bump...just wanted to double check that it is ok to use this in organics ?
I have used Azos and mycorrhizae during transplants and so far have not been blown away....The Rapid Start has blown up plants on me big time.
The material data sheet is a little scary....Not supposed to get it on your skin, etc...Does this mean it can get transmitted through the plant, and into your smoke ? Or, am I way off base here ?

Better idea, read the Recylced Organic Living Soil thread and make your own organic version.
I'd really like to know who your very knowledgable person is, and how they connsider this to be ok for organics?
There's not a chance in hell this stuff would come anywhere near my organic grow.
But that's just my 2¢,
P-
Biowar, the question was if it will kill the life. It will not, it appears they can handle a bit more then we think. Im done with organics any how at this point.

It's unfortunate you're done with organics. I would be interested on what information @biowar made his conclusion that these will not hurt microbes?
P-
not sure, but if I were to ask anybody anything about that micro life it will be him.
He has studied it extensively apparently, I came across him searching for the best bacto/fungi/endo ect... It was Voodoo, Myco or them and his was stacked better and was a bonus that I found out he was a community member
