When I began using DIY Co2 I purchased 2 3-packs of yeast. One package was Fleishmanns "Rapid Rise, Highly Active" yeast, the other is Fleishmanns "Active Dry, All Natural" yeast. No reason I chose different kinds, they just happened to be sitting next to each other. Well, the first one I opened was the rapid rise. With a brand new bottle of sugar, water and yeast I'd have bubbles coming out of my tube within 1-2 hours, sometimes no longer than 15 minutes with a good bubble every second or two. Today I had to open a new package, and for no particular reason I just so happened to open the active dry. I made my bottle at around 11 a.m. and the Co2 is only halfway down the tubing..at 6 p.m. Is there really that much difference between the two? Is highly active that much more active? If it is, will this kind I'm on now give me longer production at the expense of bubble count? Perhaps the two could be mixed for longevity and production? The only notable visual difference between the two is the rapid rise granules are maybe twice as small as the active dry, if that makes any difference. I am hearing the fizzing in the bottle, so I know the yeast isn't dead.
Also, will the complete lack of Co2 today (water change day) cause problems for the plants or will the one day break not make too much difference?
Thanks for any and all help.
