I've also used the Humboldt Myco Madness and now have their Myco Maximum. Repeat treatments aren't necessary and in fact, are probably a waste. The fungi colony will only get as big as the root system and once established, will continue to live for years as long as food and roots are available. Besides what is available in the Pro Mix, I add an additional 1/2 teaspoon per 3 gallon pot when I transplant. Anything more isn't necessary. They can also be used in vegetable gardens as long as the garden isn't tilled. Tilling breaks up the colonies and kills them off. That's why many farmers have gone to no till methods of planting where they drill their seeds, rather than tilling and planting. Also, the use of chemical nutes can kill them off if applied in heavy doses, so if you use chemical nutes, go easy.

I use Humboldt Nutrients Myco Madness. Soon as I get a decent tail I sprinkle some in the plug before I drop it in there - about a pinch - then after covering it with dirt I water it lightly to activate the Myco. They won't activate until they hit water. After that I use 1/2 a teaspoon in a gallon of water once a week (you can mix with the nutes - if I do i put it in my mixture just before watering. I don't let it sit with the mixture overnight) or just with pH'd water. I don't use it the last 3 weeks of my grows. Also If you transplant or tier you can sprinkle the area where the roots will be with it and water it, then transplant. I have had phenomenal growth with my seedlings since using it. They are literally triple the size if not more at 20 days than my first 2 grows without Myco. I swear by it!! HN MM not only has beneficial myco it has trichoderma and other beneficial bacteria. However, I have heard great things about Great White. It's more expensive than the MM I've seen in catalogs. 4 oz tub of MM runs about $18 on eBay. Good stuff MSH! I'm sure you will LOVE IT!
Start using it right away and you will see instant results I promise you. It's not a nutrient so it won't burn your seedlings either.
