Great info MrS, thanks! I would guess that the PremierTech mycorrhiza is the stuff they use in the ProMix that includes mycorrhiza. If folks really want to make their own ProMix HP, that would be the stuff to add!
I would have to guess the same as it would make sense and yes all those FauxMix users should look at using it too.
:thanks:
 
I will add something to your lesson, if you don’t mind MrS.

For those that make and use organic soils and have added mycos, if you leave your roots in the soil, whether ”no-till” or reamended, as those roots die, new spores form to inoculate any new roots that come in contact with the spores.

I don't mind. For organics you could also add that if a soil is lacking microbial activity, it's not likely a good soil for mycorrhizae to grow in. Like plants, mycorrhizal fungi need good soil conditions in which to grow. There's lots to cover including myths surrounding the use of mycos but I tried to keep it simple.
Thanks Celt.
 
Thanks for the write-up Mr S!

Unfortunately we don't have access to the big brands down here, as far as I'm aware.

We do have this local brand/product which has a good reputation. But stuff here is always so expensive :laughtwo:
Looks like a great product. I see it even has clay and DE in it.

What is Mycorrhiza?
Myco means 'fungus' and rhiza means 'root', so it literally means fungus-root and describes the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and root fungus (mycorrhizae is the plural form of mycorrhiza). Mycorrhizal fungal filaments are extensions of root systems (hyphae) and are more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots alone. These fungi colonizes plant roots and extends far into the soil. Around 95 percent of plant species on the planet form a symbiotic relationship with the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.

Function
The surface absorbing area of roots increase with the presence of mycorrhizal fungi which improves the ability of the plant to access soil resources. Mycorrhizae are an essential part of a healthy soil system, and several miles of hypha filaments can be present in less than a teaspoon of soil. Mycorrhizal fungi increase nutrient uptake by increasing the surface absorbing area of the roots and will release organic compounds into the soil that solubilize nutrients, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other bound soil nutrients more difficult to capture.
This process is important in plant nutrition and non-mycorrhizal plants may require higher levels of fertilization to maintain their health since mycorrhizal fungi form a detailed web that captures and takes in nutrients. With cannabis it means increasing the synthesis of molecules such as terpenes and cannabinoids by stimulating the chemotype of a plant.

How do I add mycorrhizal fungi to my plants?
Mycorrhizal inoculants such as Mykos or Great White provide the fungi the plant needs. Although I don't endorse any of these products and I don't provide detailed data on them, there are some certain things to consider before purchasing. The below image provides three key things to keep in mind when sourcing mycorrhizal inoculants.

Promix has their own line and has been designed for cannabis growers by keeping those three aspects in mind. From their site they claim that with 6000 viable spores per gram, their inoculant is the most concentrated product of its kind on the market. By applying it as a slurry on your rooted cuttings when transplanting, you obtain approximately 30,000 viable spores in direct contact with the root system. The symbiosis will happen, and it will happen fast.
Here's a little video that you may all enjoy as well.


So I hope you enjoyed this little lesson about Mycorrhiza!

:Rasta:
Hey Mr. S. Love the lesson! Here is the silly question that formed in my head while reading this...And I will likely not phrase the question properly so apologies in advance.
I can’t get my “quote” thingy to work so I will quote now: “This process is important in plant nutrition and non-mycorrhizal plants may require higher levels of fertilization to maintain their health since mycorrhizal fungi form a detailed web that captures and takes in nutrients”. So, based on that quote, could it be possible that those of us using ProMix could be over fertilizing (based on label directions)? Just a weird thought. Also, do you think that you can over water in ProMix? I ask because I’ve overwatered before I other soil and want to make sure I’m not “under” watering now in ProMix! :eye-roll:

Only if you see signs of it such as burnt tips. Ferts like MC which contain higher levels of N, P, K, Ca and Mg can be overused without noticing any damage until you flip to flower. Understanding your nutes is important and not directly related to the mycorrhiza.
Also, do you think that you can over water in ProMix? I ask because I’ve overwatered before I other soil and want to make sure I’m not “under” watering now in ProMix!
Yes you can overwater in Promix. The Promix users can probably chime in as I use FFOF and similar media.
 
Aloha MrSauga! Super healthy and happy plants you got there my friend. What a wonderful and thoughtful gift as well! Mahalo again for the time and knowledge you share. Lots of aloha from over here as always

:passitleft:
 
Nice! Is the LSTed LOG1 one still ahead of the topped PG1 growth-wise?
It is but I'm trying to keep both LOGK's low. The inside growth on PG1 is almost even with the 4 main colas so there should be better growth there soon.

Thanks Sunny and yes it was a wonderful surprise. I hope you and the family are well and have a great day today!
 
I was doing some rounds and realized that one of my journal followers was getting some incorrect information from a certain member here. Instead of getting in an argument I thought I would re-post this link on foxtailing.

Had foxtailing for the first time on my last TD girl. It was most definitely heat and light stress. I did get some people arguing that it wasn’t finished etc because it still had white pistils emerging but it was done. That was an auto so lesson learned there. On my only photo growing now (Dr S) I recently switched to 11/13 and will probably be doing that with them all, at least in their final month. It may be that or other factors but she’s finishing very early (a good thing) and it definitely did not hurt to switch light schedule by an hour each way.
Great Journal here Mr S, so much great info and really beautiful ladies!
 
Your Weedsexpress girls are looking great! :thumb:

I especially love those "high contrast" shots you took. How about an education session on how you do that? ;)
 
Thanks goody. Your girls are looking gorgeous too btw. Nice job.
My last couple crops have all got better because of you guys, so thank you for the real tips found in all these journals.
