Hello Apollonia,

Figured I should chime in since nobady else has. I've experimented with aero and fog, and I'm about to put into service an aero/fog grow tray.

My understanding of mychorrhizae as a benifical is that it works to break down the nutrients to a more usable state for the roots. The further you move away from soil or soiless (like pro-mix, that contains it) the less the need would be to use it. Like you have already heard, I'm not sure it will survive in an aero system.

You have raised a interesting idea about using bio-balls in your rez, as a place for it to live and do it's thing. I beleive if you really are trying to hold on to an "organic" type of nutrient in an aero rez, it would definitly be worth an experiment to try it.:thumbsup:

I personally subscribe to the "better living thru chemistry" philosiphy. :
If you do it, please let us know how it works out.
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Mycorrhizae in aeroponics? I've heard that Mycorrhizal fungi are either of no or very limited benefit in an aeroponics system or they cannot live in aeroponics as there is no medium for them to colonize (I thought they could colonize the root system in that case) but I have the urge to try mycorrhizae has excellent properties in aeroponics & you just have to watch that they do not clog your misters. The product I'm thinking of using is SubCulture M from General Hydroponics in conjunction with Subculture B, which I am Rating: 5
