Great White application, use, and info

Hello all,

Was doing a lot of reading last night and decided to go with Great White's beneficial bacteria and trichoderma powder mix. I don't know much about it, and in doing research saw a couple of things I wanted to clarify or lay to rest. One was an application technique called "dusting" where you sprinkle so to say the powder directly on the roots. I took this with a grain of sand as the logic behind it seemed false. On the label it clearly states to add the 1tsp/2gallons of water. Which I think I will be doing. My main question was how often I should add it. In my reading I found that for the most part if you feed your microbes with molasses they will continue to replicate, and stay alive on their own. Is this just a one time feed? Any comments or suggestions are greatly accepted

Thanks all, +rep for feedback

For the dusting how much would I do, and if I didn't dust and just decided to draw up the recommended dosage w/ water would it be a lose to put it in the soil by liquid feed?

I am not sure about mixing it with water I have always dusted my roots. They say it works better when the powder comes in contact with the roots, but I am not sure. I flip the plant over and sprinkle the roots before transplanting.

Could you give me a rough estimate maybe like 1 tsp of sprinkle just a pinch between your fingers sprinkle? Thanks for everything.

I use great white,zho and plant successes soluble myco's all with excellent results.For a 1 gallon root ball I sprinkle about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp.You cant really under or over do this shit but its pricey so go ez.You dont need much especially if you have never used it.Try a little one one a more on another and see how it works for you.Ive also added it to water with and without nutes which works great as well as adding a little when brewing compost teas with some added for a boost!

We use Great White-- we just mix it with water-- it works great!!
We've never dusted the roots- as we don't plant in such a way that they are exposed-- if using it in hydro- remember- you must have some sort of medium to hold it-- just gravel or hydrotons won't hold the colony....
must have rockwool or cocoa.... and works great in soil!

+rep bro! Thanks. I'm transplanting as we speak going to tip them over and i'll sprinkle around 1/4 just to save on the actual powder see where it takes me, and if i'm feeling frisky i'll add some in a compost tea.

Thanks to all
