Here's 5 different plants I'm experimenting with different starter soils. The plants are 5 days old.
From left to right
1st plant has the biggest root system it's planted in Miracle-Gro I added Mykos and rolled oats and watered it with molasses. I let the soil set covered and in a dark warm spot for a week . The soil grew a white fuzz on the surface and though it. The reason I added the molasses and oats was to try and grow my own mycorrhizae (something I read online). I planted 4 kin plant in the soil and grew them for 2 weeks. After the two weeks I cut the plants off and tossed them and mixed up the soil and inoculated roots and reused it for this plant.
2nd plant is the same soil mixture as the first except I didn't grow a pumpkin in it. I just add the soil oats water and molasses and let it sit for a week.
3rd plant is Miracle-Gro with some Mykos add.
4th plant is growing in Miracle-Gro
5th plant is growing in Pro-mix
