so you have any swimmers roots????I got a microscope for xmas. The first thing I looked at was my own sperm(girlfiends request) then it was onto my LB. It's been in the fridge for a couple months. When I scoped it there was NO bacillus what so ever? Anyone scoped theirs? I'm starting another batch today well see how it looks with the new toy.
Jesus Jumpin' Christ on a Cross, girlfiend is right!
Wanna do something really cool with that scope? Make some crystals, you can make them out of many things, but my dad did urine, salt, sugar, and some other things. He had an attachment for his SLR (no such thing as digital cameras back then, video had only just been made available for the general consumer) and his microscope and used a polarizing filter. Grew the crystals on slides, slapped 'em under the scope with the filter and took pix. Those photos resemble satellite imagery, BEFORE THERE WAS SATELLITE IMAGERY! Fractal geometry was unknown then, too.
You can also look at teas, but in the meantime you can literally make art.
Btw, for me personally, I really have trouble seeing bacteria, even at my scope's best of 400x magnification. I can only really make out the big stuff, and am not sure if I'm seeing fungal hyphae or algal threads if they're not obviously green.
so you have any swimmers roots????
Correction. It starts at 40x. But at 400x I can clearly see a mushroom spore and protozoa. So I'd imagine hyphea and bennies should be easy to spot. I'll brew some tea tomorrow, scope and take pics.
Squig do I need to use a dye to see the LB? And around what magnification should they be visible?
Ps I love this thread and don't want to run off topic with microscope talk. Maybe I'll start one for scoping teas.
What can you find? I know rice hulls are high in potassium silicate, too, but they decompose slowly so I'm not sure how easily an extract or tea could be made with them.I think the best is to use fresh material when possible, but could a store bought extract be used here? I cant find horsetail growing anywhere. Any advice on substituting extract for fresh material would be greatly appreciated. Or... advice on finding horsetail in norcal would be the jam!
Horsetail. (Equisetum arvense). Perennial plant and medicinal herb.
Active ingredients. Diverse alkaloids, nicotinic acid, silica.
Action. Insectifuge, preventive fungicide, plant tonic and growth stimulant.
Preparation. In decoction, boil 1 lb. of fresh plant with 5 qts. of water for 1 hour, allow to infuse 12 hours, filter and dilute to 20%.
In fermented extract, 1/2 lb. of dried plant in 2.5 gal. of water. Dilute to 5% before using.
Horsetail, along with nettle and fern, form the Big Three among medicinal plants for plants, according to the French. I remember my Swiss grandmother gathering horsetail and drying it in pillowcases for use in astringent poultices.
I just found this.Anyone here know of Polyamino alchohols ?
They are esters correct?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester
AMINO ALCOHOLS
I has been said it ......that is helps with cell wall penetration!
Are they from fermented plant extracts?
Yeast maybe?
