Re: Growing your own seaweed (sea vegetables)

Well it certainly is saltwater, and if you consumed the seaweed then I guess it would be aquaponics too.

The ones we have in our office are growing in aquariums, and we do feed some of it to the fish, but most of the seaweed is thrown away. It could however be used as fertilizer, skin wraps, pet food, and food for us too. It taste more like iceberg lettuce.

It does not grow nori, because nori is more complex to grow, but it does grow Ulva, Cladophora, and Entomorpha. The way we grow it (in an aquarium), you don't get to choose what grows because it chooses its own. But in a stand-alone cultivator you could seed the water with what you desire, and adjust the parameter of light and flow to try to grow it.

Have you tried to grow seaweed before?
