I mean if you have a Masters in Soil Science surely you could back up your statement with some proof? Any troll on the internet can claim something without proof, right? Exactly what you did.

Stalking you? You mean where you started replying to my comments in the thread? Kick rocks. I'm sure you're crying to the admins right now. Grow up and have an adult conversation.

Not quite so convenient for us. Fungi mostly consume cellulose. But I believe the Mycorrhizae allow for many more species of bacteria to populate the medium. Mycorrhizae have their unique properties.

Coco is comprised primarily of lingum, not cellulose

I use masterblend and bacteria and they trive in it its all cemicals

Mycorrhizae actually has many uses …. Coco is no different. You can start old seeds with myco ( presoak hydrogen peroxide dilute ) drop in rooter or paper towel method with a light myco sprinkle …. Helps kick shit into gear .

So Not just soil , I use ORCA in coco and Hempy runs or use Hydroguard and that has Bacillus innoculants.

Another hype supplement...it's like exercise equipment, everyone has the "latest and greatest" but just do the simple exercises and you get the best result. I just transplanted from solos to hempy buckets with none of that and they didn't even notice a thing.

That's urban myth. put politely. It actually is bass ackwards. mycos serve no purpose in starting seeds, except to attach a hitchhiker to a tiny baby sprout.
