Thank you for another great video. I am just starting in the Microgreen business, so I really enjoy these videos. I would like to also get into the flowers. I just moved from So Cal to Utah. Getting used to the climate change.
Awesome please let us know if we can assist with any info.
Beets are tough lol we still have trays that fail here and there. We will share all the deets with you soon. We find the mold completely stops for the most part when covering and the germination rate is better. We do spray them down with zerotol through the germination stage every other day which also really helps. Sunnies we don’t cover but we mist with zerotol during germination as well. We also soak sunflowers before we plant them. The seed hulls really stick to the shoots so we’re really not a big fan of the sunflower 🌻 but we’d be happy to show a video if people want to see what we do 😊
Would love to see your process on shiso, red veined sorrel, and others that require a specific germination process. There is not a lot of content out there about the high-end crops.
Shiso, Red Veined Sorrel, and lemon balm are our next few videos. Stayed tuned we can't wait to show you.
@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm Amazing. Would love to see flower videos too on things like Nasturtium, viola, marigold, ect. Cheers!
I was going to ask the same! Patiently waiting over here in Europe 😊 Love your success 👏
Great video. Well done! Stoked to see the journey of a pea on our UA-cam 😊
More to come! Thanks for supporting the channel.
Great crop, thanks for sharing your process in detail. Looking forward to beets, they're still fighting me, 😂.
Question does covering improve germination? We remove all peas that don't germinate, as they mold in tray under lights. If covered does it stop this? When we covered sunnies in the past, covering resulted in missed bad patches under soil where seed didn't germ. Only time I've covered peas is when I dropped a tray 😂, just piled them back into the tray and covered lightly. Was amazed at how they grew.
Awesome stuff keep them coming and really enjoyed your microgreen consulting episode too.
I dont necessarily think it improves the germination. However it does help with our molding issues.
Thanks for following and commenting. stay tuned for more content
After harvest, what do you with the trays of roots?
We dump the trays, soak, pressure wash and sanitize before planting again. The microgreens don’t really grow another flush. You can compost your flats of course. We did that for along time! 😊
Do you rinse you micro greens before you package?
No we do not because there are different GAP requirements for rinsed produce but also microgreens do not handle moisture well so we harvest a dry crop and on our labels we recommend rinsing if the customer chooses to do so. Microgreens do better unwashed and handled with the most care. We do our best keep the product sanitary before packaging and making sure you are wearing the right protective gear during harvest along with the sterile farm environment throughout the grow... they should be clean and good to go on a plate :)
do you spray straight 3 percent HP on them or do you dilute that like you do when you soak them in HP. Also could you please tell me what you feed the microgreens
No we dilute 2oz of HP per 2 gallon sprayer. We use a variety of nutrients. Check out ocean solution for an easy to use nutrient.
@@tinyleafmicrogreenfarm thank you. one more question can you tell me where you get those sprayers
We buy them on Amazon. They are easy to find at any Home Depot or alike stores
What is the proper name of the pea for Johnny's seeds? I am new to Johnny's.
Pea Afillia. You should be able to find them in the search bar.
I actually found them. They are growing as we speak. Thank you so much.
Great videos guys. IT helps to watch. How long do you store zerotol for in the sprayer once mixed up? How long does it last and is good for use? I am waiting for my business licence so I cant Buy zerotol in Canada Until i get my Licence (farmers with a business licence can get it in Canada without a pesticide/algaecide Licence as zerotol is classified here) so I m just asking you guys :)
It lasts quite a long time because the mixture is 1.8 ounces per every 2 gallons of water. It will eventually eat through the plastics on your sprayers though lol like I said in the video it’s a really harsh product but it’s great for fungal control through the germ phase. We typically go through a bottle of zerotol every 6 months and we use it everyday. The sprayer usually breaks before we finish the zerotol. We always have back up sprayers at the farm lol
Great 🌱Content
You might want to try Washing Your Seeds Better to prevent the Mold Problems, or you could be using too much H2 o2..
Are those Yellow or Green Pea Seeds ?
You could have a Bad Batch of Seeds if they are getting mushy while germinating.
Who do you get your seeds from ?
Have you Checked your Water Temp & PH ?
I never have any Mold Problems,, and I don’t use any H2 o2 on my Seeds .
But I Designed a USDA Certified Problem Solving Proprietary Patentable Hydro Ag Lab Microgreens Farm Pod that Solves a lot of Production Problems that have been attracting a lot of interest from USDA, Big & Small Food Buyers & Distributors, VC Groups and many other who think my Hydro Ag Solutions could Disrupt the Vertical Farming Industry, and turn Microgreens into the Next $MultiBillion$ Packaged Salad Brand.
