Hawaiian Spirulina in a Nutshell

Exactly. Pics don’t really do it justice. You just have to do a side by side with and without spirulina and see for yourself.
If anyone’s interested I just initiated this season’s first spirulina dose at the onset of flower(this week) in my Ethos Pluto Autoflower Outdoor grow.

I totally get it.
believe me. I was just as frustrated with my laptop failure.
BUT…. Since we are here why don’t you humor me this and watch my unfolding spirulina-grow.

I’d laugh too but…
This is real. The Hawaiian non-edible spirulina is in a Class of its own.

oh Thank you.
Well of course.
It is such a travesty that I cannot upload my imagery of the side by sides I’ve already done. And again you’re right. This silly little thread is so worthless without almost virtual reality.
I’ve done far too many side by sides whilst still living in Cali. Where I took cuts from the same Mother, placed them in three different living and/or flacid soil types. I did them in 3’s.

These exhibit very clear differences! They always do. You can archive-search “Side-By-Side” and you will get such a plethora of information.

Quest be with You!

This is NOT common human-edible Hawaiian Spirulina. This came off of a famer’s market table that was boasting huge printed entitlements to gargantuan fruits. Thus, my Beautiful girlfriend bought it. It really does!

I got 63 pounds of tomatoes off of one Brandywine.

The side-by-side fed me enough towant to tout it’s prominence.

Yes! PICS…
These are from my old threads in Hayward, California. This is Loran Graham’s Silver Spur in my living soil using Kauai mined spirulina.

Nice to see Lorans work live on. Has anybody done any preservation work of his lines? I know Motarebel released his Longbottom Leaf but he had so many other winners that were shared thru out the community. Would be nice to do a preservation run and continue the positivity
he showed everyone.

Loran and I were standing next to each other at the 2017 Emerald Cup. Right about the time that his health was starting to tank.The following spring I sent him and his wife a small cache of my own heirloom vegetable seeds. Tomatoes, kales, vetch, cuc’s, eggplant, what have you. Two weeks later this package shows up in my mailbox.

He gave me his own personal Longbottom Leaf
Asgard
GG#4 x Chem 4
Silver Spur

I have Longbottom’s going right now as we speak. Asgard perished in the heat with some of my other lines. I did my best to keep them cool when I was travelling through Covid. I am hoping that I haven’t lost Silver Spur.

Time will tell.

At least pics of the beautiful girlfriend......

It’s one of those things that you just kinda have to see to believe. Spirulina is nitrogen-fixing yet isn’t entirely a source of nitrogen itself. Over the years I have enjoyed the novelty of looking at these beautiful spiraling buds. Spirulina tightens internode spacing and makes for some rather crystalline product in the end. My tomatoes respond to it too.

pics mean?
Exactly.
When I started this thread I did it with the intention of sharing my experience with blue/green microalga. What it somehow turned into was a “Show us pics or it didn’t happen” response mentality that can sometimes run rampant within these forum halls. Point being, I know for a FACT that the “pics or it didn’t happen” crew haven’t EVER used spriulina in any setting. The entire point if this thread was introducing this much over-looked gem that’s worked wonders for me and is worthy of exploration. I make my own probiotic/organic living soil and have for 33 years. Unlike those with their snidely comments that use bottled nutes I feed my plants fresh raw baby coconut water, fresh alove vera and stinging nettle dilutions intermittently throughout the cycle. I play with the SAR responses of my plants and blue/green micro algae are a fabulous hack. That, was the point of this thread.
