How it Works
1. Order and Install
Your turnkey seaweed equipment ships directly from our facility. Uncrate and set up in less than a day. 
2. Autoclave
Autoclave the individual tanks to ensure sterility before inoculating your culture. 
3. Inoculate
Use a small volume of clean inoculum to start your culture. 
4. Bulk
Increase gametophyte biomass over weeks or months. 
5. Harvest ↓ or →
Semi-continuously (partially) harvest or batch harvest (completely) gametophytes.
6. Seed Spools with Gametophytes & Induce
Add gametophytes to seed string spools, or green gravel, and induce sporophyte formation.
6. Or, Induce and Seed Directly onto Ropes
Seed sporophytes directly onto ropes.
7. Outplant
Outplant in the ocean for restoration or commercial ventures. Product Specifications
