is it ok to use mycorrhizal fungi on my clones

ezy

ok I take it no body uses this fungi,interesting because over 90% of all plant life relies on this fungi as it forms a simbiotic relationship with most wild plant life to gather as mutch nutes out of the soil and then passes it on to the plant, Ive given it too a 2 week old cutting also too a 2 week old seedling that came from a bag of cheese, Ive applied it to the soil yesterday,it has to be put directly on the roots so I mite have to reapply wen I repot them in case I dident apply it properly this time, I'll keep you informed on how the grow goes, (thats if anybody is interested), lets see what happens

you didn't give much time for people to respond buddy. apparently you know enough about it, so what's the question exactly?

yes, it helps a lot with the uptake of nutrients, especially phosphorous, which is the most important between week 2 and 5 - 6 of flowering, which of course varies per plant.

the fungi attach to the roots and feed off of the carbs of the plant itself and essentially become tiny little hair roots which fill in most of the "blank spots" in the medium in your pot. increasing root zone by 70 to 100% without increasing pot size.

what else are you trying to figure out? this is no revolution to growing, just another link to what we indoor growers miss that occurs naturally outdoors.

happy growing

I use them indoors in soil. Haven't done a side by side without, but I use it on nearly all my vegetable garden plants so its just a mindless part of the transplant process for me.

Id rather brew fungi teas than have some "powdered" form.

mattdreads

the difference being?

oh yeah...haha, yes, I put 1 tsp (5mL) per plant in the pots right before I transplant clones into soil/cocos

Dr.Budz

Well, price for one.

Range of fungi is another. There are plenty of types. You cant get them all from the same product.

No need to mix ahead of time, you just water...

mattdreads

price is a good one mate.

the rest, well, buy better product. lol

happy growing

Dr.Budz

If you know of a product that creats 100's of strands of fungi....Please inform us. i shouldnt even say 100's Thats probably a low estimate. My point is, different fungi grow and form on different organic coumpounds.

Worms bring bacteria to soil that are only present when worms are their. You cant buy these bacteria in a bottle.

Spending 40 plus dollars on hardly anything doesnt apeal to me.

if you're trying to ask me to show you a product that will let you grow indoors just as if it was in outdoor ground, you're right, there's nothing.

but there are the most importants, and bio-shark has done a great job with their mycor mix.

I spend money on what will give me results that will 'pay for itself'

it increases the yeild greatly, and if you buy ganja vs. growing it yourself, just in the amount of extra smoke you creat it'll pay for itself in one plant.
