Mycorrhizal

I was doing some research tonight and came across this site.

Mycorrhizal by Rick Maughs - Monster Plant Mix

Anyone ever use mycorrhizal fungi in their gardens? If so, how did it work?

Anyone? Thoughts on this, experiences? Gimmick? Give me something, lol.

No it is not a gimmick it is true the site that you mention though is a bit expensive for mycorrhizal fungi,you can get it a lot cheaper than that though.
Also worth mentioning is that heavy watering or high levels of nutes will just kill the fungi of again anyway so if you do buy it you'll need to bear this in mind

I know Rick Maughs he grows the trees. I have some pictures of some huge 16' plants he grew. The base of one of his plants is wider than a gallon milk jug. I use his mycorrhizal fungi along with other stuff.

I am not saying that ricks stuff is no good,just that you can get small 75g sachets of this fungi for 2.99 and ricks stuff is a 3 gallon application for 59.99.
There is a huge price difference and a lot of indoor growers will only need small amounts.
You can get 360g of mycorrhizal fungus for 10.99 from other providers which would be plenty for most indoor growers and many outdoor growers.

Plant Size Approximate Number treated by 360g rootgrowplus Cell 125-150 > 1 foot (30cm) 125-150 1-2 feet (30-60cm) 100-130 2-3 feet (60-90cm) 75-100 3-4 feet (90-120cm) 50-75 4-5 feet (120-150cm) 50-75 5-6 feet (150-180cm) 50-75 Rose 40-60
As you can see 360g is enough to treat 50-75 6 foot plants and only costs 10.99

So how exactly do you treat your plants with this fungi? Say I have small cloned cuttings that are rooted in a 16oz soda bottle with the 2" of the top cut off. And, once I treat these plants... how long do the fungi last and stay beneficial? I know natmoon mentioned about the watering and fertilizing, but say under very ideal situations.

medical.use- you know Rick personally? Just curious...if you do show some love for those monsters he grows from me. I don't have $60 to spend on his product, but if I did I would. Seems like he is very involved in the movement and just wants to profit a little from his knowledge...good idea really. I dream every night I could grow like that, lol. And I will, hopefully this coming season.

Yea Rick is a very cool guy thats all about helping others that have face health issues. Sure he makes money but he also gives stuff away and will defend the rights of any medical marijuana patient.

His organic mycorrhizal is mixed 1 TBL per gal. Then pour 1/2 cup on roots of each plant. It really does last a long time. Its recommended to used once in veg then option when buds start forming.

In the pic you can see Rick standing on the right side of the tree.

But when i look at the order page it states:
1 Rick's Monster Plant Mix- All Orders Free Shipping - Order your Mycorrhizal application with complete confidence, you won't be disappointed! You will receive a 3 Gallon application.

If this is wrong and i don't actually get 3 tablespoons for 59.99 then let us know as this is why i say it is expensive
