Lots of helpful info. in here. Thanks all! I'm a new grower and am trying to learn all that I can, quickly. During my research I found this video on mycorrhizae and thought I'd share...
this is brilluiant, lol I didn't no madern marvels made that episode lol, that show is excessiviely helpfulLots of helpful info. in here. Thanks all! I'm a new grower and am trying to learn all that I can, quickly. During my research I found this video on mycorrhizae and thought I'd share...
Your totally right, I'm preparing for my second proper grow, with mostly organics nutes I'll be using my own wormcast around 10l right now increasing each week defo will use myco thinking about great white or humboldt white widow any one tried them ?Thanx for bumping this thread. There must be something wrong with the search function, 'cuz when I use it, I get alot of worthless, unrelated shit. I have been interested in mycorrhizae for a couple of months now, but could find very little here on RIU.
Has anyone ever tried BioTone starter Plus? I have already mixed the soil for this next grow, so it's probably a moot point, but I'm interested in any first hand knowledge opinions as to it's efficacy.
My reason for going with the BioTone over the other product with mycorrhizae only was the fact that it contained the other trace minerals (purportedly organic) as well.
I FINALLY found a local source for bat guano and worm castings!!!! Joy!!! It's kinda funny when you start asking Q's about the organic ferts like guano, worm castings, kelp etc. I'm pretty sure that they know whats up. Not a whole lot of people (veggie growers) who go to this nursery know much about mycorrhizae or guano. Careful how much you let slip. I got a "knowing look" from the sales clerk. But it's all good, I'm pretty sure she smokes too!
Do not use great white. Make sure your mykos product does not contain trichaderma spores. I use xtreme gardening's mykos. It's a straight glomus intraradices.Your totally right, I'm preparing for my second proper grow, with mostly organics nutes I'll be using my own wormcast around 10l right now increasing each week defo will use myco thinking about great white or humboldt white widow any one tried them ?
It can, but it would be expensive worm/microbe food. Better off dusting the roots at transplant.can this be added to vermiculture?
I see the video you posted is made by Pro Mix. It reminded me that they also have a mycorrhizal inoculant called PRO-MIX PUR that I've used in the past, you might want to check out if you're a fan of their products.Lots of helpful info. in here.

Why shoukd you not use trichodermaDo not use great white. Make sure your mykos product does not contain trichaderma spores. I use xtreme gardening's mykos.
It's not that you shouldn't use Trichoderma, but know that the spores are cheap. This is why they are packed in with mycorrhizae, and when applied together it inhibits the mycorrhizal colonization of the root tip.Why shoukd you not use trichoderma
Ok so its good to use .... what are the better brands or ones you have experimented with i was looking at kelp 4 less endo/ecto with innoculants. Have you heard or tried them or q brand you woukd recommend i think like great white and such are over priced since there more of a big name etcIt's not that you shouldn't use Trichoderma, but know that the spores are cheap.

P-
You are absolutely correct, great white is way overpriced. I have used great white (junk), Zho (not bad), Mykos from xtreme gardening which I really like and I am currently using. Nothing fancy, just straight mycorrhiza intraradices.Ok so its good to use .... what are the better brands or ones you have experimented with i was looking at kelp 4 less endo/ecto with innoculants.

The inoculation of maize plants with spores of G. mosseae decreased the populations of the saprophytic fungi Trichoderma koningii and Fusarium solani. However, F. solani had no effect on mycorrhizal development, whereas G. mosseae was inhibited in its extramatrical stage by T. koningii.
Germinated spores of G. mosseae did not affect growth of the saprophytic fungi on water-agar. T. koningii inhibited the germination, but not mycelial development of G. mosseae; this inhibition was independent of the change in pH of the medium. F. solani did not inhibit germination of G. mosseae spores, and endophyte hyphal development was markedly stimulated. The influence of soluble and volatile substances produced by the saprophytic fungi on these effects is discussed.
