[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 106109, member: 2509"] Sorry. I missed this. Yes, I still use vinegar, but I found that there was no particular advantage in using cider vinegar with "mother of vinegar" in it. Recently, though, I have been afflicted by a really nasty mould that can start turning a culture medium black within 24 hrs, so currently, I am using the mix sold by Carolina, because it is more mold resistant. I did not find that any changes that I made significantly improved ff yield (mine has always been pretty good) and certainly it didn't "speed up" the hydei life cycle. If you make a hydei culture in which the pupae eclose earlier than usual, you have almost certainly got a culture contaminataed with mels! :D [/QUOTE]
