[Dr. Bloor]

My question has indeed been answered! tx Rhizome!

[Dr. Bloor]

Maybe tomato growers in the valley would?

Is this myco-fungi safe to use on seedlings 1-2 weeks old, or is it in the same realm as nutes?

[rhizome]

Safe as milk, so to speak...

(Sorry, old hippy referance. Don't use milk)

I just this week am working on an experiment using long-fibre coco inoculated with Myco-Stim and Serenade as a cloning medium. They've been in for a little over a week with no mortality so far out of about 30 cuts. I did a batch alongside using the rapidrooters as a control, since it is easier to pull them out and check for roots. So far I am hopeful. Updates to come.

Stinky.....uhhh.....like I have any idea what that means....:wtf:

[Opie Yutts]

Weedhound, I think:

long-fibre coco
The long fibers from coconut husk, cleaned, dried and chopped up.

inoculated
It means to put some molecules where they will reproduce, triggering an increase in immunity to diseases.

Myco-Stim
A fungus that helps root growth.

Serenade
Helps stop fungus and bacteria. Wait, I must be wrong somewhere. No sense adding a fungus and anti-fungus. Where am I screwing up stinky?

cloning medium
Whatever stuff you use to stick your cuttings in while they root.

[stinkyattic]

Serenade is Bacillus subtilis and I added it in hopes of stopping harmful fungus- we'll see if there's any point to it.
Local temps are peaking in the low 90s today and I lost a couple to mold yesterday- I'm having terrible temp control problems.

Fox Farms makes a wonderful, mild potting soil called 'Happy Frog', that is perfect for seedlings, it also has plenty of mycorrhiza and humic acid in it ... but, what I really like, they also make Happy Frog Soil Amendment, which is the straight mycorrhiza, that is to be added to whatever soil you already use (the residue recovered from the base of rotting trees, etc in the forest, it says) ... my babies love the stuff ... for adult plants, I'm using two parts FF Ocean Forest, one part Happy Frog Soil Amendment, and a 1/2 part perlite ... :smokin:
