I would guess the answer to that would be reinforcement. From what I've read it take about 3 weeks for a Myco spore to germinate and latch on to a root. As the root system grows, I would think it wouldn't hurt to add more spores to the mix to encourage new colonies to form ASAP. I guess also that it would depend on the condition of your soil to begin with, whether it's healthy with bacterial life or dead as a doornail.
