Plant Growth Activator

Has anyone tried out a product called: "Plant Growth Activator Plus" made by Organica?

The product description says this product contain beneficial bacteria and fungi that aid roots in absorbing essential nutrients.  It's organic, and not toxic.  It is also supposed to reduce transplantation shock, and helps roots recover more quickly.  It's a powder that you mix with water, then drench the root zone.

I use similar products, from fungi.com mostly. Did not hunt down the list of species in your product but I bet it is fine. Figs associate with endo-mycorhizzal fungi so any ecto types in the mix will be wasted on them, but would work on other types trees if you have any.
I read an abstract of a study testing different species of endo-mycorhizzal fungi and fig tree growth and it was a favorable result with all they tested, but the best species from that study does not seem to be used commercially yet. Having several types of endo in a mix is good because some will do better than others based on things like ph and temperature. I have raised and identified G. intraradices on my first fig. Promix Ultimate Organic comes with the spores added already and the straw mulch I used on top of the container provided a good environment for the mushroom to fruit. I was super stoked.

Hydroponic supply/Marijuana growing stores sell all kinds of tonics, and other things that "boost" plant growth.  I wonder if any  use the endo-mycorhizzal fungi that you mentioned.  I'll do some homework, now that I know what to look for.

Thanks for the information.  Interesting.
