Hello hello.*

Well I was bored stoned and just thinking about mycos lol.* and fungi, bacterias ,tricho

For the past few years I've been totally into really researching learning the whole "behind the scenes" (so I call it) of the biological aspect of soil/medium.It's all super interesting stuff and I'd recommend to anyone knowing something about it of course. Well the whole Myco game to me is just amazing. Truly great stuff man. I won't transplant or do a soil/organic run without tons of it. * *My Roots haven't been happier. Obviously this isn't something new or anything like that. I use a whole array of different brands of mycos that I have aquired over the years some bought some samples. Etc etc..Each one could contain slighty different species or same. Whatever.*Anyway lemme get to the point. * Just wanted to really ask any of you. * How much Myco is to much. * *Is it possible to add to much and "Overcrowd" the medium let's say. *It may sound like a silly question. *But again I was bored and felt like Just talking a little lol. * Obviously to much of something good doesn't always end up well either. *But just on a general standpoint. *What are your thoughts on. Mycos. Anyone here love em hate em? *! Any specific type you swear by. As far as fungi,tri,bac. A,I guess I'm just asking for some input. I currently use or have


Myco Madness - humboldt
Cobra- *
Piranha - Advanced Nutrients
** * * * * -Roots organic

And I believe that could be it

Beneficials come in all different forms , species of * fungi. * I'm not gonna try to list em all cause it's just long im sure. * Maybe I'm overthinking this to much cause Im all wired ,blazed, and brain dead at the same time. So pardon me if I'm making no sense at all. *Anyway. Talk to you mates soon. *Thanks for listening :)

Ive been using THRIVE from alphabiosystems.
http://www.usethrive.com/store/FlowerThrive/

Seems to have made a difference in terms of water usage as they say, but I wont know until I pull the plants out of the pots if it had any great effect on root growth. I know what the roots should look like when not using THRIVE so if there was any difference in root development it will show .

Thanks for the heads up. I heard good things about SOS. Def will check it out in really just trying to get my game on point. With as much. Fungi. Bacterias. Myco. All that silly shit as much as I can. I'd rather the soil be super Alive with biologicals. Then pump em with unnecessary stuff. Since ive been doing it. I've been getting non stop White fuzzy roots. And look super healthy. Nothing better than seeing super white healthy roots popping out the bottom after a day or 2 after transplanting. And even if some of the tips at the bottom start browning a lil. New roots keep popping out everywhere. Hey man truth is. Happy Roots lead to Happy Bud. That's the bottom line. If really have come to the conclusion that If I truly focus on building a solid root foundation and keep them happy. It leads to a lot less problems and overall plant health is always better. I used to focus more on the above soil. Obviously Its just as important but. A House with a Shitty foundation is going to fall apart sooner than one with a solid foundation Forgive me for my analogy

Anyway. So. As far as the other end like good bacterias and fungi .trichoderma. I believe i read that they def fight for space and that the bac takes over a lot quicker. Ive used some compost Teas for that. And obviously EwC got some goods

to my understanding, if your using a great white, AN P&T, voodoo...any of those good bennies, you can go up to 3 times recommended dose, and see greater results. anything over that is redundant and a waste, I dont see it harmful tho.

I brew "heisenberg" tea using RO + Ancient Forest ECW + MycoGrow soluble + Botanicare ZHO + Blackstrap Molasses. Brew for 48 hours before adding to res.

How is the Zho. U like it?

I try to brew the water first. Otherwise. Ya foams up like crazy

I was doing fine without ZHO but i have started to add it (1 tsp per 2 gallons) at the end of the brew, like an hour before the tea is done brewing. Then I dump the tea into the res through the netpots. For me to really know how ZHO is doing I would need to do a controlled test. I can't tell if the my grow is more attributable to a single product rather than the combination of nute+tea. The tea foams up like crazy when brewing, so to me that is the norm and I think it is nothing more than bioactivity.

i use great white and really like it, i used humboldt aswell , but i think the plants like the great white more :)

now for your question, ive heard that you can never use to much myco, but WHY would you use a insane amount??? i would stick with what the directions say, maybe double if your feeling crazy :)

haha


have fun and happy growing!

AdriftLol. Not an insane amount. It was more like a scientific aspect. As far as crowding the herd :)

Nrg. Yeah I understand that. Pretty much wat I just thought. Yesterday when a few percd up after a tea feeding. Dunno if it was just the carb that did it migh of been lacking on the food end. Or if it was the myco that actually did it. Not that it matters. But it's always good to know. How they react to specific things this way future reference can be easy to pin point issues Like you said only way is a side by side

I add mycos to tea right before application.

I've been told that brewing them overnight can effectively "drown" some of them.

Anybody know if this is true?

RTI Mykos is the shit, it is pure endo-mycorrhizae spores, minus any of the other "filler" that other myco brands cut their shit w/ such as kelp, humics, and ecto-mycorrhizae.. It is way bomber than BS like plant success, great white, pirrana, myco madness, etc. and is a fraction of the cost per pound!

Hallo. I'm from europe, don't know your brands names. My advice is find someone who produces them in the area, go find him and buy directly if you can. Most important thing about mycos is their freshness. They have a short shelf life and need to be fresh to act at best.
Mycos take almost 5 weeks to become effective. They need to come out of the spores, infect the root, make a symbiosis with it, grow their hairs outside roots (2-3 weeks are needed for this) and then spread in the medium outside in search of nutrients to be delivered to roots in exchange of sugars from leaves' photosyntesis.

The third picture is not exactly from the same subject, but helps to give the idea.

So basically you need them at the time of mixing soil before planting.
After 4 wks you can refresh with some new, but once a root is infected, mycos grow along with the roots.
They're TRULY helpful...
Between endo and ecto I would choose endo (ectomycos are for shrubs and wooden plants mainly).
I use a mix of different fungi and bacterias (pseudomonas, bacillus subtilis, and others) all premixed with an inert medium. They're cheap and fresh, I can find them in a normal gardening shop. (6 euros half kilo)
I mix it with soil at the beginning.
Mycos act together with bacterias and roots making a rhizosphera (the living world around a root) having the most natural uptake of nutrients you can find.
I use this mix also as a base recipe to be brewed into act with some molasses and ewc. This is not exactly to brew some mycos ( I think that mycos grow slower than bacterias in the act), but to add new life to soil.
Some producers sell also soluble mycos that can be added directly to soil, but they're expensive.
Some brands are really attractive in labels and bottles, but no ones has usually an expiry date. (think also that they're best kept in fridge....)
Hope this helped.
Go organic, you won't come back....:dance013:

I can say since I stumbled upon mycos and bacterias a few yrs ago, Iv never looked back. I wont grow a plant without the stuff. Iv been lucky enough to get some of the big name super expensive bennis housed to me to try out, and I can say that this stuff really makes a difference. I know alot of ppl wont agree, but IMHO the expensive inoculants are worth it. (voodoo, liquid P&T, great white)

Biatch I know just what you mean...a day or 2 after transplant the roots are FIGHTING to get out. Im gonna try to upload a pic of one of my latest root masses, nicest roots Iv ever had. plant went from a 5 inch rooted clone in a rapid rooter to a 1.5 ft ft bush in like 11 days, being fed nothing but tons of good beneficial microbes and good soil. (roots organics) filled a 6 inch pot thru and thru with roots in 10-11 days, and I mean FILLED...the roots where everywhere, from 1/4 inch deep from the surface, all the way down and around and everywhere.

Iv had the best results since Iv been using all the good stuff with the smart pots. the air pruning pots in combo with the fungi and bacteria...youll never see happier roots.

Great pics and info. First time I've seen this. So great post.


Tic- 100% true. Dude with smart pots also. I get super explosive root growth. Never seen anything like it! Truly amazing
