Mycorrhiza Fungi...why you should get to know them...

Can vouch for the power of mushrooms in the outdoor setting. When I finally get the chance to cultivate cannabis outside, I'll be plugging mature plants into semi-shady alcoves where the soil is dressed to impress. My garden is getting so lush that you can just scoop up a handful of rich, brown, savory-smelling dirt from anywhere. Of course, it'll "tear out" with minor resistance, as its being separated from countless webs, literal and figurative. I'd boast there's nothing you couldn't grow in one of these sweet spots I've been cultivating, even with limited sunlight, as there's a hundred-foot oak just off the property that throws shade day and night. I'm waiting for the lightning bolt that'll fell it and supercharge the local mycelium. ;)

Sometimes, things are so well written, it would be a dis-service to paraphrase them. I ran across this page on Mycorrhizal Fungi and thought it was great info. So, here is a link to it:
.
Mycorrhiza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.
Give it a read. Afterwards, you will have a better understanding of why these myco fungi - sold in products like Plant Sucess, Myco Magic, Sub-Culture and Super Plant Tonic - kick such serious a*s.
.
Add them in your grow and reap the benefits. These little fungi, mine out every last bit of P for Mary - so her buddage reaches maximum potential.
.
They also pump up the plants immune system by making all the necessary trace minerals soluble and kill off bad bacteria as a bonus. It's a win / win formula. So, next time someone says " There's a fungus among us - Say Cool, I was hopeing for some. "
.
Keep it Real...Organic.....
.
I bought some, a while ago...
Saw no noticeable difference, to be honest with y'all.
I might do a 50/50 test with the upcoming plants, to have some proof for myself.
Not saying anything against using it, just my personal experience tells me it's not a necessity.

Exactly what difference were you expecting to see?
To be honest, I'd expect no difference which would be an argument for saving budget and not giving a damn about the mycos.
Best case: a bigger harvest which would be an argument for keeping the mycos in the shopping list.

Why should I add something that has no noticable effect what so ever, just so I can argue about it for no reason?

Having tried every type of myco available local / Bigfoot granular/gold , great white , dyno myco , orca and several others / my favorite so far is recharge by growers choice . I can’t tell you why it works so well , “some believe the trichoderma” but anytime my plants have been sad or showed sign of deficiency , I add recharge to my reservoir and within 24-48 hours , they’re praying and dark green and back in business
. If you’re on the fence about trying it - give it a shot ,it’s revived some of my most disastrous grows .

Do you even know how mycorrhizae works?

A lot of stuff. even bagged soil already has it in there. Just takes a couple weeks for it to flourish, or begin flourishing. Great White was a hot product awhile back and Mykos too. Most of the differences are underneath the soil, wider and bigger root ball. It's usually added during a transplant to minimize transplant shock.

My roots are just fine, and as you said my soil had it in there already ;)
