Mycorrhizal Fungi

My preferred source of Mychorrizal fungi is Piranha. I use pretty much all Advanced Nutrients for everything else so that's part of the reason, but mostly I just feel it's the best.

There's a lot of different species of mychorrizae so you not only want to make sure you're getting the right kinds (not all colonize all kinds of plants) but you also want to get as many of the kinds that work with your plants as possible since they each play slightly different roles.

Perhaps more importantly though, you want to make sure the mychorrizal fungi you get are still alive. Fungi are hardy little things, but there's still lots of ways for them to get killed so you need to be sure of the quality you're paying for. That's the main reasons I go with Piranha. I know it's got eight species of trichoderma and 18 species of endomycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal fungi of the right species for my plants and I know that what I'm giving them is still alive and not just the powdery carcasses of dead fungal spores.

Guardian MY, SubCulture M, or just spend $8 bucks at lowes for a bag of Espoma Bio-Tone. Along with the fungi it includes a lot of bacteria like bacillus also.

My blueberry clone took of in the soil i mixed with biotone. I let it sit for a week with an airstone at the bottom of bucket, a week later the top of the medium is covered in white fuzzy fungi, beautiful! I also mixed a lot of other stuff in there but the biotone is definitely making a difference.
 
Great white all the way. I used this stuff on my 100 percent organic god bud grow and I hardly ever fertilize, the plants have the largest leaves I've ever seen. Great stuff.

I use the stuff that grow the biggest vegetables on earth. Its working really well if only I could use it in my hydrosystem. Check out this quote from a world record grower:

"RTI's pumpkin pro is the mycorrhizae used to produce the worlds largest pumpkin three-years in a row. (2006 1502 pounds Ron Wallace, 2007 Joe Jutras 1689 and 2008 Steve Connolly 1568 pounds.) Every leaf node from beginning to end was trenched, treated and buried using Pumpkin Pro. The big difference we noticed is that later in the season the pumpkins were able to maintain a "top" weight for a longer period of time and also our pumpkins grew into the month of October. Something that has never seemed possible before in our area."
