How important does everyone think it is to have myco in the seedling pots? If added during transplant do you think that is enough to make up for it?

Due to the shortage of pumpkin pro my first round of plants didn't get it mixed in with the pro mix and my second round did. Would that be enough to favor the second round over the first? I know I wasn't the only person affected by this.

Same here orangeneck. Some of my plants didn't get any when I planted the seed and some did. In my opinion it is probably fine to put it in the hole when you go to plant them out side. From what I understand it takes a bit for the myco to what they say germinate and become part of the plants root system. I am no expert on myco just what I have gathered from reading and talking to more experienced growers

I really wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
When the season is over dig them up and compare the root systems and you will have your answer.

shouldn't make a noticeable difference. you can always supplement with the soluble myco too.
