@Burned Haze , @Glow, @3 balls --just so we're all clear, i'm a chick. @Rootbound has me straight up flirting with him in public! sorry but that shit just kinda swept me off my feet....:ninja:
Hey, no value judgements from me.

I believe what he meant is the use of beneficials in hydro. by practice growing and nurturing a microbe population in the rez. It used to be folks thought hydro could only be successful by keeping a surgically sterile enviro. But time and research has shown that this isn't the case. I will divest and allow @Glow to elaborate more. He is more knowledgeable than I.
oh wait--is fungus used? or just bacteria? my little head keeps thinking mychorrizae needs a particulate to bridge the bond to the root, but what do i know?!?! how cool to learn something soHey, no value judgements from me.

Generally speaking it depends on what media you are growing in that will determine the best bennies to add to the system. Fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum and viride have emerged as very efficient biocontrol agents. Bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens are also very efficient bioinnoculants. So both beneficial bacteria and fungi exist.
Oh and mychorrizae - Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF or AM fungi) - are great in soil but tend not to colonise well in high inorganic P and N environments so their use in hydroponics where high inorganic P and N is present makes them less than ideal (for hydro).
