We will be showing the step by step procedure for successfully growing wheatgrass at home in hot summer conditions
Let’s see the step by step procedure that we followed to successfully grow the tray of wheatgrass you just saw in hot summer conditions
We will require every thing that we used for growing wheatgrass in winters plus two additional things which are pure neem oil and a jute sheet.
We are using the Addy Wheatgrass growing kit which consists of an unbreakable tray, good quality wheatgrass seeds with high germination rates and organic growing medium.
First step is to weigh out 400 gms of seeds for germination.
Next, Transfer these seeds to a beaker and wash them thoroughly at least two times.
Now, here’s an important step that you need to follow for growing wheatgrass in summers
Wheat is a winter crop. It needs cold temperature for its seeds to germinate and grow into wheatgrass.
Ideal temperature for wheatgrass germination is 15 degree Celsius to 22 degree
Most of the people wanting to grow wheatgrass in summers fail at this very step. Their seeds do not germinate due to being subjected to high temperature and they have to abort the process half way
To overcome this huge problem, there is a very simple solution. Germinate the seeds in the normal compartment of your home refrigerator. Keep the soaked seeds in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
Now, you will need to prepare a tray side by side while the seeds are soaking, so that the nutrients in the growing medium are already activated and ready when we finally transfer the germinated seeds after two days
Another huge problem that most wheatgrass growers face is the formation of mould in the base of the tray. To avoid this, spray the tray with a solution made with 5 ml of pure neem oil and a litre of water.
Next step is to make a quarter inch layer of the addy wheatgrass growing medium.
Spray this layer with a good amount of neem oil water solution as well to get rid of any fungus it might have and to activate the nutrients in it.
Keep watering the tray with normal water every 8 hours to keep it moist
After 8 hours we will resoak the seeds for 15 minutes, drain the water and keep it again in the refrigerator for 8 hours for germination.
We found that our seeds had germinated in 48 hours and decided to transfer them to the tray
Before transferring the seeds, we again sprayed the tray with neem oil and water solution to eliminate any fungus left in it
Be careful as to not break the white tails of the seeds while transferring them to the tray
Spread the seeds in such a way that they are touching each other but aren’t overlapping
After you finish laying up the seeds, cover the tray with a wet jute cloth and place it in a cool place where you have a cooler or an AC running
Covering it with jute is an important step. Do not cover the tray with paper or a towel as they will trap humidity and heat and the seeds will rot in a few hours
Jute has big weaving holes in it which facilitate air circulation.
And keeping it moist all the time also keeps the tray cool and in turn prevents rot and promotes root formation
Don’t forget to remove the jute covering every few hours and check for moisture loss
We found that it required watering every 2 hours to stay moist
We also sprayed it with neem oil water solution once a day for next two days while keeping it covered with the jute cloth.
After two days, remov the cover and place the tray under a led lamp of at least 8 watts
Here’s a tip for germinating the seeds in the refrigerator
While the germination process is going on, you need to observe the seed for white tails coming out its end.
We found that white tails were slow to come out in comparison to when seeds are left outside for germination.
So we decided to keep it out of refrigerator for approx 1 - 2 hours during the 8 hour cycle, which quickened the germinating process
You need to keep checking seeds for any funky smell which might suggest rot setting in
If that happens, wash the seeds and keep them in fridge for longer periods and lesser periods outside it
As you can see with each passing day wheatgrass growth is picking up and it had a sudden spurt in growth from May 1, which was day 6 of the total nine day process
We always had the led lamp on and cooler was running for 12 hours approximately every day
The temperature it was kept in had a high of 31.1 degree celcius and low of 27 degree celcius
We kept watering it every 2 to 3 hours
We checked for mould and the smell of rotting but didn’t find any
Our trays had many holes, which ensured no water logging
Excess water quickly escaped the tray within minutes of watering. That helped a lot in preventing any root rot.
Congratulations for growing it successfully in unfavorable conditions!
Thank you sir
In Hot weather??
Nice work keep going on mate
Thanks
would you say what ratio between neem oil and water do you use?
Ratio will depend on ppm of neem oil being used.
The pure neem oil used in the video has ppm less than 300.
We have added 2.5 ml of neem oil to one liter of water.
@@ShashiNGautam Thank you!
This video is friggin awesome
thank you
Where we can by wheat -- to grow wheat grass for healthcare
After the seeds have germinated do we need to place it in a room with an air conditioner running 24/7? Or just watering it every 2-3 hours is enough? Also is it possible to grow wheatgrass hydrophoniclly without using soil in a hot weather condition?
Maintain temperature below 25 °C 24x7
Wheatgrass will still grow till 30.
Beyond 30 it will not grow
@@ShashiNGautam can i place the entire tray at the refrigerator with 15c degree? When its already growing? I cant even make the seeds sprouts 🤣 havent bought the neem oil yet also. For the best soil type in hot weather do we use growing medium? Or coconut coir? I dont even had jake cloth to cover the tray
Fresh air is needed. Indirect sunlight is needed. Watch our another video on the channel where we have used soil as growing medium.
You can buy pure organic neem oil from
shashingautam.in/web-shop/neem-oil-for-plant-online-india
It was really helpful. But i couldn't understand why did you put it under LED lamp ? And why not under the sunlight!!
In another video of yours you suggested (hydrogen peroxide 3% by volume) can you elaborate this please
Add hydrogen peroxide 3% in soaking water and in irrigation water. Add 15 ml to 200 ml and spray on your sprouts. Use only food grade Hydrogen Peroxide.
I am growing wheat sprouts not wheatgrass so neem oil will give bitter taste to sprouts and i am getting white and black fungus so can you suggest better solution for my problem???
Where there is humidity and heat, the fungus will grow on it.
Keep your sprouts in cool and airy place. Try to have the right amount of moisture. Enough to keep germination process going on but not too much to encourage fungus growth. You can keep the sprouts in the refrigerator for 1 hour every few hours to keep it cool too.
I have reached ur April 30 stage yayyyyy
I want to know did you switch off the LED lamp at night or kept it ON for entirely....?
Reply fast plz
Keep led in for 12 hours only then off for 12 hours
I do not remember April 30 stage.
Mention the stage in terms of days or in terms like soaking stage etc.
Shashi n Gautam - Kitchen Gardeners april 30 stage refers to one in ur video
Very detailed and informative video on growing wheat grass :))
Thanks Suzanne. We took the challenge of growing wheatgrass in summer in home conditions and in the process we learned few tricks which we have documented and shared with you tubers.
Now i know the reason why my wheatgrass are not growing,its because of temperature 😅
Wheatgrass ideal growing temperature is 15 to 25°C.
@@ShashiNGautam plz give some idea to protect the Wheat grass pot from heat,i m from Bikaner(Rajasthan) , and the temperature is around 46°-47°
Do we need to immerse seeds completely in water or just moist them while trying germinate them in refrigerator???
Soaking method remain same.
can we put the neem and water mix in soil-less wheatgrass to avoid cotton molds and rotten smell
Yes, you can spray neem oil mix with water. Be careful to use chemical free neem oil. We have pure cold press neem oil on our online shop

Hi very good video. and well explained.
Can i use Neem leaves and water? Mixed well... instead of using Neem oil??
Can you please tell us how to grow wheat grass in winter season?
Ye videos dekhe

can neem leaves + boiled water be used to get neem opil effect?
Definitely it will have some effect. Grinding the Neem leaves on stone grinder and then adding warm water should extract the goodness of Neem leaves.
Alternatively you can buy pure Neem oil from us which is easy to use, time saving and proven effective it will cost just Rs80 and we do free shipping for order above Rs100.
where can i get those trays? I am in Canada!!!????? Thank you! Great videos, very informative and appreciated :)
We have delivery in India only.
I am also in Canada. I use dollar store plastic trays and use no soil. It works.
So in ths method do v hav to use soil?... nd wht z the proportion of water nd Nim oil?
+maxwel lopes no soil. We have used Growing medium that's come with our wheatgrass growing kit.
We have used 1500 ppm neem oil and used 5 ml per Liter. You should dilute as per label on neem oil
Will try germinating inside refrigerator. But isn't that too cold? That's about 5 degrees Celsius.
+Stefan Lowe
Yes you are right. We took tray out for few hours which led to germination
Stefan Lowe nice
Hi if I want to grow 10kg wheatgrass in a tray then how much big tray do I need
It's not practical to grow 10 kg in 1 ट्राय. Either grow in number of trays or in ground.
On what rates you provide wheat graa
Contact me on whatsapp 9210440671

my wheatgrass in summer growing but getting stinks and fruit flies never leave.
If rot has been set in than you can not stop smell and fruit fly will follow soon.
You can attack problem by using neem oil spray on growing medium and on tray till day 4. Maintain the temperature at least below 30 degrees Celsius. And most important never let water stay in the tray else rot will set in.
This is how we took care of rot, smell, and molds while growing wheatgrass in hot summer condition during making of this video.
thanks for telling me this I will let my friend know and we will try again this few days.
have to throw that one which fruit flies love....
thank you soo mich!!!
Did you notice that we germinated Wheatgrass Seeds in fridge? There is every possibility of rot setting in due to soaking and high temperature and germination in fridge takes care of that. Best of luck for your next tray of wheatgrass.
