I may change my rating of 4 stars in the future, but right now I can't say much because I just started my culture today (March 16, 2017).The reason I only give it 4 stars now is 3 fold.1] The powder seems to be simply an apple cinnamon instant powdered oat packet, maybe with something else sprinkled in.2] The cups are frosted and not clear like I wanted, which maybe good for fruit flies, but I like to see clearly what's going on inside.3] The lids are drilled with micro holes but I wanted fabric mesh with large holes to breathe.I will follow up this review when I learn more. I want to see if his culture breeds more than my homemade culture.I put a lot of love and attention into my homemade culture, so lets see the results in a couple of weeks and I willget back to you.Follow up #1:The lids do not fit the cups without applying a lot of pressure.I bought this kit for the 10 cups and lids and to try out the culture.So far, the cups and lids fail the test of being nice.The lids require so much pressure to close that you might crush the cupwhile doing so.I'm going to lower my review from 4 stars to 2 stars because of this.The 10 cups and lids are now a big problem to me with this product.I will follow up later with the results from the culture.My review may climb back up to 3 stars, but never 5 because of these cups and lids.Edit 3/27/2017: My fruit flies love this mix.This stuff is simple and easy.I am getting both Meloganaster and Hydie reproducing in this mix.In separate cultures.I give it 4 stars now because the mixture is nice.I don't like the cups, but maybe you will.
