Arcadia supplements

[Nal0114]

Okay this is probably going to be a stupid question.

But for the feeding program earth pro A everyday on day 4 of feed are you guys mixing earth pro an and calcium/mg?

Same thing with D3

 

[Beman]

No, these supplements are already balanced. They are done in the specific 8 feed cycle due to how the supplements are designed and what they put in them.
EP-A is calcium without D3. They add bee pollen and carotenoids to it and that is it.
EP-CA is just plain calcium without D3. Nothing else added to it.
Calpro-mg is plain calcium without D3 and magnesium. Nothing else added to it.
Then revitaliseD3 is plain calcium without D3, Calcium with D3, Vitamin A, Magnesium, bee pollen, and carotenoids. This is your multivitamin with extremely low levels of D3 and A so your UVB lighting has to be 100% on point.

Okay so then on the day of the next feeding program your skipping the one that is to be done at every feeding?

Yes, whatever cycle day you are on you only give that specific supplement. This is why you really need to chart it on a calendar due to the 8 day cycle vs our 7 day week. Your supplements will rotate to different days of the week based on where you are at in the feeding cycle.

EXAMPLE OF EVERY DAY FEEDING SCHEDULE.

TUESDAY EP-A 1st feeding
WEDNESDAY EP-A 2nd feeding
THURSDAY EP-A 3rd feeding
FRIDAY Calmg 4th feeding
SATURDAY EP-A 5th feeding
SUNDAY EP-A 6th feeding
MONDAY EP-A 7th feeding
TUESDAY Revitalize D3 8th feeding
Cycle starts again from the beginning. BUT YOU START WITH THE NEXT DAY IN THE LINE WHICH WOULD NOW BE WEDNESDAY FOR EP-A

Got it thank you!

I was writing it on a calendar when I came to that intersection. I wanted to be sure before I wrote anything.

Yeah when I used them the only way I could structure it was to write it on a calendar. And it sucked because I had one cham on an every other day schedule but two others on every day feeding still. But the calendar was the only thing that saved me with this lol. But remember that day of feeding every single insect is supplemented lightly with that days supplement. Arcadia can coat a bit more then I like so just make sure you are shaking off the excess.

The structure of the supplements stays the same if you go to every 3 days feedings as well.

Let me know if you have any additional questions about these.

if I used a measuring spoon to measure out the powder what size spoon would you recommend?

 

[Nal0114]

If I were to dust using a measuring spoon, what would you recommend. TSP?

I would use these instead. Cricket Shaker Buy one for each supplement. Then you are not over dusting. Just use a plastic cup to pour the bugs through the circle opening on the top. close and shake them around in it. Tap off excess and then pour back out gently into the cup and feed off. I have the lid of each of mine labeled so I know which supplement is in it. Less waste and you do not risk over dusting or having excess that the cham will target.

I’ll have to go find one

Get one for each supplement. It will make it well worth it and save you time and money in the end.
