Fungal Dominated? And No Mycos? I'm Curious"
The dose of mycorrhizal inoculum in the Sunshine Mix fraction of the soil has been cooking for a good while. The seedling and early growth soil has added inoculum as well. I don't add any extra transplanting into the flower soil because I want a more bacteria/archea dominated soil biology as the plant progresses towards flowering. Fungal domination for early growth. Bacterial domination for late growth and flower.
You know that mycos will most likely fail to ever germinate if it doesn't come into connect with living roots within 24 hours after applying it to the soil. There's a video on page three of my thread in regards, that pretty much sums it up, but that information is available pretty much everywhere.
There's also a nice thread here in the organics section!
But In learning this a while back tho, I stopped adding it my soil mixes, and have since, never understood why ppl or companies add it to their soil mixes. In addition to that, given how costly mycos are, how much do you think said company actually adds per bag?
And what makes you think that adding mycos will shift the soil to being a fungally dominant soil?
As far as I've learned, for a soil to be fungi dominant, it needs to be really old and undisturbed, and mycorrhizae are a root fungus, versus a soil fungi, which means no roots, no host, no mycos!
Also, as far as I'm concerned, or have learned via Teaming With Microbes, the plants dictate the outcome/makeup of the soil, by producing exudates that attract the bacteria and fungi that it needs for nourishment.
But I'm curious as to your logic and what you may know that I don't!
& blessing.
Ps, in regards to this post
Why, praytell, bacterial for flowering? Is it because of the production of humates and available P in the soil?
Mycorrhizae actually fetch P in the soil, which is all the most resin to be sure that your roots are infected with the fungi during prior to flowering! Any thoughts ladies and gents?
