They called me psychotic.. i knew it as a 1/2 truth love was beyond showing.. 2 meanings to that.. heart was aching and overflowing.. i felt and saw her.. beyond the common senses, tears arent euphoric enough to describe what we felt when it was over the tears remain.. and more came.. when it was over i knew id never feel it again........ once in a lifetime on this plain.. what a shame we cant explain to our stupid brains and learn to maintain the gain from our pain yet we try to sustain through the loss of our.. sane thinking..

Dchiw your in a hightened space and a fly goes in your ear and you cant get it out.

But there does seem to be a lack of mentors and moderators for some reason. I love this place.

It's borderline, but I think it may pass according to legalities and self incrimination, but at the end of the day you could always just say Oh I read some literature that said this or said that. I dunno.

Dchiw you get a molar extracted...

Hey mate, yeah, the possibilities are endless. It definitely has a Super Pedro look to it, so that one were my very first choice if I'd have to pick one.

Dchiw you're all set to have a nice vape and the battery is flat halfway through warmup. Dagnabbit.

Growing spirulina at home
Tripyamine replied to Acacia's topic in Sustainable Technologies & Ethical Living
@Darklight spirulina can get to 2-2.5g/L and other stuff like nannochloropsis will only get to 1g/L (more if thin-film reactors). Also thats bone dry. I personally prefer nanno both taste-wise and nutritional content-wise, its an omega3 (EPA) production powerhouse, you can expect to see 25% lipid and of that ~50% EPA Both have good amino acid profiles too but iirc nanno is more complete being a eukaryote and not a bacteria like spirulina 5g a day of nanno gets you an RDI of lots of stuff, but it's more an adjunct than a meal replacement. one day we will get there but I couldn't only eat nori (tastes like) soylent green is soon with nanno you can grow out (from 1/5) to a dense culture in 4-5days, and if you harvest 80% so you can regrow straight away then your collecting 15+g a 20L bag/5 days. ~200L standing bags are the way to go, if you only yielded 100g it would be enough for a week. -

I think all my intensive algal culture course notes are electronic... Have to check back... But I can send em on to anyone interested after I get through my shit filing system. From outta Utas school of aquaculture when they were a powerhouse. It's focused from an aquaculture bent for fish food production , but all the principles the same. Hardest year long unit I ever did at unimostly micro but a little bit of macro algae. -

Darklight replied to Acacia's topic in Sustainable Technologies & Ethical Living
Wow. Just wow. Awesome, thank you so much! I knew nothing of these. What's the yield like for a domestic setup? Either per kg or how many single portion meals or meal additions you'd get per bag? This is now one of my one-day-I'll-get-to-it projects. Glad you got there first :D -

Isnt there anyone left here to moderate this forum??? isnt this thread against rules? I have mod rights, but I didnt think its right for me to do it, as I am not really a moderator.

I don't have much problem with scale. If I get it, I'll be hitting you up for info on what type of hose nozzle to buy. My main pest is fungus gnats (I think its that). No matter how much I let soil dry out, I get these little bastards munching on roots. So neem doesn't burn the cacti? I might give it a try. I've got a neem tree I need to repot asap, hoping to make my own neem oil one day.

Tripyamine replied to Acacia's topic in Sustainable Technologies & Ethical Living
Hmmmmm I have a nice starter if anyone wants it le PM me I really like bags to grow in for a small scale, it's very popular in the industry too. If you get a bad infection/contamination you can burn your bags and reroll otherwise you can just keep reusing them. We use Polypropylene bag rolls and seal them ourselves to the size we need, and then sterilize with 70% ethanol and UV It's a good rule of thumb to always do a 1:5 inoculation with any algae (1:10 if you can't help it) I'll grow up a 5mll culture from a stock or a plate, scale that up to 25ml, then to 100ml, then 500ml, then 2.5lt and then start a bag culture with 10L and gradually increase the volume to 20L. Then its too a big 100-200L bag like the one pictured and then to ponds/pools all the way up to 400kL ^^^these are easy to make ill get some photos of our ghetto ones arthrospira (spirulina) likes to grow under basic conditions up to like a pH of 10 so lots of media reflect this as its useful for keeping lots of the contam/bugs out. Some good info on making the standard media here but you might struggle with some of the chems, also good culture info too. http://sagdb.uni-goettingen.de/culture_media/02 Spirulina Medium.pdf Another good media to use that you can purchase heaps of for cheap as is Cell-Hi JW (should be around $40 for a kg that will make close to 1000L), you will have to google around to find a supplier as we make our own and haven't had to buy for a while. At the end of the day if you scale up slowly and use appropriate media it's pretty easy to do, Spira harvests very easy compared to some other alga, but chitosan always makes it better! Sparge with lots of air and give em plenty of light (outdoors is better than LED but cheap eBay grow LEDs will work fine just gets expensive >100L) -
Ypsilophora, ill take you up on the natives that sounds preemo for me! I'll put one established M. hirsuta plant on the table ;)

Yeah we've had evening showers quite a bit actually. I haven't been paying attention, but when you feel the call chances are somethings afoot I would expect to see flushes after decent falls for the next month or so easily. More than likely cubes only though. -
I'm shitting bricks.
