Stray/feral cats unfortunately die quite often from other predators, vehicles, and diseases. (Always check your cars, trucks, and farm vehicles for cats trying to stay warm if you're in a cold area!) We can only hope that somehow Buddy found a new home somewhere else, wishful thinking I know but I hate thinking of the poor guy in pain, he was a sweet boy. I hope this new kitten will be around longer and hopefully it won't disappear without coming back.

Cody, this is so interesting! Thank you for showing how it all works, I’m going to give it a try!

Most 1-2 part hydroponic nutrient solution has stuff settled. Just shake it, it won’t make a difference to the algae/plants. It would be interesting if you could re-create Ph perfect from Advance nutrients, but at a higher ph value for your algae. That way you won’t need to mess with ph up/down.

You could just put the bottle of nutrient mix into a sonic cleaning device to remix the crystals gathered in the bottom. Note: you don’t need to take the solution out of the bottle, just put the whole bottle into the sonic cleaner and just add enough water to the device so that it works properly.

I've never thought about what causes rain smell, that's really interesting. So I assume that when the rain falls it disturbs the dry soil and causes it to release aerosols, probably bacteria based but could be something else, and I'm guessing humans can detect it in tiny quantities because water is important for survival.

Hey Cody! I’m a potter who lives in Utah, and I’m trying to find some beeswax for waxing the feet on my pots, and leather treatment. Would you be interested in a couple honeypots, or some other ceramic goods in exchange for some beeswax? If not, do you know any other Utah beekeepers who might be interested?

I'm glad to see you have a new cat.

Have you considered using citric acid to help dissolve metal ions? Citric acid is able to do chelation and is likely food for the algae later. It might be a good supplement to EDTA and might even replace it in some recipes.

I never made it to chemistry or any kind of advanced classes in school…. But I absolutely enjoy your videos man! Thank you for helping me learn a little bit at a time! What’s up with chicken hole base?

Thanks for igniting my love of science

Thanks for the content and edits ❤

Nice video! But I kinda forgot what was the endgame of this project.

All you clever chemists here, can anyone with certainty answer what exactly the black layer that forms on copper is composed from when you treat bare copper with a warm aqueous solution of liver of sulphur (K2Sx / potassium polysulfide). All I'm finding is websites that repeat the others calling it "oxide" and "patina". I'd also like to know if it is stable under heat and UV. Trying to refurbish a solar heat collector and the soldering "burns" off the black coating so I need to reapply something and this looks like a good chemical process for that. (Paint insulates too much). It's behind glass so there won't be much UV but it needs to last a long long time.

@Cody'sLab can you show the whole process of growing the algae, and what you do with it afterwards?

I'd have probably just left out copper entirely because the first batch of algae would carry over enough for several expansions. Don't forget you can buy waterglass or potassium silicate , or disolve the silica with lye.

Apparently this is the year for orange tabby cats because I adopted one that was abandoned, a friend of mine adopted a different one that had no home, we've seen a new orange stray in my neighborhood, and now Cody has an orange kitten Lol Thanks for the new upload, Cody, I never get tired of your curiosity and love of science!

"Macavity" or whatever you named him, seems very helpful, for some values of "help"!

Would it not be more convenient to mix everything together and store it as a dry powder? Obviously you'd have to dissolve it before use, but I can't imagine anything crystalizing in a dry form.

thank you looks like fun times

always a good day when cody uploads!

Cody, i have an important question, I'm not sure if you ever tested the mineral content of your product but if you haven't i would implore you to do so with great concern as it might slow which forms of which nutrients are actually taken up and how much of them are within the food that this algae can be. I'm not asking for a personal answer from you, only for everyone's better health.

Why not make dry my mixes that are pre-portioned for convenient final “wet” volume? For example weight out enough for 100L final volume then divide it into 10 and store dry. Then if you need to make a 10L solution you just add one bag or jar of the dry to the wet. Do you think there’s any issues storing all the additives together dry? The advantage is theres less to get wrong, no measuring, no chance of crystalizing, less shelf space, lite weight… seems like all good things

I can tell you're a good Cat Dad or Cat Uncle. That's a happy, healthy cat there.

Enjoy your videos. Any updates on the algae? It appears that many researchers are giving up on algae as a viable source for biofuels.

Such a helpful kitteh

Other than hypothetical possibilities, what do you actually use the algae for? Have you used it as a nutritional supplement, or fish food? Also, what sort of lighting environment do you put the cultures in? Do you use natural light or artificial light?

Great video , Let’s wait and see for the update

So what about algae's air needs? Is it necessary to monitor the air and just circulate, or do you want to measure O2, N2, CO2 to ensure you're not getting a capnophobic environment etc?

Thanks Cody.

Yes, when I tried potassium ferricyanide 1 g per 1 L it did not work since the iron and cyanide had a tight bond. Just wanted to try that. However EDTA and Iron salts that is interesting.

The solutions you made look a lot like Masterblend part A and B for hydroponics. It would probably be cheaper and easier to switch to that. It does grow algae too.
