my goodness, doesn’t anyone remember their high school biology?
Yes, green plants use photosynthesis to grow, however, algae still follow the rules when it comes to reproduction.
There MUST be a source of carbohydrates and trace minerals.
C H O P K N S Ca and Fe are the basic building blocks of life.
Take away any one of them and cells, both plant and animal, cannot survive.
Algae may grow to a very low extant as some cells die, some others may use the now free materials but after a short time, senescence will take place and further growth is not possible. You will not get a freakin’ algal bloom in a sealed container!
and I don’t live in NYC thank God!
Over and out! I’m going to get that water bottle out of my golf bag and have a big swig!

I have a much better idea. Rather than lecture me on hi school biology, why don’t you convince yourself by running an experiment?
Alternatively, you might ask yourself “why is it that RaceBannon and DieHard the Hunter know about this?” and draw some conclusions based upon the likely answer.
I’ll give you a hint: it ain’t by Theory.
