Do you want to grow your own Super food Algae🤔?? Well, your in luck because this is our step by step grow guide on how we grow Spirulina in our mobile grow space alongside our microgreens!! The main goal is to monitor your pH and keep it between 10.5 and 11 and keep the temperature at around 80F!! Watch that water salinity too!! We aim to keep our salinity at around 2 using a BRIX meter.

Some of you may be asking, what exactly is Spirulina? And why would I consume that green stuff? Spirulina is a blue-green algae, used in ALL KINDS of products now a days. From various consumables such as powders for smoothies, chocolate and even added to some foods for additional nutrition. To Hair and skin care products and so much more... It is believed to be one of the oldest life forms on Earth, alongside Fungi and Lichen (moss). It was said to first be used by the Aztecs as an endurance-booster, spirulina is considered a superfood — an all-in-one source of nutrients including protein levels comparable to eggs. If you want to learn more about Algae, we highly suggest doing a good'ole Google Search as there are TONS of research articles on the health benefits that Spirulina offers.

Hope you enjoy it!!

    ***2/15/22 VIDEO UPDATE*** - Hey y'all! We've had a TON of people asking about our algae project from this video and how it's doing currently, so we wanted to give y'all an update! At the time of filming this video, we were really excited (obviously!) Everything was going wonderfully with our algae, then we transferred the cultures into new jugs, switched to new air pumps and sadly, the air pumps caused half of them to die from too much agitation... we also had a few new types of algae's show up in our batches, which rendered them unsafe as no longer had a monoculture... Luckily, we still have all of our supplies and are very eager to get back to Cultivating Algae again soon! It was so much fun learning about it and experimenting with new living organisms in our grow-space.

    Can’t wait for a Spirulina series. Amazing. You guys are really growing.

    Recommendation...Bobs Mill baking soda is food grade. Arm and hammer has heavy metals.

    Your infectious enthusiasm made my day. You are my favorite teacher. As a note of interest, our church presented a "prepared event" for our members and our family's assignment was to talk about food preparedness. Our microgreens and our solar oven got quite a bit of attention. We invited people to snack right from the growing trays and they liked them!!! They even ate the roots they pulled out of the tray. I think we've got something here. But you already know that. Thanks so much for enriching our lives.

    Waited ages for this. Time to get excited! Btw Algae can also be used to isolate. There is an architecture that uses an algae tank as a wall and uses its product as fuel. The science part in me is hyped! Triple tapping the like button - for science.

    I used to dissolve Sodium Carbonate for my Reef/Coral aquariums. Warming the water when dissolving it helps a lot to speed up the process! Just warm up the couple of litters where you dissolve it, then mix it with the rest of the colder water. I can't wait to see the filtering and drying process to extract that Spirulina. I hope everything goes well!!!
