I bought a product that has mycorrhiza in it... reading the benefits of inoculating the seed I also that this product had a dose.
I plan to inoculate my next cannabis seeds but I still have no idea what it is like (the manufacturers did not give me much information, I only know that the product dissolves in the water)

according to me you let germinate the seeds leaving them in the glass of that water mix, or you use that water to soak the paper towels and germinate them there

Am I correct?? what's the process and what can I do with that water to germinate them using those methods

Thanks

Usually what I do to inoculate a seed with mykos is I germinate using the paper towel method then once it has a taproot, I sprinkle the mykos directly on the taproot before I plant into a solo cup. I do the same thing again when I transplant. Some Mykos Products allow you to dissolve it in water and do a root drench, however it is way more effective to make direct contact with the roots:weed:

thanks for the info :bigjoint:
I'm going to try it that way with some of the regular seeds that I have to compare results...also plan to germinate 2 seeds of rqs I will add the mycorrhizae once I transplant them from small pots to one gallon pots

I don't want anything bad to happen to the root of the seeds :sad:

For non-cannabis seeds like nitrogen fixing cover crops, farmers just coat the seed shells in a nitrogen fixing bacteria before sowing the seeds in the ground, usually just tossing them in a cup or something.
Mycorrhiza ONLY works when roots are present...it will not do anything to an un-germinated seed. You are better off saving your myco's until you actually have roots.

My technique is to germinate in Jiffy pellets (top/bottom mesh cut away) and transfer the day after sprout to a
pre moistened depression that has been liberally dusted with mycorrhizae. You can see the taproot emerging from
the Jiffy day after sprout. I checked the roots 30 days later and the development looked good. That being said I've never
done a with or without myco comparison, so I can't quantify the benefits.

I germinate direct in coco, or sometimes in rapid rooters. I usually soak my seeds in fulvic/seaweed for 12 hours, then take them out, roll them around in the mycorrhizae product, then plant directly to germinate.
