Also just purchased some great white, as mentioned by leathal_traps... Am I suppose to mix it in water solution and flood the pot, Or do I take out the root parts and dip it into the powder? Online it has both methods but did show results, just want to know what works best. Thanks for your help guys

Just flood from the top with recommended dosage. Think I suggested that on someone's post here already. The plant will benefit from great white a whole lot.

Is it a one time thing or everytime I water it should I apply it? Or how many times a week?

My great white came with " Directions From Manufacture: Treat each plant site with approximately 1/2 gram (approx. 1/4 teaspoon) using direct contact with roots during transplant, or treatment of soil. Soil treatment can be performed by mixing powder into the soil, or mixing a small amount of water with the required amount of powder and drenching the soil with the liquid mixture. Re-treat each plant site by using either soil treatment method 2-4 weeks after the initial application. Note: use protective equipment as needed (glasses, gloves, and dust mask). DO NOT USE in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide."

Make sure you mix it up real well before or it will all settle to bottom of the mixing container.

I also did my first ceph cutting a few weeks ago.The way I did my ceph cutting was that I put it in rooting powder and then into a sealed bag of water. It started to grow and then I put it in a pot of LFS with a bag around it. Im afraid of dropping the humidity as the new growth is all leaves and no roots yet.

Say free shipping and the smallest one is 10 dollars
On the great white webpage they have sample packets for 5-7 dollars if you don't want to buy a lot

Best to at least ask before you give up. Also this website ( https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/trichoderma/ ) but I don't know what species it is and looks to be just trichoderma. Great white has a lot of other things as well. You can begin with that is it's too much to get great white from that eBay seller.
