Just curious...I use mycorrhizae fungi and re-use the 'middle' layer of flowered plants. Sometimes I harvest plants that finish early, so don't need to water that pot any more.
In not watering the soil, how long will the fungi survive?
If soil is dry, then re-used (and watered) do the fungi start growing again?
Guess what I'm getting at is do I have to add the fungi every time I transplant to my flowering pots which contain about 50% used, flushed soil?
Sorry for the double post. Don't know what happened...:jointsmile:
They, or at least their spores, should still be present when the soil is re-wetted. However it's not a bad idea to give a fresh shot of inoculant anyway.
Okey dokey...thanks.
I put it in my potting soil mix, so it's always there and fresh.
I'm in hydro, but I add mine every feeding.
Works in hydro, too? Cool.
Just make sure you get 'solubile' and not 'granular'. Granular can cause clogs, and doesn't uptake as well..Quote:

I'm a soil grower, but will check it out. Always eager to learn.
Thanks Doc...
Yeah I think that's the one where rhizome recommended I use GH's SubCulture. I thought it was extremely expensive. ($65 for 6 little packs.) But then I figured out it's 1/10 tsp. per gal. so it's not bad at all. It comes in a water soluble pack ready to throw in your 50 gal reservoir.Quote:
