Mycorrhizas are an effective tool for growing cannabis, which can be used to improve the health of plants and their yields. So what do the useful mushrooms bring? 1-Promotion of nutrient assimilation As the plant roots grow, they absorb the nutrients they find around them until they run low and the roots continue to grow to reach new, unexhausted areas of the substrate. However, if there is a symbiotic relationship with the useful mushrooms, the plant can use certain nutrients such as phosphate more efficiently. For the plants, this improved mineral supply also means increased growth capacity and a considerable increase in productivity. Therefore, mycorrhizas can also give you more lush harvests. In fact, of course, both sides benefit from this relationship, because while the plant receives nutrients and water, the fungus uses the carbohydrates and vitamins that the plant produces during photosynthesis. 2-increase the drought resistance of the plant The mycorrhizal symbiosis also increases the resistance of the plant to adverse environmental conditions, especially in dry environments. Several studies have shown that plants with such a fungal network can store water better, since the microscopically fine, dense fungal filaments (hyphae) initially get closer to deeper or deeper water supplies and then function like small water stores. This not only benefits the plant, but also the environment as such, since plants with mycorrhiza naturally need less water. 3-Protection of plants from dangerous pathogens In addition, the mycorrhiza forms a kind of protective layer, but also within the roots, which prevents pathogens from penetrating into the roots and settling in the plant. And even if some pathogens make it into the plant organism, they are eliminated again by a number of internal structures formed by the mycorrhiza. Therefore, this symbiosis can help you prevent diseases in your cannabis plants. 4-Improve soil structure and bind carbon deposits The more fungal hyphae spread, the more they "stick" to the soil particles and create structures in the substrate. The mushrooms not only contribute to the better oxygen and water supply to the soil, they also produce glomalin, a compound that is extremely important for the soil, since it is responsible for storing a third of the world's carbon deposits. This substance stabilizes the soil, prevents the carbon from evaporating into the air and can remain in the substrate even if the fungus dies. Mycorrhizas are also so useful for the environment because the fungi involved can engage with more than one host at a time, that is, their hyphae network can span several plants or trees of different species and thus ensure a good basic balance. 5-preventing the growth of other plants Some mycorrhizal fungi make it difficult or impossible for other plants to settle besides their host. This can also be used when growing hemp, so that no "weeds" sprout on the substrate of the marijuana plants. Today, it is easy to get some organic products based on these microorganisms, which are very easy to use and contribute to the development of the hemp plants. So mycorrhizal products are a hot tip to increase the amount and quality of your cannabis flowers. Happy harvest!

Hi there.. when the white pistils (actually it's the stigmas) are showing, then this means that the pre-flowering has happened, which basically means your plant has reached maturity and has shown the sex.. in the case of the sigmas it means it's a female. This does not yet mean that she's flowering. Especially in photoperiodic strains this is important, as preflower still happens, even when the plant hasn't been put into a 12/12 cycle yet. When the plant is put into 12/12, or if the plant is an autoflower and the flowering period begins (the first flowers start forming on top of the plant), they will first go through a stretching phase, in which some strains can get even 3 to 4 times taller than they were before. This is normal and most likely what confuses you now a bit. During this stretching phase it's best to still give the plant vegetative nutrients, as they are higher in nitrogen, which is something the plant still needs at this time. Only after the stretch has finished, and the plant fully focuses on creating and fattening up the buds, it's best to use the bloom-nutrients (which are high on P and K) as then nitrogen isn't needed much by the plant anymore. happy growing
