anyone ever do this?

lookin to add beneficial mycorrhizae AFTER THE FACT
i could care less about the dehydrated manures and guanos contained within

if you use it, feel free to chime in
if not, ill consider your expertice, but this stuff is unique
as far as dry fertilizer is concerned.

im using the high phos. bulb food
with added mycorrhizzae (which feeds the soil)
and humic acid (which feeds the mycos)



if anybody's made a tea with it, or includes it in their brew,
please give a shout as to how it worked out for you, and what you added to it.

i do understand that (if it does work) it would have to be fed habitually

would adding some mollasses to the brew help activate the microherd?

this stuff is pelletized so what water temp would yall suggest usin to
A. keep within the window of not killin off the beneficial microorganisms
B. melt down the pellets for a quicker action
im going to be trying it i just want a heads up if possible from anyone experienced...
Are you experienced?
tell me,have ya ever been experienced?!

should i pulverize into dust?
i think i should, but not too sure on the dynamics of this stuff

nute experts and bionerds- HELP!

danks in advance

I haven't used it, but I would keep the water temp around 80 degrees and you'll have to consider the NPK of the ferts or risk loosing your plants....I'm not sure what the NPK content is, but keep an eye on it....Be sure to bubble the water for an hr or so to evaporate the chlorine before adding the POM....Otherwise, you'll kill the little babies....Hope this helps....LC

Hello,

Yes, add molasses.

I would add an air stone and keep the mix warm.

Also, I would add about 1 tbsn per gallon of wheat flour or some other non bleached grain for the fungi in the mix.

Kelp and guano's are good in the mix too.

If you are providing the right environment and food requirements for the microkiddies-they will gladly reproduce for you in great numbers.

PS: compost has a great deal of microkiddies.

i think the bulb npk is 3-8-8 is that right? Its worth a shot...if you want a mycorr inoculant their are other products that would work better. EN/EA is a liquid two part mycorrhizae innoculant that you can water in. If you are trying to just get by with what you have, this should be just fine. The nutrients will be a nice burst anyway. Isn't there two consistencies within the mix...I know the tomato formula has pellets and powder. You could always email foxfarm and ask them their opinion..I've done it lots of times, they are very helpful

LC is right on about the chlorine and the fact that this could burn babies...if they are babies I would find another way to innoculate.

THANKS

payphone+FF support sounds like the best idea too - yep too broke to grab ea/en hehe thats what i was thinkin while typin that post

thx for the great replies

minds i: mycorrhizae are not grain loverstry the shroomery lol thx tho i understand yer thinking, but the humic + molasses would be plenty of food.

.woops

yessir its a 3-8-8 (non-burning btw-IME at least)
and it does have some texture as in theres not just pellets

awesome replies from everyone, again, thk u all

let me just also state that its non-burning in inert soiless mix
caveat emptor-may cause problems if used in an already complete supersoil

its possible.
had to add that.

ive been putting AN's piranha in my teas, up untill the 2nd week of flower. its a powder. does it work? alongside all the other tons of little things i do, together my yeild has increased and my bud quality too!

thats very different than what i am using
mine is a pelletized fertilizer
yours is a straight innoculant
if i had the money i would be using that and tarantula
or the ea/en and mycrop

piranha is supposed to be the bomb
they say to use it in combo with their tarantula
one is the mycorrhizael innoculant (root fungus)
the other is beneficial bacterium (soil microbes)
in combination your plant will be able to absorb more nutes
something like 10 times the amount of nutrients,
and be resistant to most anything you throw at it

use as per the directions on the label, you cant go wrong

Despite the popularity of liquid born nutes and critters I prefer to apply it directly in solid form in my soil mix, most organic soils already have some Michorrizae in them but boosting has proven itself to me anyhow.

MINDS I had a good point about the whole wheat flower, microorganisms need a source of protein to really get the most out of your microbial teas.
Molasses is also essential as is kelp meal or liquid seaweed for vitamins and hormones.

I think the potential of mike is somewhat overstated though as even if the roots aided by the fungus can make 10X as much nutes availble the plant doesn't necessarily need it.
