What size scoop is that for the soil? 1 gallon?
You guys should add some amazon affiliate links for all the gear you use and recommend! I would use them to purchase all the starting gear. Just coming across your channel now and starting my microgreens journey and this info is fantastic.
Hello! Don't you need to remove the moldy part immediately? Doesn't it affect the end product? Thanks! I'm from the PH and it's warm and humid here too so I've been also getting mold issues if not sanitized properly.
Thank you so much for the wonderful videos! The flowers on the shelf are beautiful! May I ask what is the he the size of the flower pot? What kind of soil mix do you use for flowers? And what is the distance between the shelves? Could you please do a video on growing flowers?
We arent a flower farm so we dont do a lot with them except use them in our fiesta blends. The are in 5" pots we try to set them a few inches apart to give them room to grow out. Flowers are A LOT of work, they need constant pruning and care. The soil is just a potting mix, nothing special and we only grow a few varieties. Marigolds, pentas, snap dragons and violas but all are in different seasons. We sometimes order our starter plants from another local farm. Just depends on how much time we have to commit to the flower growing. Maybe at some stage we could do a video on the flowers but its not our focus right now :)
@ Thank you very much for taking time to reply. Appreciated!!!
Can you tell me what containers you use
we order our packaging from Webrestaurant, we order the 64 oz and the 32 oz for microgreens and the 24 oz we use for flower boxes. They are the hinged deli containers I believe
Curious of how warm you like to keep your grow rooms considering you are in South Florida
We keep the farm at 75 for the most part. Its harder in the summer, the farm gets hot but we do our best to combat it by taking really good care of the AC and the dehumidifier.
Amazing tips, the cantaloupe greens looks healthy
Thank you so much for your instructional videos. I've learned a lot . I'm a new microgreen grower in the north east. Do you treat the arugula again with hydrogen peroxide mixture after it's out of germination and starting to grow its leaves?
Thank you for all the great videos!!! I saw in the comments from a previous video that you do not sell them by weight. What is the reasoning for this and have you run into any push back from chefs or if you are moving into wholesale do they not want to know the weight. Do you have any idea what a container of those harvested pea shoots weigh? Can you give a price range that you charge for these. I understand sharing pricing is sometimes not peoples favorite thing to do but it is quite helpful for education purposes. I know most chefs i deal with in the Atlanta area want a price by weight. Thanks so much for your info, i have been growing micros as a extra product on my farm for years but still find your info to be very useful and i am trying a couple of your procedures. thanks
I'm having trouble finding info on cantaloupe, was hoping you could help me? How long do you keep it weighted, and blacked out?
Hi thank you for all your videos 😊 may I ask witch kind of grow lights are you using?
Does this fool grow beets or think hes a rapper? OMG I laughed so hard when I saw this twit.....whats he doing? punching his palm, and talking like hes on radio. Omg..hes delusional 🤣🤣😂😂
amazing! how often do you water and what is your light schedule? when do you turn off the lights? thank you!!
Water as needed if hand watering every day. Depends on your humidity and airflow in your grow. Light cycle 16 hours on 8 hours off.
do chefs and customers care about the seeds that are left on the microgreen? how do you get rid of the seed shells??
Depends on your clients we don't have many seed hulls as a covered crop. So if that is the case then follow our procedures and you will have a clean end product.
I’m so excited that you have this! I am going to be looking on your page. Do you have any suggestions for lights? And how far of a distance you need between the cilantro and the lights? Do you use LED or T5? Also, how many hours a day do you run the light for the cilantro?
No blackout?
Nope we dont blackout any of our micros!
what is your ratio for zerotal and water? Thanks
2 Fluid OZ per 2 gallon Spray Bottle
Great video. Thanks for the info.
Your cilantro is so healthy and looks great.I'll give it a try.
Thanks for watching
What were you sanitizing with, my hearing is off and I couldn't make out what you said?
HP and Zertol
my dude get a clip on mic... they're cheap
Got one thanks brother. Lots of sounds in the farm.we learning every day.
thank you.
Thank you
Been loving the content on your channel and the longer farm tour I’ve seen as well! Would you guys ever make a video like this on the flowers you grow? The fiesta blend you guys have looks amazing!
Yes we can do a flower grow video. We are growing all our flowers in outdoor beds now as we had issues with I door growing, lighting and pests. Fiestas are fire and sell like crazy
Great video, hope you guys keep doing them! Linking your equipment in the bio is also much appreciated
Legend for watching and subscribing, We will have more content here soon. Been a busy summer on the farm.
You keep saying you don’t over water them but you spray so much water each layer.
The right amount!!! We have very successful pea growing yields with this process. This is just our process and procedure. You can do as you wish. this is free information to do with what you want. Happy growing and send a video or picture of your end results. Were doing 100 flats a week here so any information to better our grow is good information.
Shiso is soooooo frustrating to grow
Follow these steps. het your seed from Hoss and I guarantee you will have success. start with the Bi colored shiso and learn the process with this variety. it grows fast and strong.
so its 26 days in light? going to try to grow this following your steps
Wondering what ratio of hydrogen peroxide to water you use for spraying the seeded trays and under the trays? And what strength peroxide are you starting out with before dilution? Thank you!
30% ad we use 2 Fluid OZ per 2 gallon.
What is your H20 ratio to zerotl
2 Fluid Oz per 2 gallon. are you using HC or 2.0?
What kind of nutrients do you use in your water
We use a mixture of n nutrients. for I big rack we use maxi grow and for our hand water we are using ocean solution
Once the container is empty, how to use the container again please make a video
the clamshell?
Omfg you sustainable "G"..ENIOUS, love the tags!! So perfect
Someone went from the kitchen to the garden didnt they! 🤣🤣 lmfao havent heard "set up all your shyt at once ahead of time" in french since i was dating a chef years ago 🤣🤣
Do you reuse the dirt mix ?
We do not No
Great walk-throught. Very clear and easy to follow. Can I ask what your average yield is per tray for Shiso? I would love to know for both Bi-color and Perilla. Also, how many days to harvest do you usually need for Perilla?
Hey there. Thank you glad you enjoyed the content. Perilla is roughly a 32 day cycle seed to harvest and we are getting Bi-colored harvested around 24 days. Yields the Bi-color gets you more then the Perilla so we are focusing more on growing the Bi-colored. we do our shiso by volume OZ so a full flat will fill an 64OZ clamshell. Hope that helps.
Thank you for taking the time to create these vids for us, love your content! I have 3 questions: 1. Why are you using a deep tray instead of a shallow tray? 2. What is your average weight yield on a try of cantaloupe? 3. Is the cost of Cantaloupe seeds crazy over there aswell? I’m in South Africa and am really struggling to source well priced seeds. Thank you 🌱
Crops that have a thicker root structure (cantaloupe, peas, sorrel, etc.) enjoy the root space 2 inch trays provide. We normally will 2 8oz containers out of a single flat of healthy mature cantaloupe. The seed is bought from Hoss and is generally not too expensive.
Yeees Man. Fellow Saffa Grower. Good to see our videos being watched back on home soil. we use Deep trays for crops the need more soil for root structure. They are also a covered crop so we prefer a cleaner grow when the seed pushes through the soil cover. The 2 inch also helps keep all the soil in the flats. Seed cost less here due to availability. A 5 pound bag cost $72.38 Happy Growing
Thanks for the replies, appreciate it. You guys have given me the inspiration to do what I’m doing… been following your journey. Please keep the content coming
Always Valuable Content 💰
Thank You for watching
I love it but it's "sow" not "sew."
Good eye. Appreciate the feedback.
Where can I buy the soil mix you use?
Atlas Peat and soil in Boynton Beach Florida.
Awesome carry on
Thank you stay tuned for more content.
how much did you harvest off that one tray?
We don't do weight but volume. It fills an 8oz (64oz volume) Clamshell
Thank you for the reply. Do you guys use nutrients during the process at all?
How many ounces do you get from a full tray? Great videos! Thanks!
It's a smaller Yielding crop. We dont weigh our micros. we do volume.
Thanks for getting back to me. Thanks for your awesome videos. I live in South Dakota and I’m at a full rack in sales now. I’m not looking back and moving forward and have the desire to be a first in vertical farming. Planning to apply for some grants. Any info you are willing to share would be appreciated! Thanks
Great video!!! I'm loving your videos! I have a question: with these longer crops, have you ever had problems with fungus gnats? Thank you!! 😍
Yes we get them in the farm. Use some colorful fly stickers and hang them around your grow.
Hmm vermiculite why? I plant tons of leek never had a issue I don’t even tip mine and produce 9 too 10 ounce trays
Glad to hear it. Like we say in all our videos everyone grows differently. We see better germination with a light Verm cover. These videos are just for education and entertainment so each to their own.
hello ! what do you call the knife you are using to harvest and where to buy ? thanks
They are purchased off amazon. It's the Mercer Microgreen harvesting knife.
do you ever cover your seeds with vermiculite? How much does 8 ounces sell for
We have used Vera for Cilantro but we feel like soil produces a cleaner end product with less seed Hulls.
just came across your channel its going to grow fast. what type of grow lights do you use?
Thank you. We use a wide variety of lights. We have typically used the Barinna super bright white shop lights(LED) but we have started using 8 foot full spectrum tube lights for our big racks.
How much do you usually sell that clamshell for?
Depends on if we selling it wholesale or retail. $19.99-$28.99
Is it wholesale or retail when you sell it to restaurants?
Do you black out?
we do not no. Dont feel the need to. We get consistent results without black out
@@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm that is good to know thanks
Beautiful crop!
Thank you Sir
What kind of license is required to sell these in Florida? Looks amazing as always ❤
Depends on if you selling DTC or Wholesale. DTC does not require a license but id suggest insurance in case a vendor needs it from you to do business. Wholesale id recommend GAPS
@@tinyleafmicrogreenfarmselling to a restaurant. My wife’s friend owns a restaurant . So not sure if that still falls under cottage law in florida? And yes absolutely I’ll defer get some insurance. Just trying to do everything correctly
What do you do with the soil once you harvest? Do you discard, reuse, or sell? Also, love the channel and want to thank you all for the information. Keep it up!!
We dump our spent flats. were looking for a farmer to collect the waste so if you know anyone interested hit me up.

We dispose of it until we can find a more sustainable waste management system.
