I also use Piranha and Tarantula by AN.
I am curious about other similar products if anyone has an opinion.

i just ordered some botanicare coco and will be mixing in some of this http://www.planthealthcare.com/UserFiles/File/Media%20Mix.pdf along with some molasses. it's $17 per lb. it has the beneficial bacteria in it also
i also use great white in coco, i like it because its a mix of bacteria and fungi all in one,
you can apply it once or twice during your entire and aslong as you use molasses and maybe some liquid karma (kelp), it will feed the benes and keep em alive so no further innoculation is needed,,,
but make sure to keep the coco wet because if it drys out all the beneficials die off, and make sure to use R.O. water cuz in the 510 (like i am) has tons of chloromine that doesnt evaporate after bubbling,, so if you dont have a GOOD r.o. then i wouldnt bother even using it... IME

As for mycorrhizae, its very little useful when growing in containers. (Very useful outdoor directly in ground).
Its main advantage is increase avalaibility of Phosphorous. Growing indoors on containers, there is no any reason your plants experiences any shortage on P supply.
Tricothermas, on the other hand, are of great value on coco. They are self sustaining, so a single adition to seedlings/just rooted clones is enough (when they are not in the coco you buy). Protect plants roots against many infections.
BTW, I dont understand why AN use both together in Piranha when they are not compatible. In general, tricotherma with kill mycorrhizae. Maybe people dont notice it (anyway, micos are little useful indoor), but pay more because the product has more things in it, I dont know.
About beneficials, they are good, but not magic. Use whatever are self sustainable on the media, as its cheap and naturally balanced. About this, often more not equals to better. If you not grow organically, there is no reason to use them, on the other hand.

Great White by Plant Success is the shiznit. It's also what H&G recommends since their Mycrorhizae (bacto force) cant be shipped to the US yet. The Great White has like 42 different kinds micro compared to 1-2 by most other products.

I've had good results with mycorrhizae and coco for mothers. The plants were very strong and very resistant to PH and EC extremes. I fed the mother in the thread for around a year without really measuring feed, the times I did I found either the EC or PH was very high, but it didn't really show in the plant. I flushed it back within range very rarely.

No, which is the strange thing. Fed a mix of mainly Advanced Sensi Grow and Canna A&B. Didn't seem too affect the colonization of the root mass too much, as it seemed to fruit very well and from all areas of the pot at one point.
