Beneficials to Use Them or Not?

[FuzzyButtCheeks]

I know the genuine benefit from using beneficials when using organics in soil mixes like supersoil.

My question though is if they are a benefit when using other nutes?

I have always been a supersoil user but am ready to take the plunge into soilless using coir and perlite in pots.

My nutes will be from the Home and Garden line such as A+B for coco coir among other H&G products. Since the nutes are already in a ionic state would beneficials be cost effective (assuming I will also be using a root stimulator)?

Yes yes and yes

you can get away w/o using them, but i feel, imo, they give your root system that extra "edge"

i also us H&G coco base and roots excel in veg

i dust my clone roots and transplant holes w/ Great White and also mix it in my feed water once every couple weeks and once again about a week into flower

use b'cuzz coco(it's got some kind of bio-activity goin on right outta the bag)...canna is decent but still only 80% of what b'cuzz is....leave the bennies on the shelf at the hydro store and your cash in your pocket...although I've heard good things about the cap bene packs. but in my experience my roots are always thicker, whiter, more vigorous, and more hairy when i dont use any benificial bacteria/fungi additives (I've used zho, greatwhite, the roots organic one, a few others aswell...nowadays I save my cash and my roots have never looked better)

you can use microbes in salt. I say go for it..

I usually just do a one time dose, never see the need to waste money and buy quicker when the point of these guys is to multiply. I've also see this supported by using pro-mix with organic nutes, and a one time application.. whether it was microbes in the air or what is fully to be proven, but organic nutrients worked with a one time dose of microbes..

do I believe you could grow without them using organics, sure.

never a bad thing.
