Great White (beneficial bacteria and fungi)

[Frosty Nuggets]

I got 750g for AU$150 from ebay.

Great stuff! Great White! Sprinkle into medium or seed hole. Also use a dash when germinating old seeds with filtered water.

anyone using rid x or yeast to get similar resultz?

 

[Dr.King]

The good thing about Great White is you can even use it as top dressing and just water it right into your soil. You don't even need to mix it into your water to get it into your soil . Pro tip right from the company. Happy growing all.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

I've been using Great White in my DWC and have seen phenominal growth.

Great White is a over priced nonsense..

Great White is a over priced nonsense..

Judging by the comments, none of you have read Dr. Jeff Lowenfells book "Teaming with Fungi", because if you had, you would know that the cannabis plant only binds and utilizes one species of fungi efficiently, Rhizophagus Intercedes. You are all wasting money on Great White. The product with the most Rhizophagus Intercedes on the market is the Wallace Organic Wonder. The one with the giant pumpkin on it. The dude beat his own world record 3 times for the biggest pumpkin in the Guinness world record book. The stuff absolutely blows Great White out of the water, hydroponic pun intended lol, and you can get a pound of the stuff for only like $25 dollars off amazon. Seriously, check it out though. Also check out Dr. Lowenfells book "Teaming with Fungi". There is a ton of good information in there, as it relates to cannabis cultivation with mycorrhizae and beneficial fungi.
...Good weed and good vibes...

Cannabis uses lots of non-myco fungals. Not all soil fungus is mycoorizial. I've been working on a list. Actual strain names and duties of each strain, so people don't have to buy rebranded marked up mystery crap with a cool label.

I got another 1 ounce shaker bottle coming.

My Euro worms like the full balance meal of microorganisms in Great White too.

I am, thank you.

because if you had, you would know that the cannabis plant only binds and utilizes one species of fungi efficiently, Rhizophagus Intercedes.

Indeed. Were you aware he had to change all his books, due to the name change? It's now glomus intraradices. You're correct about the Wallace Organic Wonder being a great source for it.

As for it being the "only" one beneficial to cannabis, Lowenfells does not feel that way. It's the only one which has been 'verified' though.

Anyone ever notice Springtails in your medium after using this?. Third time I’ve used it and I have the little buggers every time.

 

[mack 10]

If these products are foliar feed,
Would those plants fail the tests?
I know some states have limits on those things. Just wondering as a lot of samples have failed in microbial tests, could this be a cause?

No Springtails here.

Hello guys

I use Great White often

Few days ago i run into their safety datasheet
https://www.onestopgrowshop.co.uk/s...UCCESS_GREAT_WHITE_PREMIUM_SDS.PDF?1573655255

Hazard-determining components of labeling:
Attapulgite (Palygorskite) (fibrous dust)
Quartz (SiO2)·
Hazard statements
May cause cancer.
May cause respiratory irritation.
cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.

Any opinions on this?

Sounds extremely dangerous and hazard, i really think i will not buy it again

I bet others, if not most products like this, with trichoderma or mycoriza etc, will be the same

 

[troutman]

Just ordered a 4 oz container.
My plants and worm bins will be happy.

I don't think it's healthy to breathe in any dust that contains bacteria, fungi, etc.
Just apply it to your plants and don't inhale. Even breathing vermiculite or perlite
dust is bad. So just be careful and all will be fine. Wash your hand after as well.

I add some to my worm bin to enhance soil building

I will receive Trichoderma harzianum soon and I also have Rhizophagus irregularis (previously known as Glomus intraradices ) .

So can I add to my wormbox ? , they won't unbalance the substrate of the worms ? and I will benefit of the power of the mushrooms in my vermicompost ?

If I can inoculate with my vermicompost, it will be good ...

 

[troutman]

My worms won't stop multiplying.

I put the functioning of the trichodermas hazarnium according to the salesman, but it seems credible :

Mode of action
It grows around the roots of the plant and forms a "protective cover" to prevent infection by pathogenic fungi on the roots.
It can secrete enzymes and antibiotics to decompose the cell walls of pathogenic fungi.
Mechanism
Competitive effect: Trichoderma harzianum T-22 can grow rapidly in the root and leaf circumferences of plants, occupying the sites on the surface of the plant body, forming a protective cover, just like putting a boot on the plant, preventing pathogenic fungi from contacting the root system of the plant And the surface of the leaves, so as to protect the roots and leaves of the plant from the infection of the above-mentioned pathogens, and to ensure that the plant can grow healthily.
Heavy parasitism: Heavy parasitism refers to a complex process of a series of successive steps of identification, contact, entanglement, penetration and parasitism of pathogenic bacteria. During the interaction between Trichoderma and pathogenic bacteria, the host hyphae secrete some substances to make Trichoderma grow towards the host fungus. Once the host is recognized by the Trichoderma parasite, a parasitic relationship will be established. After Trichoderma recognizes the host fungus, the Trichoderma hyphae grows parallel and spirally entwined along the host hyphae, and produces attachment cell-like branches that are adsorbed on the host hyphae, dissolve the cell wall by secreting extracellular enzymes, and penetrate the host hyphae. Absorb nutrients, and then kill pathogenic bacteria.
Antibiotic effect: Trichoderma harzianum can secrete a part of antibiotics, which can inhibit the growth and colonization of pathogens and reduce the harm of pathogens.
Plant growth regulation: Trichoderma colonizes plant roots and produces compounds that stimulate plant growth and induce plant defense responses, improve the microenvironment of the root system, enhance plant growth and disease resistance, and increase crop yield and profit.

here is the dosage:

and the packaging to show that it is send as fungicid !

about Glomus Intraradices ( a.k.a. Rhizophagus irregularis ), here is the description : https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/glomus-intraradices

extracts :

The beneficial effects of AM fungi (AMF) on plant growth and crop production are well informed from a number of researches (Smith and Read, 2008; Miransari, 2011), such as AMF help to increase the efficiency of plants to water and nutrient uptake, enrich soil structure, interplay with other soil microflora, monitor pathogenic inflation, and mitigate abiotic stresses including heavy metals

...

Colossal fungal biomass grown along the root zone of plants also competes with the plant’s pathogenic fungi. Through these competitive interactions, AMF minimize the volume of pathogenic microbial population surrounding the rhizosphere.
