I put about a 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per gallon. I don't know if it truly makes a difference but the plants don't seem to mind it at all. I put it in just ph'd water and use it when they first sprout and I water with an eyedropper around the outer edges of my peat pod that my sprout is in.
I also use molasses. About 1 teaspoon per gallon. I grow in soil, usually
Happy Frog. I add molasses about every two feedings, but I am far from an expert grower.

Neither am I haha, i personally wouldn't advise using any ph as indent k ow too be sure if it will actually effect the microbial activity. Even too an extent with some products you have too se chlorinate the water before using certain products not too effective the microbial activity-
Atm I'm trying a full on organic I've only used powders and these rooting powders that's it.
But I've heard using great white with products ts like beetle grass or bat guana growell the plant crazy
Yh that's fact with other products you have too add a carb product too feed the microbes. Great white has some carbs already in it.
Just my 2 cents too another grow bro.

Great White is a decent product but it's not a great value for growing cannabis. There are better sources of the particular endo species of mycorrhizae (a fubngi) that works with cannabis and most garden vegetables. The other species that Great White (and many other brands) includes is a sales ploy - they have NO relevance to cannabis and are used to impress uninformed consumers. The highest spore counts (of the relavent species) I've been able to find in my research comes from BuildASoil (their micronized mycorrhizae product) and Wallace WOW. Both are like Great White on steroids. Nothing wrong with GW at all but you're paying a premium price for a product full of useless species and a relatively low spore count of the ONE species that helps you. If you want to learn about myco I suggest listening to some interviews with Jeff Lowenfels. KIS Organics has some great ones on their podcast - also available on YouTube. LOTS of misinformation out their and companies are taking full advantage of consumers' naiveté.
Myco doesn't make your roots better or healthier or whiter - it's its own fungal body that, while invisible to the naked eye, grows in the soil and works as an extension of the roots it's attached to. The myco network gathgers and delivers nutrients (particularly P) to the roots in exchange for exudates. The only reason it can benefit your roots is as a part of an overall healthy medium.
What medium are you growing in? Organic soil is where I've seen the biggest response to myco and ONLY when the plants are inoculated very early. I introduce myco to my sprouted seed tap roots and at every transplant. It MUST come in DIRECT contact with a root or it simply WILL NOT work. Watering it in is about as inefficient a method of introducing myco as there is; not withstanding all the products and commonly used practices. The science proves it.
I don't use any "rooting" products but I use every method I can to introduce and maintain biology in my organic soil. That's the key to EVERYTHING when growing organically - you feed tyhe microbes (not the plant) and let the microbial life feed the plant. The more biologically active the soil, the bigger my root ball and the healthier the roots, ime. Compost teas, Insect frass, Recharge, Rootwise and OG Biowar are ALL great sources of biology. I also feed my biology with things like ground malted barley and extracts. I have crappy water and yet I have quit pHing anything because a biologically active soil that's balanced in nutrients will self adjust in the rhizosphere and pH isn't a concern any more.
This is a 30,000 foot view but it's a very deep rabbit hole. Hope this helps a little and peaks your interest. LOTS of great info out there....if you go do the research.

Your absolutelycorrevt I seen no advantages in using mycos myself.
move seenbgreat white work by making more roots and helpingvtte plant protect against viruses and mould etc. This is a good insurance back up solution for the roots.
Yes and your certainly right the biggest point is no matter what you if you don’t feed the actually microbes too grow there will be litter or bone microbes too actually eat the organic food
yes I’m sohum soil. So far it’s ok but I would t rate it the best soil, it drys too quick In certain places and doesn’t hold water very well.
In my old growing I amended only nettle frass and water with fish emulsion and sugar beet. I fed the microbes that well I had bushes.
When it comes too organic the soil is the foundation and a lot of soils be actually be sterilised before being packed.probably killing most of the microbe life
Have you seen green house feeding powders. They actually create loads of fungus spores while it starts working. I might actually try there bloom bio powder.
I’ve added myko
Great white
Bettle frass
Bat guana
last product too kick it all will be actually feeding all thease microbe packed things with some fish emulsion and molasses. In my case sugar beet. Only then we will see the magic happen.
But Yh I’m going too look into recharge and by a small tub. The more biology the better.
A lot of products thease days have good marketing lol they tell you half the story.
mans usually the good ones are not famous enough which is strange
