I do use it during cloning and early veg exactly the way you said, but I’ve compared grows using it vs other stuff and the results were pretty much the same. So yea I say over rated because of the price compared to cheaper stuff with the same result.
I would like to point out that gathering a bucketful of bark from deadfall hardwoods while taking a walk is a starter for great micros. I find white oak works well in MI. Just break it up with your hands. Dump it in a shaded damp spot in your backyard. 90 days and the bottom layer is "LIVE" fungi forever. Providing a bark replacement as needed. Frost freeze proof and free. Water and a walk. Peace and organics.
Check out bright green thumb. Performed the same as the control. Big reason why I never used it
It's ok to put in with nutrients. Throw some molasses in their to feed it. You want the plant to take up Great White inside the roots sytemically
Personally, I would use it on a tea day every 4th or 5th feed. But like Purple just mentioned, it is water soluble and you can mix it right in with your regular feeds @ 1/2 tsp. per gallon of water. I used Orca last season in a similar way, the difference being that Orca is a liquid version.
I don't like Orca personally. I was told by an expert you want to mix with nutrients because the plant will uptake the Myco while up taking the nutes at the same time. The nutrients help facilitate this. I would just mix nutrients at half strength because the myco itself can cause nutrient burn. Never use more than what the bottle says either
