I have to start off by saying... Ok, science only goes so far...
Though I read an article recently in a well know magazine speaking about the whole soil vs hydro taste. They said it's all a bunch of poppy cock garbage about having a taste difference. Though I beg to differ really. Even my soil vegetables have flavor while the hydroponics I buy at the store have no taste. So I agree soil must have a taste. Maybe it's salt! Maybe since soil can't have all salts flushed, the plant dies with salt build up. Therefore, hydro is able to clear all salts because nothing is held within the medium..
What do you think of this idea?
As for a hydro method and being organic, I think you could look into doing beneficial teas and bat guano tea, blood tea, all kinds of teas. The plant is gonna eat whatever you give it as long as it's in the right amount without causing burn. Maybe in the end don't flush completely 100%, leave a light mixture, or pour in some coconut milk for some flavor. Its good for the plant anyway.

Yes salt buildup is bad but in true organics tere are never any salts introduced to soil to begin with. My money is sill on organic for taste. And just was trying a friends meds out. He grows soil with fox farm trio. Horrible taste and almost feels like swallowing ocean water so yes I think salt buildup. And phosphors that gives nasty taste
And as for teas my new soil is highly amended so interpret my teas will only feed the micro herd and soil web. Not really the plant. Feed the soil. The soil feeds te plant. Here's some of my newest in super soil mix. Mychoriza added during transplant. Aact only be used once so far. And wil do bi weekly in flower. If you want to check Out my recipe it's in my recent post of my blog

I will defiantly check out your recipe.
I swear I read somewhere that Mychoriza doesn't aid in short growth like ours. You have to mix it in the soil and feed it for a few months before using it. Have you heard about this?

Don't use synthetic fertilizers in organic soils your killing off the microlife. Don't use big bloom in veg stick with your tea. Maybe look into seed sprout teas, beans being a nitrogen fixer makes a good sst. About the first pictures looks similar to being rootbound when your roots get bound up it will cause lockout would also explain why only a few were affected. and if your using RO water you need to add the cal-mag plus. make sure your ph adjusting your water/tea mix every time you water. Look on the bag of soil and see what all is in there. soilless mixes require a different ph than soil. I say this because when I ran bx promix I had to ph my water mixture to 6.3 if I got over 6.5 I started having trouble.

You have to sprinkle it on the roots. mycorrhiza needs a root zone to be effective. I know there are some people that mix it in their soil it cold be a good thing. some formulas have other beneficials in them that may help colonize some microlife. The best way to use it is to sprinkle it on the roots when you transplant.

I'm under the impression that Mychoriza takes 30 days to get going. As stated above, place some in the planting hole at the root site and it will get going. I grow giant pumpkins in a 400 sq. foot patch and at every tap root I place a spoonful. I used 2 pounds of Mychoriza this year and the roots where everywhere and better then any previous years. I'm sold on the stuff.
