I was wondering if anyone knows any possible reaction of dosing with both vodka and VC at the same time? Should dosing levels be backed of when combining the two? I was looking at dosing 5ppm to start with the VC and peaking around 20ppm as maintaining a peak level of 50ppm of VC would be $$$ in my 300g system. I am at a maintance level of 5ml of vodka daily.

Both can be a carbon source. I'd probably experiment carefully if I choose to do either or both together. I wouldn't want to generalize from one tank to the next.

I started with dropping the vodka back to 2ml and started with a 5ppm of VC three days ago. already seeing more positive results than with just vodka alone. I am just going to keep it at this level for a couple 3-4 weeks and see what happens. i was lucky to be able to find the chrystaline VC buffered to 7.3 at the store a mile from the house. does anyone have a mixed carbon source recipe they use they would like to share?
