If you dont know about MYCHORRIZAE look here

[Srgt.Stadenko]

Ive been using a natural fertilizer with added mychorrizae and have noticed a big increase in my plants growth and yield. Also after transplanting i almost shit my pants when i saw the enormous size of the rootball!!! Here is a little faq I found on the internet about it and I highly encourage you to add a MYCHORRIZAE product to your arsenal of growing tools.


How do mycorrhizae work?

Mycorrhizal fungi colonize roots forming a biological link between the root and the soil. The fungus grows into the root and out into the soil. The plant responds by altering its physiology in a number of ways. The fungus in the soil absorbs water and nutrients from the soil and conducts them back to the root. Formation of mycorrhizae affects the composition of the microorganisms around the roots, and some of those microbes can influence the plant growth and health.
If there are mycorrhizal fungi in the soil, why inoculate?

The mycorrhizal fungi in the soil my be relatively few and located some distance from new plant roots, thus delaying the formation of mycorrhizae for some time. That delay could be critical to the growth process and benefits from mycorrhizae. The sooner mycorrhizae form, the better for the plant.

Aye mycorrhizae are good. I've just started using them in my new grow.

What they actually do is form a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis. They grow around the roots and facilitate water uptake, at the same time they recieve carbon from the roots. They occur naturally in most soils throughout the world and are a great addition to any grow

Ive been using Happy frog soil and it has Mycorrhizae added and i definately saw bigger and healthier roots than when i used cheap Walmart soil. This is a good thread, i havent seen many threads (if any) on this subject and
Im with you on this Sgt.Stadenko, i absolutely encourage folks to try it

 

[Srgt.Stadenko]

Yes my friend mychorrizae is great! and rarely talked about but the benefits from it are big and I think you will notice the overall diffrence of using it or not.Here is another bit i found on the internet on the workings of the mychorrizae on nitrogen production

MYCORRHIZAL FUNG
Mycorrhizal fungi are especially effective in providing nutrients to plant roots. These are certain types of fungi that actually colonize the outer cells of plant roots, but also extend long fungal threads, or hyphae, far out into the rhizosphere, forming a critical link between the plant roots and the soil. Mycorrhizae produce enzymes that decompose organic matter, solubilize phosphorus and other nutrients from inorganic rock, and convert nitrogen into plant available forms. They also greatly expand the soil area from which the plant can absorb water. In return for this activity, mycorrhizae obtain valuable carbon and other nutrients from the plant roots. This is a win-win mutualism between both partners, with the plant providing food for the fungus and the fungus providing both nutrients and water to the plant. The importance of mycorrhizae in plant productivity and health has often been overlooked. EXAMPLE Pines are not native to Puerto Rico and therefore the appropriate mycorrhizal fungi were absent in the soil. For years, people unsuccessfully tried to establish pines on the island. The pine seeds would germinate well and grow to heights of 8 to 10 cm but then would rapidly decline. In 1955, soil was taken from North Carolina pine forests, and the Puerto Rico plantings were inoculated. Within one year, all inoculated seedlings were thriving, while the un-inoculated control plants were dead. Microscopic analysis showed that the healthy seedlings were well colonized by a vigorous mycorrhizal population. While the benefits of mycorrhizae is not always as dramatic, it has been well documented that mycorrhizal plants are often more competitive and better able to tolerate environmental stress.

does this have any effect on the taste, i have read one thread that says it can spoil the flavour f the buds???
im all for big roots, it can only mean big happy plants,

is anyone aware of this being true or is it a load of bull?

I would say a load of bull....In my experience happy and healthy plants taste sweeter and yield fatter......All the M is doing is making a happier healthier environment for top performance...

 

[Sammet]

They won't increase or decrease taste. Mychorrizae will increase the yield.

 

[Srgt.Stadenko]

kudos! Yield and growth rate. MY early misty was one of the best tasting ganja ive tasted was it because of the Mychro? I dont know I just encourage everyone to use it. ITs already in your soil but innoculating it will give it a running start

 

[Lune TNS]

I've been using Hygrozyme since I first started growing, it's a great product, check it out.

Good luck and stay safe.

 

[Srgt.Stadenko]

Hygrozyme never heard of it Ill look around and try to locate a bottle in my area. The last thing i want to say is just use it and let me know what you think of your White rootball white because you can almost NOt see the dirt behind the mass of roots. Obviously the more happy healthy roots you have the better the plant is going to look. Bigger roots mean Faster Growth, More potency, less fertilizer, its will also make a easier time for nutrient uptake and Water uptake. I also have to say the leaf size has increased in 3 ways. Ive personally noticed a thicker leaf almost the thickness of romaine lettuce.

 

[Sammet]

Hygrozyme isn't the same stuff as Mychorrizae - Hygrozyme are enzymes (proteases) that breakdown dead roots and matter in your soil, freeing up nutrients for your grow.

SIPCO'S "HYGROZYME" A REVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH IN HORTICULTURAL CLEANING

Sipco Industries Ltd. was incorporated in 1974 and began development/production of Enzymatic Biotechnologies over 15 years ago. Headquartered in Delta B.C., Sipco is a recognized industry leader in the development of Enzymatic formulas as "bio-solutions". Sipco's expertise spawned from its work in Marine and Wastewater Treatment, Land Reclamation, Pharmaceutical and Medical grade enzyme technologies and of course - HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS.

When asked "is HYGROZYME just another overnight success for Sipco?" Boris Del Mar of Sipco's Plant Science Division answered, "We wish it was. HYGROZYME is the result of over 10 years of research, testing and approvals to get it to market." HYGROZYME was developed, perfected and field-tested with the help of hydro growers, farmers and industry professionals such as: members of various grower's co-ops in California, Pacific Agricultural Research Center and B.C. Research Council chemists.

HYGROZYME may well be "the greatest breakthrough in Horticulture in the last decade." Simply explained: it is developed using a proprietary bio-fermentation process, made from ALL NATURAL ingredients that produce a supply of BACTERIA-FREE enzymes and complex chains of amino acids.

With HYGROZYME there is no longer a need to introduce or create crop vulnerability by introducing a foreign germ culture to your sterile growing environment. After reviewing current enzymatic market products, it was determined that HYGROZYME actually incorporates all the benefits and capabilities offered by leading enzyme products AND MUCH, MUCH MORE - all in one Powerful Formula! With HYGROZYME though, there are NO concerns of a limited shelf life or spoilage.

INHERENT ABILITIES: CLEANER GROW MEDIUM = HAPPY PLANTS.

KEEPING GROW MEDIUMS CLEAN IS WHAT HYGROZYME IS ALL ABOUT.

CONCLUSION: IF IT WAS A RACE - HYGROZYME IS THE WINNER!


A must get item, Kind of pricey at $37 for a small ass bottle but worth it, I have seen it in action.

There ya go, my bad I didn't give you much info. All credit for that goes to TK.

edit: My fault, I was under the assumption that hgz contained mychorrizae, disregard my post. It still is a good product, though.

 

[Sammet]

No worries Lune, I've got some myself

 

[Guest]

I use EA/EN and in conjuntion with hygrozyme I started getting much higher yields. Salt build up is almost nulified by hygrozyme and anything it breaks down can help feed the roots and the little community of nice microbes from the mychorziae. Super stuff all around. I get gallons of hygrozyme so the cost is steep but the relsults speak for themselves and makes my grow go smoother.

 

[nycdfan042]

im using AN's grow A&B, voodoo juice, piranha...lots of micco and bennies major root bawls!!

 

[lc00p4]

i got the granular plant success mychorrizae and plan on getting more. it was pretty cheap too, $5 i think. how am i supposed to use this and what ratio to the soil? i plan on using it in conjunction with moonshine mix. maybe it will help increase yields, but i just want it for overall happy plants. would this help with nute lockout as well?

 

[MushuHappiness]

Sooo... Where can i possibly get this mychorrizae and hygrozyme? Possibly my local hydroshop maybe?

With that stuff I just sprinkle about a teaspoon in with my soil when transplanting up from seedlings to their vegging pots (approx a gallon). It should help increase yields, but most importantly will help the plants take up water and nutrients, making them more resistant to any deficiencies or watering issues that may arise over the course of a grow.

Here's the back of the stuff I have:

It will be a fine addition to the moonshine mix (about a teaspoon a gallon)

Yep. Hygrozyme is getting pretty popular, as are the types of mychorrizae so should be pretty easy to find. If not some hydro stores might order it for you.

There are lots of brands:

Rooters Mycorrhizae Endo/Ecto Mycorrhae Blend
BAC Funky Fungi
AN Tarantula
Dr Hornbys Piranha

just to name a few

Def most hydroshops have atleast 1 or 2 mychorzaie products. My EA/EN is at all the shops in my area. I have a Wormsway too so thats dope. If hygrozyme isn't carried (which it should be cuz its the OG of new enhanced enzyme products. Made by a canadian pharm co.) AN has sensizyme which is the same shit basically but prob more exp dont know. Cannazymne too exists I believe.

And if you want to see crazy happy plants use the enzymes in every watering. I apply the EA/EN once every 21 days.
