Mycorrhiza

[Dr. Bloor]

I was in a nice store the other day a noticed they had a bag of Mycorrhiza. When i used to work in a tree farm we always knew about it. However, it was very specific to the tree. I remember one time I took a caterpillar tractor out and very carefully lifted the top 4" of soil up so it could be loaded up and transferred to another location so they would be more able to grow the same trees we were growing. It was all about the mycorrhiza. Apparently it is in the top 4' of the soil.
My question now is,and I should have asked those experts then. Is what do you think of using it?
I am thinking about it. However if the mycorrhiza is specific to a redwood tree, as this one was, how do you know what kind of mycorrhiza the stores sell in their bags? Are there mycorrhiza specific to cannabis and what are there brands?
Thanks for reading all of this. Dr. Bloor

wth? This is way out of my leage.

[Dr. Bloor]

Mychcorrhiza is a fungus as I understand it that has a symbotic relationship between roots and the soil and the nutrients that are picked up. Anyone? There must be some soil expert out there for this one.

[Dr. Bloor]

Something to think about though! I would like to hear from the real experts here on this question.

There are both specific and general use myco inoculants- generally, when you're using specifics, you're recreating a symbiotic relationship that the cultivar has a known relationship w/, but isn't native to the cultivar's location.

The general purpose mycos are an unspecific mix of endo&ecto sp. that are common worldwide in healthy soil- sterilization for poting mix destroys them, so you have to re-introduce. Promix actually markets a formulation that's got myco spores mixed right into the media, so it's pretty much live as soon as you water it.

I like the OGM.

Hope that's expert enough for ya......:thumbsup:

I already was aware of specific mychocorrhiza. Well that cool! I know that the mychocorrhiza has a symbiotic realization. I know when we were inoculating the soil for a specific tree we wold use the specific Mychorrhiza. It had to be very specific. What we were doing is trying to grow trees where they were not usually grown, thats why I was driving a driving a cat around in a field with a lifting bar to bring up the top soil. 4" to bring up the Mychorrhiz. These were so specific to the tree. To transfer the mychorrhiz to another location. Specific to this tree,
So still the question I have is the mychorrhiz in a grow store specific to our plant? Otherwise it seems a waste of money!

[Weedhound]

I believe he's saying there are two kinds....and the one in most potting soils is the "general purpose". Logically I would think if you put in something specific to a certain type of plant you'd want to be listing it on the bag wouldn't you? so i think he did answer your question.....i THINK..

It's as specific as it needs to be- and one of the cheapest things you can use to optimize a plant. $ 10 worth of myco will do bales and bales and bales of soiless mix/ potting soil.

Nobody's gonna put " marijuana specific" on packaging- when you do, it becomes illegal. Hell, even Advanced publishes feeding schedules for melons- who's gonna spend $700 ( 2+ series, 40 g res, 8 week cycle) to grow a melon?
