The visit went well and according to plan.
So now you have to count how many buds you have on each plant and check how may are left when the girls have visited!
Yes, it's technical. It's an experiment, so it has to be. Let me explain what the creatures I use do.
Endomycorrhrizal fungi are fungi that grow hyphae into the roots of the plants and creates an endosymbiosis. The fungus absorb nutrients and pass it on to the plant roots. In return, the plant feed the fungus sugars. The result is strongly increased nutrient uptake, as the tiny hyphae generates an enourmus absorption surface, as well as stimulating the plant roots to grow further.
Trichoderma harzianum another fungus thst is probably more usefull outdoors. It is a very aggressive species of the genus
Trichoderma; it outgrows most other fungi and kill pathogenic organisms in the soil.
