Here are some Down to Earth microlife inoculates
Microbial Life in Bottles
You can get Great White online at:
http://www.americanag.com
from American Agriculture, and it is free
shipping in the USA. One of the big concerns in TLO growing is that the mycorrhizal (Myco) fungus is
alive and viable, so I don't mind paying a little money to get a high quality Myco fungus. If you are using
freshlivingearthwormcastingsand/orarerecyclingyoursoilmix,thenyouhaveawholebunchofbenefi-
cial bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa already present in yourliving soil mix. However, youalways
need to add the Myco fungus, and I use Down to Earth brand granular Myco fungi with both the Endo and
theEctoversionsoftheMyco.IdothisjustincasetheEctodoplayaroleinthegamewithcannabis,even
though it is widely accepted fact that cannabis uses the Endo type of Myco fungus only. I just like to have
my finger in both pies.
The Great White is a high-quality microbial amendment, and I have never even heard of any not work-
ing great. It is a tad expensive, but worth it I think. The Great White has it all: bacteria, fungi, and Myco
fungi. The American Agriculture website (above) is a real handy place for me, and I source several things
fromtheremyself.IalwaysliketobackmyselfupwiththeMycobyusingboththegranularversion,which
I place right under root balls during transplanting, and using a soluble version about 10-15 days after any
