I know when you mix phytoplankton strands eventually one strand out competes the other until there is only 1 strand left but I was curious if anyone knew how long that would take? I only ask as I have been putting my phyto into 64 oz mason jars to use with my pods and rotifers and I was thinking to do 1/4 of each strands into one jar so I could just pour one jar vs four. I typically use the bottles within a week.
