Root booster

[hermananian]

Root Nectar by Nutrifield is good stuff, but bottle says for hydro systems only.

 

I've got Great White Shark ,but doesn't chlorine , and is it cloromine ? Kills the stuff doesn't it?

From what I understand Great white shark root booster is  mycorrhizae and yes chlorine, chloramine kill it. I let my water stand for three days and it works a treat. I think It works well for me as I'm growing in coco and it just adds the beneficials  that are needed to help the plant take up the nutrient. It has so many positives that I wont grow without it.

Hermananian im still reading up about mycorrhiza im not sure of its relationship to fulvic acid!

From what ive read about root boosters today your better off using fulvic acid for the reason itchy explained!

Anyhow i will continue to read up on mycorrhiza but im not sure it will help me growing in mediams but it looks like a good idea gor outdoor doil preperation cheers!

myco is a fungus that attaches itself to the root system , it has a symbiotic relationship. it need the roots to be alive to live. the myco eats all the foods and nutrients in the soil directly and converts them into better foods for the root system, then the roots system feeds directly from the fungus , so the roots are indirectly getting a feed.

 

End story is the fungus gets fed, the roots get fed better than they were in the first place, WIN / WIN , 10 / 10 situation.

You got yourself a root booster.

 

Be careful with some chemical artificial (or some organic) root boosters too, they stop/slow/reduce vegetation growth of the plant for a week or more, your plant focuses on growing roots only.

Not saying the one you use will, just saying they exist.

 

Also the fungus (myco) that has the symbiotic relationship with the root system, acts as a natural pest control to rid annoying pests such as gnats.

I've not had 1 gnat since i started using myco in my pots with my roots.

 

I use endo myco. (abrv.)

Facinating stuff myco ecosystems would they work in coco coir recirc hydro set up!

I will give it a read but i only have basic knowledge and alot of wat ur saying is above my pay grade!

Although im going to look into these myco fungi some more as its extremely interesting stuff!

yea as for chlorine chloramine....

 

there is a product known as sodium thiosulfate.

I bought 250g of it for $20

 

anyway i add about 0.1g to a 250mL bottle of water.

2 drops of this gear in a 20L bucket of tap water and a stir with a stick... and all chlorine and chloramine disappears.

magic

used overseas for drinking water in poorish countries. they over use chlorine and chloramine to prevent disease, then use this product before drinking.

non toxic.

 

anyway you can buy it as a product for fish tanks from every supermarket for $5.

called water ager or something like that, literally says on the bottle removes chlorine/chloramine

 

I've used both if youre wondering.

Literally filled a 20L bucket w/ tap water, added 2 drops, stirred, then fed my plants 10 minutes later, myco stayed alive.

 

i try as a general rule to wait at least a hr but sometimes i gotta fly.....
