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

You’re supposed to add Mykos when you transplant. You dip your roots in the granules. Adding them to a tea does nothing.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
So in your opinion, when she waters that tea in, the microbes just magically disappear?You’re supposed to add Mykos when you transplant. You dip your roots in the granules. Adding them to a tea does nothing.
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.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.
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.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.

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

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

And I'm off to post #1! Lol. Does look like a good read....Also for anyone still reading....
Hey thanks! I'm pretty excited myself.And I'm off to post #1! Lol. Does look like a good read....
Edit: Wow. That's just amazing. Looking forward to the next grow!
