Check out the website for an updated price and inventory list. At this time only one gallon bottles are in stock, please message me for 5 gallon jugs or larger orders. This is the same formula and I have been working behind the scenes to offer a lower price product. Had to do some tweaking to the process to get this to market and out of the shadows. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the products.

Environmental concerns discussion is up on YouTube. It’s a bit of a ranting video at points, however, I still on a couple of key aspects about microalgae cultivation. Main points I’d like to highlight:
• pH, TDS and salinity
• preventing algae blooms
• biochar
• Amazon Black Soils (Terra Preta)
• microalgae potential missing link in the soil food web
• use for cannabis as a viable nutrient source

Thank you for those that are checking this out I know this going to take a lot longer than I’d hoped. Goal with these first videos is to get myself comfortable in front of the camera. Get out and grow you some microalgae 🤙🏼💨

From the beard to the goat… miss my beard these days now that is getting cold. Behind every smile hides someone’s darkness, that’s the hole I’ve been crawling myself out of the past couple of months. This cannabis industry has beaten the living s**t out my bod and for once hit me deep to my soul. This journey has a story book ending that has yet to be told and I sure look forward to the day to share the entirety of the story with the world. For now living in the “now” moment for the best years yet to come in my life. To all the entrepreneurs out there struggling if you read this post, the light at the end of the tunnel is in arms reach, you just gotta let go of fear, reach out some days farther than the comfort zone and sn**ch that light to be yours.

Link in the Bio!!! I couldn’t take it any longer, so I chopped it up into 3 different parts. First 1 of 3 is uploaded to the channel. Bare with these first videos I will be posting up, I’ll get some help editing so it’s not just a rough one cut take. This is an educational video series that goes over a photobioreactor to cultivate microalgae for soil amendment purposes only. I’ve included the nutrient protocol on this first series as well as some history on how the f*k I got to this place with microalgae use as a soil amendment. Not sure what attention this will draw so for those that are in the microalgae world please note the following:

This system is not intended to be patented, what I am showing is a basic system that has millions of opportunities to be re-patented.

I’m realizing it’s going to take me a quit a few of these to really explain the madness, the system is only a piece to this puzzle. My hope by sharing this invention is to see humanity have just one more tool in our tool boxes to help get the job done.

The suspense is killing me! Final got around to making a decent video that will get the ball rolling on spreading the info about cultivating microalgae for soil amendment uses. Once the video has been uploaded I’ll let everyone know here and

It’s been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to sharing my work with the world.

Huge thanks to all the supports! It’s that time of year to stock up on microalgae! Use Coupon Code: BOGO when you checkout on Algaura.com

Note: there will be a release coming September 1, 2022 on the microalgae living culture for at home growers. For those interested in learning how to grow microalgae soil amendments stay tuned and those that have been waiting appreciate your patience… it’s gonna be lit 💨

One take! I will do my best to help better explain the mad science behind how I got to this point with the microalgae soil amendment. I’ve released that by keeping the information to myself on how to grow microalgae is ultimately holding back the progression of its use as a biological fertilizer. Here we go, July 5th will be the official start to a new chapter on my story. Thank you for those that have supported me through this journey, although many have advised that I don’t show people how it’s done… truth is if I was in this game to make money I’d keep it a secret. Love doesn’t have a value because it just IS and nothing more, therefore I’m going to share with the world what it is that I love to do.

Some roots where harmed in this video… plant is a bit in happy but in the name of science I just had to dig into these roots. Some R&D with microalgae biochar at the bottom of the pot. As expected the roots acted similar to a fabric pot causing the roots to be air pruned as they entered the biochar. What’s amazing is the roots became bound around the biochar, this is just the start to a beautiful shift in farming practices.

“Alpha waves in the human brain are between 6 and 8 hertz. The wave frequency of the human cavity resonates between 6 and 8 hertz. All biological systems operate in the same frequency range. The human brain's alpha waves function in this range and the electrical resonance of the earth is between 6 and 8 hertz. Thus, our entire biological system - the brain and the earth itself - work on the same frequencies. If we can control that resonate system electronically, we can directly control the entire mental system of humankind.”

What a time to be dancing in this world praying for some moisture. Been debating writing this post for a couple days and there is no sweet way to sugar coat the story. Look outside into the world of nature and you’ll see things aren’t the way as they were. The simple explanation is we have tilted the temperature scale past a mark that I was told we’d never see; back first learning about climate issues in 2012. The extraction of fossil fuels paired with unstable agriculture practices is creating the perfect storm. It was a confusing time for me to gather that we as humans may have pushed our home past a certain braking point that possibly can’t be fixed.
Typically this part of the Chavez ranch has water at this time of year in the Poso/pond, they bone dry. This was a similar case last year back in Oct when, for the first time in my life my grandfather pulled cattle off the land due to lack of water. The grass is so dry that I fear for brush fire and further erosion of grasslands when the rains do arrive. It’s a unique battle to face when I’d hear the stories my grandpa would tell me of the community at Mesa de Los Cavos would relay on dry crop farming. This is the hardest thing for me to comprehend that less than 80 years ago people could rely on the rain to grow their crops. No irrigation from a well, no chemical based fertilizers, no tractors, and no idea how that was possible other than it just rained/snowed more often.

Update:
Been in full r&d mode working on something special. The Carbon story behind the microalgae is what is key to solving many of our climate issues. Think of it like this… we burn and make products out of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are primarily comprised of dead microalgae and NOT DEAD DINOSAURS. All that carbon that is being released from fossil fuels was once stored up in microalgae. Thus, by growing microalgae for plant/soil growth allows us to recapture the carbon and store it in the soil. Carbon along with other greenhouses gases like Nitrous Oxide will be reduced as we transfer from chemical fertilizer inputs and direct our pathway to regenerative agriculture.

When I started Algafarms I had the cannabis community in mind. After working at my first commercial medical grow I saw that the plants were displeased with their treatment. It translated to feeling like working at W***y Wonka’s factory to a Chad run factory. I knew at that moment that my work with microalgae needed to be specified to a cannabis formula. I did this in hopes growers could switch to the microalgae. What I learned is growers are uncertain about microalgae, they feel it’s going to choke out roots and compete with plant growth. This is true for certain strains of microalgae, primarily filamentous algae, however, there is over 200k species of microalgae. Many are at the bottom of the food chain that are consumed by other microbes and the plants being grown.

I feel in my heart that the original bottled formula has a place, and still plan to offer it in the near future. Unfortunately it doesn’t solve the problems we face on a global scale. Buckle your seatbelts it’s going to be a fun ride.

So this happened… inoculated the biochar with microalgae 17 days ago. Was initially going to only do 14 days until the green started to appear. As I began to look under the scope I began to realize just how much of the microalgae survived. Give me a couple more days to see how it turns out, to say the least I feel it worked out better than expected. After all the idea was to only have a small population survive and not this case of it seeming to continue to grow.

Again anyone interested in testing out the new media shoot me your address, plan is to ship out one pound of the inoculated biochar. If someone is really into getting their hands dirty let me know and I’ll probably send a larger amount 🤙🏼

We back up in stock! Hit the link in the bio to stock up on the new year batch. 25% off till the end of the month and while supplies last. Been a longtime coming so we starting off simple with the Green Thumb, essentially this is our all purpose formula for all plants. Working on a new batch of the Roots & Shoots and Bloom formula that will have all organic certified inputs. Friendly reminder microalgae uses the exact same types of nutrients plants require. What makes us different is we take those nutrients and allow the microalgae to break them down into an exudate form for optimal plant uptake. Just like fungi and bacteria play an important roll in our soil microbiology so does microalgae. Think of it like this... we utilize cover crops to put back certain nutrients in the soil as a rotational crop. The microalgae is the exact same thing only containing all key nutrients that plants need. We have a lot to learn about how microalgae exactly works in the long run, for now in short, it works so why not give it a try?

Note: still don’t have a “cool” name for the bloom formula so bare with the generic name for the time being.

Proven beneficial microalgae species for your soil, this is not the species of algae that is harmful to plants like found in hydroponic contaminated systems.

Bricks of microalgae wet/dry paste for your Friday viewing pleasure. Out with old in with the new, as they tend to say. Besides the cheesy lines this right here something very unique. Multiple forms of microalgae in a paste is semi dry form. To give you a bit of an idea these little organisms are 10-20 micron is size. Minus the dirt, grim and bugs these sold pieces are packed with trillions of microbes. Going to let some of these dry out for a period of time and see what they turn into...

What do you know about the volvox microalgae strains? Not the best picture in the world but I hope everyone gets the idea that this is one cool species of microalgae to find. Typically only have desmid species growing with a diatom here or there but after the resent rain fall I suspect these came into the mix. Not very pro dominate but I want to keep them around because rotifers will munch on these before they get to the beneficial microalgae. Have to keep track now to see how long they stick around and see if they become a common occurrence. #505

Ripping the bindweed out with the H**p Hawk! Only way to organically remove bindweed is with constant cultivation every 2-3 weeks. With the low till impact the H**p Hawk has should help keep the 6-8 inch depth microbial life intact. More to come with the adaptation of this implementations the farm.
