I’ve read the white-paper, they do have evidence that the four bacteria together do facilitate phosphorus uptake, better than any of them alone.
But there’s also a ton of people who see no difference using it and not using it. Maybe their soil isn’t sustaining the organisms, maybe they just don’t have the phosphorus tied up in such a way as to allow the beneficials to do their job. Idk.
What bugs me is that you’re supposed to use it over and over, which shouldn’t be the case for an innoculant.
Lol morning buzz! Perhaps it’s the LACK of mammoth p!
@DiggySoze if honest, I don’t take white papers as the end all be all of anything. Unfortunately, a lot of ‘research’ depends on who is the financier. Perfect example is cannabis ‘testing’. Strains hitting 30+% thc… yeah colour me skeptical. I agree with the continued use of it as weird
Cannabis plants infected with mycorrhiza fungus require much less phosphate. If you add a fertilizer with too much phosphate, you run the risk of killing the mycorrhizae, which are very phosphate sensitive.
The man the myth the legend chimes in! Thank you sir. One day (maybe) I’ll be able to make the same claims, but my growing abilities are subpar at best
I think it will help if you add to an otherwise sterile or near-clean environment but am a soil grower & am in the same camp as @ReikoX. My yield wasn’t bad but it wasn’t crazy freakishly better. They claim I think a 16% bump & I was convinced by Growmau5’ youtube side-bys-de comparison trial that it was worth the gamble. 70$ for an extra OZ+ may be worth the gamble to a lot of folks but I am in complete agreement about the supposed continual refreshing required. I “expanded” my batch (aerated bucket+molasses) & it seemed to go OK.
Top is Mac. Second is garlic breath x pink bazooka. Bred by a good friend on another forum. This is the second I have grown out and excited for her to finish. Sadly didn’t write flip date for her down
Caps cut. Pain in the ass (for me) during veg, but really packed in on late in flower. Looking back, I wish I would have kept a cut, but it’s all good, room to run more
Also, has stated multiple times his cut doesn’t cross out well. Perhaps to prevent others from breeding with it, or he wasn’t satisfied w progeny from her. But he has bred her out a few times so who knows
