Mycorrhizae and pk booster

Does it make sense to use mycorrhizae with a pk booster like mad farmers mother of all blooms.

As we know literally nothing about your grow, it is hard to say.

I dont think my grow has much to do with the question, i was just wondering. Was looking at both products i have and was just wondering. Is a pk boost like MOAB a bio stimulant or a synthetic and im mostly wondering how much harm could a little bit of synthetics do against a healthy soil food web. Theres plenty of microorganisms in a tablespoon of healthy soil so would so would those kind of numbers really be affected by half a teaspoon of a pk booster

Nothing about my grow

Most people overfeed p/k, I'd skip p/k "boosters" altogether. Here is a nice little write-up that I agree with https://manicbotanix.com/p-phosphorus-and-k-potassium-in-cannabis-production/

Mycorrhizae won't have any effect on a grow using high EC mineral salt nutes, high levels of P tend to suppress activity in the microbiome.

MOAB is a synthetic. It's basically just very expensive monopotassium phosphate and if you're using any decent nutrient you don't need it.

I use both but at different times. Myco at all transplants and veg and pk boost in mid bloom.

If your talking an all in one, I guess it wouldn't hurt but I wouldn't buy it exclusively for that reason.

Thanks for the read. Gonna be sitting down for the next 2 days so I'll definitely read it in a little bit.

I thought it might be synthetic, thanks for your response. I feel funny even looking at it honestly but i did it anyways. I have 4 plants in 1 gallon coco so im trying to get as much from it as i can. I figure 1 boost wouldnt be so bad. I actually make most my nutrients. In the bible i believe they have something against a city Moab and i think it funny tbis product is called that since in the eyes of most organic growers products like this should be avoided. It actually wasnt much. 8 bucks for the smaller size. At a teaspoon every 5 gallons I think theres enough to last me 2 years lol. So cheap in my area because there are 5 hydro shops in the area, 3 on the same block.
