Mycorrhizae in the wild

[hecno]

Right you lot , Mycorrhizae fungi in the wild , now I am led to believe it is every where in the wild , I have done a lot of searching on google about it and understand fully what it doe's , but what I need to know .
oh missed a bit - I am getting ready a 4 hole plot for a photo grow later on in the year , min hole size 130 ltr .ok so as you will see in the photos I have heaps of trees around me ,so will my plants take in the fungi or will I still have to introduce it as the fungi is not in direct contact with the roots or will the fungi travel to the roots ? .

Afaik mycos are not everywhere in soil, thats why they gotta be mixed into the soil mix you put in your holes.
Don't get me wrong, there might be mycos in native soil, but not necessarily in usable amounts for canna plants. There are also other fungi and other microorganisms in native soils, it's a battleground for living space.
I think the safe bet is to add mycos in a hummus rich soil and just wait them to make allies with your plant's roots -> big plants! ..think about supporting them in flower.

Nice spot and holes(and doggy you got, what strains will you grow there? Isn't it a bit late(?), here in the northern hemisphere spring is just around the corner(almost).
I hope you don't have winter at your latitude, might be worth trying some local wild sativas if you have them Mullumbimby madness comes to mind

Thanks for the reply Balarama , I will buy some and add to the soil I am making , and I will be growing photos , I have some Incredible Bulk I should use up but I am thinking Satori by mandala seeds - or Gold Leaf from ILGM . I will plant in August after 6 to 8 weeks veg under lights , I use a sun tracker and google earth have a sun shadow add on so I can tell what time the spot is in shadow and it works out August - September - October - is spot on .Also mostly sunny sky and not to hot . oh and thinking of slipping some Autos in as well .

Hi Hecno, nice spot you have. How will you control animals from grazing on your plants? Will you have a fence?

Yeah what animal is your nemesis up there hecno ? My main one here is bandicoots digging up the roots, especially if you have worm castings in there, they smell that and go digging for the worms. I usually a find few soccer ballish size rocks and surround the stem to stop them getting in there. This works well. Wallabies & Roos can be a problem if it's dry, they seem to like young green weed but once it gets bigger and if it's been wet, then don't seem to touch them. I sneak onto a cattle property too and have had some cattle damage as well, again when it's dry. They only take one bite it seems and then lose interest, but that one bite is like a great white sharks "inquiry"...much damage for a taste test lol. A fence would be good to keep all out but I don't like having things in the bush that scream "look at me" lol, defeats the guerilla tactic. I just play the percentages and take the good with the bad peace

Landmines . big bad guard dog , motion sensor to guide laser zapper , and if that fails a wire fence . main problem is the bloody scrub turkeys , no hoppy things , but I am going to see if I can get hold of some old nylon fishing net , it is what we used many years ago in NZ to stop the possums . plus Vas it is in my back yard , but what I will end up doing is caging each one in wire .

Swwweeet man so ya wanna harvest local microdudes eh?? cool you can start here. look for your healthiest or repaired trees and patches of lush growth but not a lot of under growth rot..should smell failry sweet when lightly raked or brushed away and 20-30 days later depending on microbial activity and a few varying things you should have enough to grow your own for whatever purpose you need as is this concentrated batch suggests.Myself and medi(uncertain of his results atm) did this and after a cpl tries I got it.too cold to do it now for me but if your in decent weather yer golden!!
