After we set up automated heating an aeration, our Spirulina culture started to grow rapidly, so we decided it was time to run some experiments.
To run our experiment, we created 4 different jars and measured/documented the culture density in each. Then we created an identical automated system to test if we can repeat the results. We also created a control jar that only gets the same lighting as the other jars. We will measure the culture density periodically to see how much difference this automated system makes in growing Spirulina.
The next phase is to test for optimal lighting, while we start design research and prototyping the container.
