I have recently set up 2 thursdays ago 3 phyto cultures, (tetra, thalassiosira diatoms, and isocrysis galbana) and a tiger pod culture. 1 gallon each.
I harvested thursday, all 3 phytos did astoundingly well, darker than the cultures I started with, but my harvest is almost ready again and I will be away from tomorrow to Sunday. Is 10 days safe to leave these cultures under automation? I was always planning to harvest at 7 and want to make sure I shouldn't harvest early.
I seteralized all my containers just now, but would like to hold off if it should be okay.
I figured for the pods I will strain enough out to stop them from turning the water clear in a day, maybe 80% of them and they will be fine until Sunday.
Advice?
