Best microbes for cannabis

Any decent organic soil already has plenty of micro-organisms. Feed the ones already in the soil. There is no need to buy a commercial product. They multiply extremely rapidly. Healthy soil = teeming with microbes.

The majority of these products didn't exist until they found a market to sell them. Enter cannabis growers that are willing to buy any product regardless of the benefit.
That doesn't help me much in coco/perlite tho.

Sure, I've heard great things too, but if you look at the ingredients and the relative amounts of the two products, the appear to be approx the same. Why pay 3x as much for a nice plastic shaker jar with a fancy shark label? I'd rather spend money on the microbes than the packaging, unless I'm missing some crutial missing link in Great White which isn't in Mikro-Myko.
Thats why I like the xtreme gardens myco...nothing fancy. I get a thick mat of white roots with their stuff and just sprinkle the rootball when i plant.

I'm sure their product is decent, but it only has one type of myrco and at a ration of 1/500 compared to Great White or Mikro-Myco..

Yep. They use the strain of myco that colonize specifically to cannabis roots. When you have a bunch of others in the mix they have found that intraradices ultimately dominates the roots. I think it was Bruce Bugbee who was discussing the various research. Their Azos is good stuff too. I use Azos to clone with as well.

I did a quick comparison of three products to see how much it costs to get a million colony forming units of mycros into your medium, and found it to be pretty enlightening:

Here in México, this is what I've got, so far it has worked fine I think, my plants after transplant did just fine, even the one that had a terrible transplant.

I'm thinking about buying this other one, it says is good against certain phytopathogenic fungi.

Whip Up Your Own Probiotics
It’s entirely possible to brew your own garden microbes using a few simple materials. All you need is a jar, some molasses, a little water and some dirt. Homebrewed microbial mix can be spray directly onto plant foliage or diluted in water to increase its volume. Remember, the idea is to colonize the garden with healthy, biodiverse soil bacteria. Translation: More isn’t always better. If you’ve always wanted to try home brewing, start with a cocktail — of thriving plant microbes!”

The microbes we want are present in about 87% of soils that support plant life.

That's part of the reason I use Great White - it was the cheapest product in the store and just as effective as anything else I used. Plus it dissolves easily in h2o.
