This is a photo of mine that Richard is speaking about, it will give you an idea of what these products are capable of in a short time.
I use it because it gives me an edge with my short growing season.

This plant has been inoculated with rooting hormone and a mychorrhizea enriched soiless mix .
I think the plant has been in the container for 60 days in zone 5/6.Untitled
