Hey guys, im having problems with the Hydei cultures i made last week, I started using a different media recipe and it works great. The one i used before had too many organic ingredients and would always mold. Now im using a recipe that someone told me on this site but i don't know exactly how many ingredients to add.
It was working great for the first couple months but i think i screwed something up this time i made them. This is the recipe i follow;
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups brewers yeast
Mix 2/1 water to vinegar
2 cups potato flakes
2 tbsp cinnamon
I also microwave the excelsior and the cultures and then put the bakers yeast on afterwards.
I only make 4 cultures every 3 weeks so I add less then 2 cups because i don't need any more. The last times i made this media, all of the fruit fly cultures were thriving but the 4 i have now is more then 2 weeks old and all of the fruitflies and larvae are dead.
Can anyone tell me the correct measurements for this recipe, I also need to know how much water and vinegar you should add to 1 or 2 cups of this media. Thanks.
