 Inoculation of mycorrhizae

Hello fine growers of the ganja goodness!
I have a question for the more experience outdoor grower.
This is my first outdoor adventure.
I will be inoculating my soil mix with mycorrhizae. I was wondering whether I should do this while my soil is sitting and I'm waiting to plant, or whether I should do this after I have planted my plants.
Thanks
kupo

I would innoculate at the same time you amend the soil in your outdoor plot; that way the mycorrhizae has enough time to spread through the soil.

YES! Thank you for answering because you bring up a NEW question..
My soil should be amended with my nutrient blend just prior to planting?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hopefully these questions will cover the rest of my bases..

Actually, you would ideally amend the fall before you plant (in the spring) as to give the beneficial soil micro-organisms time to break down the amendments to make them available to the plant. Many compounds such as bone meal and other organics require the activity of bacteria and fungi before they are usable.
