I should add that there are some good photos in the DIY thread.
If I ordered the Tea brewer with the amendments(the $300 package). How long will amendments last in storage? I may not use them for six months but just want to have them there when i do need them.
Well, it looks like ill need it sooner then I thought. Ill need the tea to cook my soil.
I do like to hit my soil with an ACT application after mixing to speed up nutrient cycling.
I agree 100% with this. The excerpt from the book pasted earlier is not correct information in that mycorrhizal spores do not germinate nor grow in compost tea (with current science). The spores need to contact your roots to be effective. Mixing it in your tea is mostly a waste of time and $. Apply the spores to your roots at planting time.
So how do you go about doing that exactly? Just spray a top coat or spray it in while mixing a second time.
So what is the best type of spores for cannabis?
Not sure exactly what you're asking, but in regards to mycorrhizal fungi. You don't add it to tea and you want glomus intraradices or glomus mossae.
MM has listed some options in the past from Premier or Mykos from RTI is a cheap option with a lower spore count though.
I had not meant to add it to the tea. I meant to add the mycorrhizal fungi to the soil mix. After reading part of this thread I figured that was the best way. Ill have to do some digging on Premier and Mykos.

With Mycorrhizal / VAM there is no point in adding to a Tea, water in or mix in to your substrate, soil or coco as early as possible (as soon as you have roots) , it takes a couple of weeks for the roots to become inoculated and you need to Keep your P below 50pmm or the VAM will go back to "sleep" so best used for Veg
Premier and Mykos have very low spore counts per gram there are much better products available from the States and Europe with 500 spores per grams with added N fixers & Phosphate Solubilizers & Potash mobilizers @ 5x10*10/gram

Nah - you just end up with scabies
