Soi was thinking as I was transplanting some girls last night what if I mixed some rooting powder in with the coco and perlite. Would it allow the roots to gow faster into the new media? I think next batch of seedlings I transplant I will powder half and see which ones fill out the new pots faster and fuller. Has anyone tried this before? Am I on to something or wasting rooting powder(not that I use it much I use clonex)?
 
interesting idea... i have been thinking about using beneficial microryzae to boost nutrient uptake and to prevent transplant shock...
 
I have been using microryzae fungus with a heat tape and the roots just take off. It deffinitely makes a difference
 
I have seen the title a few times at the top of the page and for some strange reason when I seen it tonight I thought it said Had indica last night....
 
I use Oregonism XL by Roots Organics, which has several strains of beneficial bacteria and fungus. Most different companies have there own brand. Also, I just switched to a soil with mycroryzae included. It is organic and a half the price of the Roots Organics I was using. The name is Espoma Organic, $11.99, just as good or better, but I must say a heat tape under germinating seeds and seedlings greatly improves germ grates and growth rates. Stay medicated my brothers and sisters

I don't like to use names, however 'Smithfield' and 'Glocester' are the only two shops I've ever used. Never saw any beneficials in Smithfield but I will ask next time I go. I've seen Glocester has a whole little shelf of them, however each time I've gone there and tried to ask simple questions - I was treated like a leper... so I don't go there anymore.

Smithfield is great for selection and prices but Rt. 44 is like the new Rt. 2 - rock in a hard place if your from Northern RI.
 
Smithfield is a stones throw from chepatchet on 44 and great customer service. I've never seen the other one open. I work right next to the one in Warwick and have never been in there I'd rather wait to go to Smithfield unless a complete emergency.
 
mother nature on post rd in warwick is where i purchase oregonism xl, they also carry great white, another bene bac plus. i recieved a free sample of a new innocculent i have not tried yet.
 
I use a "root enhancer" called "white widow" its expensive but in the long run very well worth it. I place some powder in my rooting water with my clones and its the bomb. ALSO- I sprinkle a small pinch of powder on the soil around the base of transplants AND young seedlings early to get that root system strong and kickin'.
 
Growers Edge in East Providence has everything, Great prices too. The owner is a real nice guy and very helpful.
