I've been using VSV, no adverse affects. NO3 is 0, PO4 near 0. Overall happy with the approach.

I think the idea is that strains of bacteria can become dominant and out compete other Bacteria in a closed system , certain bacteria use certain carbon sources so when one is plentiful often the other gets starved out So to say. By adding these carbon sources you'll hit a larger target audience and offer them equal chances to compete.

I think so anyways I've never really dabbled in vsv but mixing carbon sources and playing with the ratios is something alot of people are doing now adays and vsv or carbon dosing period is Def not new
