WHAT IS IT...Beneficial Mycorrhizae/Soil Inoculant

Mycorrhizae, a powerful fungi inoculant, is one of the largest and most important lifeforms on the planet! Plants need beneficial fungi and bacteria.

Mycorrhizae attaches itself to the root giving it hundreds of thousands of new access points for nutrients and water to be absorbed, as well as the ability to store 7 days of reserve. The fungal filaments, translocate and store deficient nutrients to distant parts of the soil where nutrients may be lacking; allowing growth to continue. The fungus is fed by the plants simple sugars; while fungus supplies P, K and other nutrients and even water to the plant; a true symbiotic relationship.

HOW + WHEN TO USE IT...• Lightly sprinkle on roots during transplant to reduce stress• Use when any nutrient toxicity / deficiency or pH issue is present• Sprinkle slowly into reservoir to spread spores into soil for further inoculation• Fungi will not activate in water only; it needs to make contact with roots to be effective• Aeration will extend the suspension in your reservoir

HOW IT WORKS...• Fungal hyphae transfers nutrients and communicates with the local media environment to create a network between separated roots & plants; sending enzymes & nutrients to the root that needs it via hyphae exchange network• Attaches to roots allowing much more surface area to absorb nutrients and water• Black or grey colored mycorrhizae has a higher chance of contamination. Our Fungi is grown in a lab, where great care is put into species and propagule control.• Woody stemmed plants are more fungal dominant• Fungi grows in size when introduced to the root zone. It reaches its peak with higher soil food web diversity..• Balances nutrients needed & not needed in the root zone• Allows plant to grow to genetic potential• Fights root rot, pythium, and other fungal infections• Balances pH in the root zone• Reserves and holds onto nutrients for 7 days• Helps aid in the uptake and delivery of nutrients

COST PER DOSEHOW MANY GALLONS RESERVOIR DOSAGE

PRO TIPS...• Use in early veg to establish FUNGI and plant relationship.• Start to use higher dosages when plants (apical meristem) have stopped stretching in fruiting / flowering stage.• Think of Mycorrhizae like an Aspen tree network. Once the system is in place, the organism continues to grow. Diversity is more important that propagule count.• To pre-convert propagules into spores, add to 40% com- post, 40% oats, 10% biochar and 10% alfalfa meal or mulch to a large tupperware with lid sealed. Store in a warm, dry place. Wait 4-6 days before opening. There will be a layer of white fuzz (Santa's beard). This is your living mycorrhizal network. Top dress ¼ cup per plant or throw into teas!• Slowly sprinkle into solution or onto rootball in close proximity. This will reduce transfer into the air. The less distance the powder fall s= less poofing!• DO NOT INHALE! WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWARE!

BENEFITS...• You will see larger fruit sets within 2 applications in a side by side. Works acceptionally well in living soils!• Certain strains can be bacterial dominant leading to stretching and heavy nitrogen uptake. Increasing fungal dominance is a great way to make plant stems more woody and slow down apical meristem growth. • Allows more phosphorus, potassium, sugar and nutrient uptake to occur. • Helps to conserve water.• Works symbiotically with bacteria, media and water • Great for encoouraging more root filiments/ hairs
