Whether you’re growing cannabis in your greenhouse or outdoors in a field, Mycorrhizae fungi will provide some essential benefits to your crops. Mycorrhizae fungi build a symbiotic relationship between significant fungi and cannabis, which is necessary for the survival and growth of the plant. It also helps the growers to maximize the quantity and quality of their yields.
Here’s how Mycorrhizae fungi can help your cannabis cultivation to reach the next level:
- High Nutrients: Primarily, Mycorrhizae fungi are used to widen the root surface area of the cannabis plant. Such an expanded surface promotes better penetration of water and nutrients. Additionally, the fungi can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers and thus, supports the natural growth of plants.
- Healthy Roots: A healthier root system will promote healthy, abundant, and fresh growth of plants. Therefore, maintaining a nutritive root system is vital for cultivating high-quality cannabis. And, Mycorrhizae fungi are effective in protecting the cannabis cultivation from root exudates and micronutrient toxicities. Plants with Mycorrhizae fungi form thick cell walls at the core, which increases resistance for pathogenic microbial diseases that occur within the soil.
- Higher Yields: When cannabis gets optimum nutrients and water, it will produce abundant yield naturally. Mycorrhizae fungi can act as a growth-booster for cannabis plants, especially if they’re grown using inferior quality seeds and low fertility soil. Just make sure that you infuse these fungi in the soil or directly on the root of the cannabis while transplanting.
- Reduced Stress Levels: Stress levels in plants are generally caused by factors such as unfavorable environmental conditions, inappropriate use of the substance, or overuse of pesticides. Such stress levels in a cannabis plant affect its metabolism, reproduction, and root development. In such cases, mycorrhizae fungi can build high resistance membrane in the cannabis that’ll ultimately reduce the stress level while making the plants healthier.
- High Resistance To Transplant Shocks: While relocating the cannabis plant, there are chances of transplant shocks which can drastically affect the plant’s health. In such cases, mycorrhizae fungi can be a real game-changer for the cannabis cultivators. It not only eases the transplant shocks but also circulates optimum water and nutrients to the new soil. Thus, increasing its chances of survival.
So Mycorrhizae fungi are essential elements for establishing secondary root systems, reducing stress levels, and improving the overall water and nutrient uptake in the cannabis plants.
