Looking good. Yep enough there to keep you busy for a minute or two

Ordered some mykos, seabird quano, and some maxicrop.

Will be adding my lacto fruit ferment to it as well.

The babies should love this tea

You’re supposed to add Mykos when you transplant. You dip your roots in the granules. Adding them to a tea does nothing.

So in your opinion, when she waters that tea in, the microbes just magically disappear?

I am not saying dusting the roots is wrong, just that saying they are 100% ineffective if mixed up in a tea and applied is a bit far fetched.

the point of mykos is to promote young root growth and at the point you are adding them they are not going to be beneficial for that specific purpose. will they still be in there? sure. But they are not being used to their best effect (or really any since they are specifically for that promoting YOUNG new root growth) is what he is saying. Honestly the best and only tea you need if you have properly balanced ammended soil is EWC tea with a small amount of molasses added to feed the herd.

They form a symbiotic relationship with the roots, there by increasing the nutrients and moisture the roots can access though out the life cycle. I have not seen any evidence that they play any roll in root growth other then the added nutrient uptake. So while they are a benefit to young plants, this benefit does not lessen with the plants age.

That being said, you do what works for you and enjoy harvest time my friend!

mycos form symbiotic relationship with a plants roots, they break down nutrients into a form much easier for plants to absorb, and the plant roots form an exudate that the mykos eat..it is a good idea to dust the roots of small plants, but it never hurts to add a little to maintain the population. i don't think it would make much difference whether you scratch a little into the soil before watering, or add it to the water (or tea)

so...what was the bottom line? how much did all of that end up yielding?

I have not seen any evidence that they play any roll in root growth other then the added nutrient uptake.

Are they directly responsible for root growth? No. Are they part of a system that allows roots to grow at a much faster rate? Yes. With that said, Mycorrhizae is applied once when transplanting. The roots have to literally touch it, but the granules have to be dry for it to be most effective.

they spread through the soil help break down nutrients to a soluable form and uptake nutrients made by microbes and whilst your root system will only use 20 percent of space available mycorrhizal filaments can increase that to over 90 percent so there's the evidence right there.

Nice thread and skills.. am like it a lot..

know to recognize grower that made proper their "homework"..

Thanx also for rep and for sharing your experience there in other thread,means a lot as i am newbie
here at forum but not newbie if we talk growing...


Kind regards GangaGurl420

Thanks.. and to answer the question on yield the average was 5 pounds a plant.

Also p.s.
Yes there is mykos in my tea.. but there was a ton added into the soil as well.

So even tho I'm not growing this yr...(and yes a lot of weeding needs to be done to my boxes before next grow)
A single seed got pollinated by one of the sativas I grew.
Now I didnt notice it til a month ago or so. I have not watered it or fed it. The only thing I did was add support and take off the lower branches.
Kinda just want to see how it does without messing with it. It is healthy as could be and in full flower. Will probably have a decent cola at the top.
Its around 9 to 10 feet tall.

Take care of pearling water drops like that. they form lenses and make mini burn marks.

This is a myth as has been pointed out. I believe the real reason is that whatever is in the water is left on the leaf if the water evaporates quicker than it's absorbed then the purity of what's left cause the burn. Other wise the planet would go to hell every rainfall.


Cool thread by the way.

Thanks

Got through the thread. Just awesome. Must read for anybody thinking soil.

Rite... especially looking at that one random one growing in the box. I mean literally I've not given it one drop of water nor have I given it any nutes or teas...and it is showing zero signs of deficiency.
I hope you keep an eye out for my next grow journal. Changing things up a bit and the next plants should be the biggest and best producers I've done.
Thanks again for reading

Also for anyone still reading.... this next season I will have some greenpoint seeds strains outdoors. Already grew some and took clones.

This is one of them that I'm most excited about
The jelly pie. Took this pic a couple of hours ago...one frosty lady for only being 4 weeks in flower in my tent.

Hey thanks! I'm pretty excited myself.
I will actually be doing some monstercropping this yr, along with lst and fimming. These should be some heavy producing huge monsters since I will be getting almost a 2 month earlier start then most yrs.
