This 940.6 Gerry (2003 Haist X 1200 Adams (2145 X 1495)) has been growing since...

Yup. 10-28-25.
It was Jiffy Seed-Starting Mix, Natural and Organic with MYCORRHIZAL INOCULANT, Bio Grow Endo Plus from Holland's Land O' Giants, lol,
mixed in when it was sprouting time, 2025! The BGEP is about 4 years old to begin with, butt if I look at my seed experiments, I know I can see the fuzz and the filaments collectively; SO, it remains effective for a very long time if it is used and then dried out and maybe even frozen, etc. I don't have a microscope, but I know it's there. I simply put failed or no-longer-needed sproutings in the freezer, snap them off the next day and toss in the trash once that plant is no longer needed.
I keep the cup and SS Mix and use it for anything I want, then. In this case, a test, for some reason, in October, of the 940.6. eg

This must be the first pic of it once I had transferred it from one light to the other.
I miss reaching for the light knob and having to gently push a leaf outta the way, lol.
It seems to be growing at like a 1/2-inch-per-day rate butt who knows. eg

This is it as of yesterday.
I had been watering randomly into that little plastic cup with regular-strength (1TBSP/GAL H2O) Expert Gardener
24-8-16 since this plant was able to cry and just yesterday switched to Miracle-Gro 10-52-10 to severely initiate blooming and a PUMPKIN to begin forming, lol. Lighting is completely random, from a 14-watt LED Walmart Great Value Bulb; I have aspirations to get a 4-pack of 200-watt-equivalent bulbs for ALL lighting, even for ME. I doubt VERY much that it'd be doing even this well without Mycorrhizae as a key soil component. It is forming plenty of males all over it. Time to party! eg

More experiments!
Ha ha, I wish it were a 5-gallon bucket, butt it's a prescription bottle. The cap has been kept on and slightly loose to avoid dehydration, being on such a small scale...ha ha.

Graphic growth in effect, lol;
This is about a 1/2 TBSP. Bio Grow Endo Plus with a 166 Gerry seed that was placed into it to fend for itself
with 1/2 TBSP. of H20 as well, the idea being to see how well a seed will grow with nothing butt Mycor!
I DID pick off the seed coat and chop it up a bit and toss it in there for the Mycor to feed upon.
Further ideas are that the terrarium effect will recycle the H2O enough to live and let live;
In any event, I'm happy with the growth rate and the roots a-rootin'! The Mycor is I believe adept at
producing glomalin, which sticks soil particles together with many wondrous benefits. It was clear that it
had coated the Mycor (Bio Grow) soil granules to exhibit a 'glossy' texture. So, I knew it was working.

Here's the method I used for when I wanted to create a 'balloon' top for the prescription bottle;
Some Giant Magic Marker from Dollar General and I carved out the inner material of the bottle cap.
Lucky I have fingers left, lol. Then, simply shoving the Saran Wrap up through and using the 'neck' of the
marker, I was able to use my box cutter to just go around it and cut it off, to-size. 4-5 more and I'll be good at it, lol.

Too long-winded to explain, butt you get it.
This can probably be used for any-sized container project, although by THAT size and time,
well, season to taste, lol. eg
