Yes black pots exposed to sun during a hot summer will kill many microorganisms. If the temperature outside is 35C, a small pot will have 50-60C in direct sun. It is actually better for the substrate to be dry rather than wet. A good strategy would be to reinoculate the small and medium pot before the winter.
A cheap method to increase the spore count is to grow containers with grass in the spring and inoculate them. Grass is easily colonizied, and by the autumn will will have many spores attached. Just simply take out the roots, chop them and mix them with the soil in the pots.
