Mycorrhizae are mutualistic associations between plant roots and fungi. In mutualism, both the member of the relationship (the plant and the fungi) benefit from the relationship. In a typical mycorrhizae relationship, the plant transmits organic substances to the fungi, and the fungi transmit nutrients and water to the plant's roots. The fungi extends what are called hyphae into the soil which can extend the length of a root 100-fold and can increase root mass by as much as 800%. The hyphae also help absorb nutrients, particularly phosphate, zinc copper, and molybdenum. Certain mycorrhizae also form a protective sheath around roots, and can increase tolerance to drought, high temperatures, and infection by fungal disease.

There are tow kinds of mycorrhizae - Ectomycorrhizal, (Ecto meaning outside) and Endomycorrhizal (Endo meaning inside). Ecto sheath the host root, and penetrate between the cells of the root's cotex where as endo penetrate into the host cells. Some of the hyphae of the endo form abruscular mycorrhizae (AM) which are particularly helpful in phosphate absorption. Endo are the most common form found on plants.

Benefits from myccorhizae have been shown in all major plant families except mustard. Regular applications of these fungi has also been shown to boost yield and increase disease resistance in most crops. ]]> Advanced Techniques Blaze21 http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-techniques/177865-mycorrhizae-information.html http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-techniques/177801-air-layering.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:40:54 GMT does anyone have any experience with air-layering techniques on pot plants?

I have four really solid laddies that I topped in the middle of veg and have a really nice SOG. I am in the final flowering stages and am flushing and have a tremendous amount of leaves that are light blockers at a minimum. I did the fold back thing, but there are also a tremendous amount of colas and bud sites so you end up covering another. I read dont..but do, but dont ever...arrrrghhh. I also have a friend who swears that you cut away in the final stages of bloom. Once a few weeks in to bloom then a final one in the last few weeks. I know this is strain dependent, but there is a lot of leaf production in this strain. What does everyone think? This is my 5th successful grow, so I am not exactly new. ]]> Advanced Techniques villagebudman http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-techniques/177700-trim-not-trim.html http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-techniques/177545-using-potassium-permanganate.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:00:35 GMT I have heard if you apply potassium permanganate into the water you used to feed your cannabis plants that it will increase the purple content of your buds.

I have heard if you apply potassium permanganate into the water you used to feed your cannabis plants that it will increase the purple content of your buds. Is this true? If so does it effect the plant at all other then color?

On another note i was wondering if anyone could answer these questions for me.

Best soil to use?
Best first time grow strain? (I am not stupid, i would like to grow something i can truly be proud of)
Nutrients? What should i use to increase health and growth?
Best place to buy seeds?
Also recommend amount of light/watt ratio for 10 plants

they are now around week 9-10 and you can see the seed in the calyx although they are not splitting which i think may be a result of the strain. when i open them the seeds are green. ]]> Advanced Techniques phatsesh101 http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-techniques/177104-hey-rusty-question-bout-seed-maturity.html
