For those who are into organics; this is a simple one; thought I would toy around with it during flower. More as a bi weekly flush.
Some of the earliest life on the planet.
Cyanobacteria that live in fresh water, and can fix nitrogen.

Spirulina is a biomass of cyanobacteria that can be consumed by humans and animals. The three species are Arthrospira platensis, A. fusiformis, and A. maxima. Arthrospira species are free-floating, filamentous cyanobacteria characterized by cylindrical, multicellular trichomes in an open left-handed helix. They occur naturally in tropical and subtropical lakes with high pH and high concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate.

Spirulina thrives at a pH around 8.5 and above and a temperature around 30 °C (86 °F). They are autotrophic, meaning that they are able to make their own food, and do not need a living energy or organic carbon source. Like all protein-rich foods, spirulina contains the essential amino acid phenylalanine (2.6–4.1 g/100 g)


L-Phenylalanine is biologically converted into L-tyrosine, another one of the DNA-encoded amino acids. L-tyrosine in turn is converted into L-DOPA, which is further converted into dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline). The latter three are known as the catecholamines.

Phenylalanine uses the same active transport channel as tryptophan to cross the blood–brain barrier. In excessive quantities, supplementation can interfere with the production of serotonin and other aromatic amino acids as well as nitric oxide due to the overuse (eventually, limited availability) of the associated cofactors, iron or tetrahydrobiopterin. The corresponding enzymes in for those compounds are the aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family and nitric oxide synthase.

Phenylalanine is the starting compound used in the synthesis of flavonoids. Lignan is derived from phenylalanine and from tyrosine. Phenylalanine is converted to cinnamic acid by the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.

Thanks; I've spent enough on the efforts to get the photo's right. 😇 A little less glamour in this photo; but still pretty neat. Seeds are really cool too. Camera's make it simple these days; I've finally been able to afford a Pixel4a; which cost me nearly $300 I believe.

Pixel 4a+ or the Iphone 10++ are the ones to look for camera wise; it seems. The newer expensive ones are coming out with higher quality telephoto lens; which is where the tech is going these days.... ie. the pixel 6; or the Iphone 11's and 13's; among a few others. But most camera don't have it. Megapixels mean basically jack shit these days; anything 12MP or above; is certainly adequate.

Then comes the lighting; which is critical in all pictures.

PM me an address; I need to figure out a way to PM this; so I can group this information into one (private) thread; or a discussion; maybe there's a way I'm not seeing on the headboard already; and I'm just not seeing it.


PM get lost in my conversation feeds. Here we go.
What seed signup list is this and how do I get included? Kind of some Thai NY Water festival w/o actual water throwing by folk as b4 YK.
