Do you guys add your mycorrhizae at the beginning of your brew ? Or at the end when brew is done and right before you water ? Im also curious about the same thing but with epsom salts.. Before or after ? Thanks for the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
dont add mycorrhizae to your teas, its a waste. If you happen to have a water soluble mycorrhizae you want to add to your tea, only do it for like 30 minutes and then feed the tea. Without living roots for them to associate with, they'll just die. Otherwise just sprinkle it on your roots/holes during transplant. I dont really use epsom salts but I would probably add that later.
If you use an air pump you can add them at the start because that is what tea is and the air stone will keep them oxygenated. The purpose of tea is to increase the microbes but if you steep it wait until just before you water it in then add it because they need oxygen.
When you buy Mycorrhizae fungi powder from the store you are buying fungal spores. Adding it to a tea is wasteful and completely useless. These spores require root contact in order to germinate. As said above, use a very small Amount and dust bare roots at transplant. J
Thanks for the reply. Im looking into using nature's solution mycorrhizae. Directions state below Directions for use: Mix with water or Nature's Solution Compost Tea, then spray on seeds, dip the root, or apply it directly in a planting hole -- using the rate of one teaspoon for every one gallon of water. Or you can just put a few granules of the powder into every planting hole. Apply it for planting or transplanting. Or drill holes down by a plant when it is already established. Put the dry powdered product mixed with water or compost tea into each hole. For hudroponics use 2 teaspoons of mycorrhizae for every 10 gallons of tank reservoir. Only apply, if necessary, after a plant is established. I understand it needs direct contact, and sprinkling roots before transplant is probably best. But if If you add mycorrhizae to tea, and then water.. Wouldn't the spores contact the roots through watering and have some benefit ? I ask this because dealing with auto flowers, they don't like to be transplanted. So my only shot for mycorrhizae with auto flower's is when planting seed?

Give a look to MycoGrow Soluble from Fungi Perfecti. www.fungi.com Very well respected and have been in business 30 years or so. Paul Staments is a very prominent mycologist. Wet
I put mine in about an hour before use. Works great for me Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
