A little FYI:
- Cannabis does not form ectomycorrhyzal associations (the VAST majority of what's in Great White is ecto, because it's much easier to produce)
-Only 100 of those claimed 131,474 viable mycorrhizal fungi are actually species which have been shown to form mycorrhyzal associations with cannabis/hemp. These are the glomus intraradices and glomus mosseae.
-The only real way to benefit from mycorrhiza is to apply the powder DIRECTLY to your roots at first transplant. The spores won't even germinate if they aren't touching root.
So... If you want a little benefit from those 100/131,474 organisms, dust some on your roots next time you transplant.
Check out some mycorrhizal inoculants at a nursery or online if you don't want to get ripped off. Look into one by BioAg called VAM.

Here are the instructions:

If you did not get a "scoop" with it I would guess it is probably 1 TBL.
Simply call the company.
Or wing it, I doubt if you can OD on mycorrhizae.

Forgot that GI also takes 6-8 weeks to colonize, so any application after the first few weeks of veg is relatively pointless

Also true, thanks for adding that. That's why I wrote to dust at the FIRST transplant, so that you have a higher chance of actually seeing some benefit.

Apparently 1 scoop = 1 teaspoon "*Solution: Mix 1 tsp. per 2 gallons of water" taken from a hydro store website, but also looked at my scoop compared to a measuring spoon and think they are the same.

Thx,thats all I wanted.
I got the sample just for wanting to try sprinkling on my clone roots before I put them into dixies and/or a dwc bucket.
Thx for all the 411 peeps!

i use great white powerful stuff, brew it into my compost teas, there is some inert mix to the great white shark mix, but it is by far the the most concentrated spore counts of all of them.
the scoop with the great white shark is 5cc. 1 scoop will suffice for 5 gals of water. the main reason company's often recommend way more than needed is because most people dont take into account that they will need to change their feeding program to accommodate. i started with straw in with the compost tea bag, then i added kelp meal to the mix. now i even include straw into my soil mix.

also note regardless to what people tell you GWS and any other spore inoculate, will germinate in water(does not need to be directly applied to the soil. although some fresh tab would not be ideal). even with microbial competition, such as compost teas, thus its ideal to makes sure your teas are brewed in under 24 hours to ensure microbes do not eat your now germinating fungi and give it something to live on and have a ighting chance.

I hate to be that guy... But I gotta tell you ENDOmycorrhyzal fungi will not germinate and inoculate your plant after a 24 hour brew. That goes against all the science written up by the big names in the field (Ingham, Lowenfels, Lewis, etc). Yes, the bacteria may begin to grow, and possibly some of the ECTOmycorrhyzal fungi will germinate. Things is, ecto do not benefit cannabis, and only a few of those species listed by Great White actually form mycorrhizal associations with cannabis.
