Several years ago I had multiple well known RIU members laugh their asses off when I claimed microbes were the key to great pot that nobody was using. I’m telling you mocking laughter.

Now look.

And I didn’t think it up. Saw it in Pro Mix in 2011 when I bought my first bale. Started researching. But you couldn’t just buy it. Because it was not a thing yet. So learned to get it from a slurry using molasses, water and dirt from your yard. That really got the laughs.
Yeah we've both seen them come and go.

ive done much reading on the incorporation of mycorrhizae to the root zone, but unfortunately i cant afford great white (which i do want to get eventually). Why i went with the promix with added myco aha. Im going to look into home made mycos/microbes beneficial for roots. I didnt think of that. Thanks for the tip aha.

Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP. I can’t afford GW either. But you can do it free. Or for the cost of a bit of molasses.

Edit add: “Make a liquid formula by mixing in proportions of 1 part garden soil to 20 parts water and 0.5 part molasses. After 24 hours it is ready to use. The liquid should be used within two weeks. You can spray it on your veggies and it will be absorbed through the leaves.”

Don’t foliar feed. Just pour it on.

Your choice in pro-mix will do a good job

My eyes bugged out when I saw the price on Great White. I still bought the jar. I'm still using the same jar. You use very little and it lasts almost forever. So there's that too.

May I suggest 1l air pots? They aren't nearly a liter. The outside diameter may displace a liter, but they are like 20oz.....

You can keep plants in there for 3-4 months before they get so rootbound. Obviously this is strain dependent.

I love watering the 1l airpots, I just make a couple gallons of feed water, and dunk the pots. You can appease the flushers and the non flushers with 50% runoff :D

I think I paid $35 for 12.

Doing some reading, and it seems that GW isnt even the best product (considering you are paying for endo mycos cannabis doesnt even use). I have lots of experience with cubensis and rye grain lol, might just make my own live slurry with the proper isolated benificials.

Good idea. I do have bigger dollar store pots with holes drilled for drainage but i couldnt find them at the time. Might just got with liter air pots.
