At the rate the little freaks are growing, your indoor plants will be down and cured and in jars. No worry about bringing 'em in then!
Yes I may have to bring them in for the winter.
I fed them again today the same strength as my veg tent. I did last week too there was no yellow tips so far.
decided to top the freaks yesterday to see if I could get som node growth action.

Yours look hungry like mine do. I have started giving mine full strength nutrients. I hope they green up. These are quite a puzzle, aren’t they?

Cal mag ya say?
I have to pick some up. I have been giving them some epsom salt but I think that is just the magnesium part. Maybe I give them some milk…
Yes, I’ve been giving mine full nutes too. Looks like they could take more even tho the stem is still quite small. I haven’t given them any calmag yet big maybe I’ll do that. I got some mycorrhizal inoculants but the directions say to use it at transplant. i really wanted to build a better root structure before I tried another transplant as the roots were hairlike thin when I did last time. Maybe there is some way to get some of this around the roots in the current pots?
Maybe Id make some holes in the dirt just try and get some of this down. Don’t want to destroy what roots I do have doing that tho. Then thought about melting it down into a tea perhaps with some warm water. This is what it looks like tho. Don’t know how that would work either maybe supposed to be time released. I may have to wait till next transplant or find something else. Until then, calmag it is

looks like some good stuff
WHEN AND HOW TO INOCULATE YOUR PLANTS
Posted by Guy Hyams on August 17, 2020Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial fungi that live in symbiosis with plants. In order for this symbiosis to take place, there must be direct contact between plant roots and the fungus. Below are some tips, tricks, and do’s and don’ts for using DYNOMYCO™ premium mycorrhizal inoculants and other mycorrhizal fungi products.
When to inoculate? The short answer is: the earlier, the better. Ideally, inoculate seeds or young clones, in order to capture the entire root right off the bat. Once the fungus inoculates the plant early on, it will grow together with the plant! Mix DYNOMYCO™ into your soil as close to planting time as possible, to minimize the effects of sunlight, humidity and the elements prior to inoculation.
Popping seeds? Make sure to apply DYNOMYCO™ in the soil mix right before those seeds are planted, ideally underneath the seed.
Cloning? If you clone using soil as your preferred medium, simply apply DYNOMYCO™ before placing the clones in the soil. Application rate will depend on the size of the initial pot in which you plant the cuttings – see label for a detailed application rate chart.
If you use Jiffy cubes or Root Riot cubes, you can inoculate upon your first transplant or use DYNOMYCO™ as a dip. Add a little water so that the granules break apart and the consistency becomes clay-like. Dip the cutting in the solution, coating it nicely and then place into the hole.
After the plants have established and you are ready to transplant, you can decide how you want to inoculate next.
Inoculating your media: What TO DO
The two ideal methods of working with DYNOMYCO™ are either by mixing it in the soil evenly or by placing it directly in the planting hole. Which of these methods you use depends on the amount of seeds/clones or plants you are going to be working with and the equipment that you use.
If you mix your own soil by hand or you have a cement/soil mixer simply add DYNOMYCO™ at the application rate desired for the number of plants and the size of the container they will be going into. If you don’t feel like mixing your soil, or don’t have the equipment or the time, you can add DYNOMYCO™ into the planting hole right before you transplant.
Inoculating your media: What NOT TO DO
Since mycorrhizal fungi are root dwellers that can be killed by sunlight, they MUST be in the soil, not on the top! Application of DYNOMYCO™ (or any other mycorrhizal inoculant) by top feeding is not recommended since the fungi could get killed off by the elements (sunshine, heat, UV rays etc.) Additionally, if applied as a top-dress, the fungi won’t be able to travel down into the roots where they are needed.
Another common mistake in the use of mycorrhizae is brewing the fungi in a compost or microbe tea. While it may seem to make sense to add the fungi to other microbes and brew them together, the mycorrhizal fungi do not respond well to brewing and should be added to soil separately.
Following these simple guidelines will ensure that your plants grow to their full potential. Trust us, they will thank you later.
It says to either mix it in the soil before transplanting or put some in the bottom and sides of hole at transplant. Does not give an option to top dress, or apply with water. I thought it would… perhaps I could slip some into the sides of the pot. Don’t want to disturb the tiny roots. I could run a knife around the edge and maybe add a little there.
I have always used it at planting and up potting
Coat as many of the roots you can with it.

yeah , to be effective it needs contact with roots and in the soil
you could just up pot them to a slightly bigger container and add the stuff then?

Well maybe I will try and pot up a little. Last time I did about three weeks ago I was afraid I disturbed the hairlike root system but it didn’t seem to hurt their rapid growth (haha I say that in a southern slow way for sure.) it wouldn’t surprise me to see some marigold buds show up on these haha the jokes on me… at least during the grow I learned new words like Mycorrhizal

Another product I forgot about is Teraganix EM-1. It is a microbial soil inoculant(like a liquid mychorizae). I think @WeedHopper is using it. I was for a few years but forgot about it. You can use what you buy in a quart bottle to make gallons more so it is economical. I just ordered some along with some bokashi bran for my next up-potting on Amazon. Never used bokashi bran before but I figured I would see how it is. It is supposed to be a soil builder though.
Yeah I use it every feeding.
I’ll look it up. I have only been using the fox farms trio and cal mag
