Spirulina instruction video

[Pieter]

In case you are interested in growing algae for superfood check out my latest video:

In cooperation with the national broadcasting association VPRO I've started a new YouTube channel on DIY making. It's in Dutch only for that reason, but I am sure most of you are clever enough to understand it.

We do the recordings in our Open Wetlab and Fablab, so it is going to be a mix of Maker and DIYBio topics. Next saturday -> the next video

We're actually a small group in Biologigaragen in Copenhagen who've just started trying to grow Spirulina. Your video looks like, it could have been a good inspiration, but unfortunately I don't think any of understands Dutch (though maybe we could be able to deduct some moves from it regardless).

I'm curious on where you got your starter culture from. It was actually more of a challenge for us than we expected to get something without having to pay quite a lot, and we've experienced vendors who only wants to sell on the conditions that we can't redistribute it.

Best,
Bue

I've heard/seen that there are growers on Hawaii, (the big island), that have been selling to the health food people for decades
and have a steady flow of fresh dried spirulina. If you asked them, they would probably toss some freshly dried spirulina in an
envelope for you. If not too old, it probably will just revive when wetted. Try looking them up and sending self addressed
stamped envelopes to all of them and see what happens. Contact me if you want help with the USA postage stamps.

I ran into some issues trying to grow this stuff with Jacob Shiach half a decade ago. We doctored a soluble nutrient mix from miracle grow, but it had some unlisted algaecide ingredients that sabotaged the project. I will note that Spirulina is the wrong genus, it's Arthrospira that has the cyanobacteria you want to eat. I think the A. Platensis and A. Maxima live cultures were ordered from Carolina biotech, but home algae growth has gotten trendy enough that there's cheaper sources all over google.
