I dont think you fully understand what mycorrhizae is/are.
It's a fungi, in a simple explanation they attach themselves to roots and build a vast network of 'tubes' that extend the reach of the roots. Thy use each other in a symbiotic relationship.
You're building a mycelium network around the pot.

mycorrhiza is not the fungus itself but its function actually thats why the term mycorrhizal fungi exists and if you look at my original post i was talking about the symbiosis called mycorrhiza not the fungi anyway wikipedia might explain it better than me

again plural form is mycorrhizae so both are ok in my book

I use Great White in 100% coco. Sprinkle on the roots and hole in the new pot when transplanting.

THIS! great white is great because it give you the bacteria as well. Cannabis is said to grow best when there is a certain ratio of bacteria/fungal in the root zone. I believe it is 3:1 fungal to bacteria. I have used great white for a long time with coco and no issues. but I recommend that you add some organic matter I.E. Bio char/worm casting so they have a source of carbon that is required for the processes. using straight coco will limit their effectiveness. Also make sure they have a source of carbohydrates (sugars) to feed on

Also like stated above, they form a symbiotic relationship with the root. So that if there are nutrient pockets/water etc that are beyond the plants roots reach, the network of mycelium will make the bridge between the resources and the root

Don't worry @bk78 I never pay full price :eyesmoke:
It goes alot further too. Don't need to apply as much. But yes I agree other brands do well too.

The real question is which strains of mykos work with cannabis? Great White and others use a lot of different strains, but do they all useful for our needs? I like Dynomyco, because the seems to focus on the science of cannabis.

thats the deal right? there are probably 50 thousand fungus strain is out there how can you narrow it down to 1 or 2 strains no one could have possibly worked with all of them and i know they really don’t need to work with all of them but still i don’t really believe that single strain stuff. still i’m sure they work but do you need it really, in organic soil i don’t think so.

Do people know that if you chop your plant and leave the roots in the pot for about ten days that you can chop those roots back up and mix them with some soil and you're basically inoculating that soil? The plant that you inoculated and grew would be the trap pot. The mycorrhiza is still on the roots of the plant and can be used to inoculate other plants. Or you can choose to pay for it forever.

A SIMPLE METHOD FOR MAKING YOUR OWN MYCORRHIZAL INOCULUM





I do use microbes with soil grows but not coco. I collect my own though. I get a much wider variety than any commercial product that only has a few specific strains.

People don't understand that.

Youngsang Cho said it pretty well.

"Modern science knows less than one percent of the total number of microorganisms in existence. We know this because only one percent of microorganisms can be cultivated with the methods developed by science.

Modern farming recommends the input of "good" microorganisms and teaches us to suppress the "bad" ones. The selective usage of microbes is regarded as scientific farming. However, it is nonsense to divide "good" and "bad" microorganisms. Remember, we know less than one percent. Use the leaf mold soil as the starter for microorganism culture. JADAM does not separate the "good" ones from the leaf mold soil and uses them selectively."
