Great White, Recharge, and Dynomyco Compared

[@Bob-y4x1t]

You sure are posting a lot for how busy you've been! Awesome to see, looks like the perfect home size garden

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

All the content posted here so far is from my channel House Dad Life, the viewers there requested that the grow content be it's own thing. So as of right now these videos are just re uploads, once everyone moves over here I'll stop posting the grow content there. I'm also taking some time off which lets me catch up KZbin.

Recharge is not designed to be used like that. It's supposed to be a weekly compost tea.

[@easygrows2699]

Yes it is also an Innoculant, stop spreading false Information. As a gardener with 30 Years of experience plus studying the Cultivation of Ornamental plants in a German University for 3 years, i can assure you, a Compost Tea is made of the same stuff as these Powders, and all of these 3 products contain: Bacillus species, Trichoderma fungi, Myccorhiza fungi. Also people often confuse Trichoderma and Mycorrhizaes, they are different species of fungi, Trichodermas are parasitic and produce powerful enzymes which break down crop residues but also attack pathogens like Pythium, Fusarium and Rhizoctonia where as Mycorrhiza fungi is symbiotic, Endo Mycorrhizae attaches itself to plants Rootszones and Ecto Mycorrhizaes grow in Soil, both together build the fundamental fungi net which connects entire Forests.

Once plants hit the garden I did inoculate them all according to the recharge instructions. I didn't include it at the time because in my mind the experiment was done, I was just fixing my own curiosity. I did have footage of the end of year results which is why this reupload of this video included it. I figured it may help others.

@@HouseDadLifeGrowsthese are great tests . Please keep up the great work

[@bennielamb8911]

It would have been cool for you to have went organic and then also grew out for more than a few weeks, possibly in at least 3 gallons. I don't think the fungus kicks in for a while. Either way I love the comparisons. Keep it up!

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

Appreciate the feedback, this trial did continue into the garden, I didn't video it, because in my mind the video was done, I just wanted to know for myself. After seeing results it's why they got put into the end of the video on the upload, it was footage I could get.

[@MattG5050]

I've tried recharge a few times. I feel like the very first time I used it, I saw a noticeable improvement in my plants. But now it doesn't look like it does anything. I'm wondering how 'alive' the microbes in that bag really are. Great white on the other hand works very well. My plants always respond to it and show improvement.

[@easygrows2699]

Where are you from my Friend? If you can somehow get your hands on this product: Tyroler Glückspilze Mykorrhiza Soluble. You will be amazed. Ive tried everything in my 3 decades of gardening, nothing can compare to it.

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

There is a trial I have in mind but I'll have to wait until spring time, This way it's not hear say, it'll be video documentation.

[@megaflux7144]

no control? i use it in a layer on the hole that i repot in to, usually ill actually put the smaller pot in position in the new pot and fill and slightly pack around it then pluck it out, add the mykos, and then remove the plant from its little pot and plug it right in to the hole. never really thought of mixing it in to the soil itself.

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

For the most part, I just don't have the real estate to do a control as well. It might be coming in the future, I've been looking at what I can do in my grow room to make that happen. Thanks for sharing your method, I've done that in the past as well, I can say your method works well for me as well.

[@megaflux7144]

@@HouseDadLifeGrows yea youd really need like a flood and drain table to REALLY dial in things, even a gutter system (nft) i would assume the first plant in the gutter would get more nutes.

[@hiroyopoetker]

this was super great!

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it!

thanks 🤝

You're welcome!

Nice controlled comparison testing of soil microbial boosters. For you can hear talk and sales pitch but number one thing is results. Some look like nutrients lockout or nutrients burn. Ive notice with seedlings like tomatoes plants and other kinds they go though this yellowing or stage where they not so good phrase too where you think its anything and its not just the plant going through it phrase and no fertilizering or other things like PH the water for even PH water to low doesnt help it out either you got to ballance out the pot of soil. Just water it not to much.

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

In this case I know what happened. I was away at work, and my wife was busy, the plants got sooooo bone dry, they almost ended up dead, they were all lying flat and limp when one of us finally got to them. Amazed we actually didn't even lose one.

[@bpfsu]

You are testing Mycorrhizae, but you started with a substrate that contains mycorrhizae…..? Shouldn’t you have used something that was essentially sterile?

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

To get scientific you're 100% right. My ultimate goal is just to get solutions for the regular joe (me). If it works great in a sterile environment, but not with reused perlite, I know it's just not going to work me as an example.

[@zemexone]

My initial thought

[@BobD-yn3wj]

You need to run clones for this to be legit. Not to mention use the products as per direction. 👌🏻

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

Once planted in the garden they were all inoculated by mixing with water and watering them in, this part is not shown.

[@GreenOgreFarms]

You are using recharge wrong, it needs to be mixed with water. Did you not read the instructions?

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

[@Greek5425]

Where is the control group,meaning seed started plants without any inoculum.

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

I did this in a different trial and my space is limited to run one every time. It might happen in the future.

[@mikeyazzie5185]

Great test but you forgot the best one rootwise from build a soil. I tried all of them, rootwise for win

[@billy1503]

Rootwise and recharge are totally different products than great white and dynomyco. They should not be compared

[@siredelahaye]

Exaclty…it’s mycorrhiza vs compost tea 🤔 Atleast that’s what recharge, I’m not familiar with roots wise

[@billy1503]

@ Rootwise and recharge are microbial inoculants, great white and dynomyco are mycorrhiza.

[@Necroknix]

Heterochromia eyes, neat!

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

You got it! And with the right name.

[@notapplicable9312]

Neither of these effect the end product in any way period. therefore, it's all a waste of money...

[@HouseDadLifeGrows]

I have no horse in the race, I'd love to use nothing other than nutrients, but I have root problems without great white, so I use that.

[@notapplicable9312]

@@HouseDadLifeGrows I understand, I wouldn't eel good about masking the root issues your experiencing though. The Mycorrhizae products are pretty expensive, I bet we can solve you root zone issue pretty fast for less if not free. Are you in soil? if so, is it just a mixed like a super soil? Or fully composted? Organics take, ore that microbes and fungi to break down, the need moister heat and time before it should used be fully. First is pot size, never use a vessel to much greater than you're root size, you can pot up as needed, Try and inert mix like promix or coco coir and top-dress small applications of soil and water onto it. PH your water and test your run-off. Adjust your water PH as close to 6.0 as you can, and water till your run-off PH matches. Let it stand till its nearly dry but not dried out, before you water again (repeating the PHing process. You should be good to go full soil after the plant's vegetation reaches the volume of the size of the pot you're using.
