Well, your in luck because this is our step-by-step guide for growing Cress Microgreens with Tips & Tricks along the way! For this Microgreen tutorial we use a hydroponic growing medium called Coco Coir that is similar in texture to soil...

Just planed this crop today, got the seeds yesterday. I really have to thank you guys! I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder and since I first began watching you guys and growing in July, this has really helped relax me and I've noticed my reliance on Valium has decreased. Can't thank you enough for that!
That's awesome to hear that this has helped! We both suffer from anxiety also so we can relate to the suffering that it causes. We're happy to hear that our content has helped you find some relief and we hope it continues to subside!

Cress has been the No.1 microgreen in the UK for decades, with mustard also being popular, never really called microgreens ......the main dish for cress has always been boiled eggs chopped,mayo and cress mixed together, mostly on sandwiches
I'm really getting excited about starting growing! I can't thank y'all enough for putting out awesome vids with extremely valuable information for free! God bless you!
We love learning more about microgreens. Hoping to get our system set up soon.
#best channel on micros
Thank you so much!!
We love y’alls videos! Can’t wait to try this walkthrough out. We’re so excited to see the next steps y’all take in the remodel and REALLY can’t wait to see how to make ocean solution! 👍👍
Ocean Solution can be found in several of their videos. If you are serious about this you should binge watch their videos.
Buster Brown oh trust me I watch them a lot. In fact, I watched their previous video that mentioned them working on their own version of ocean solution! Isn’t that fantastic?
Thank you so much for the support! The remodel is coming along amazing!! we should hopefully have some results soon with the OceanSolution. Turns out, it's a little trickier than expected :P We will figure something out though!
On The Grow well the m a bit of a chemist if I can help 🤷♂️
Great video! Thanks!
Can you make a video that walks through your growing area. The set up is amazing and very creative
I am about 2 days away from my first harvest of Cress. It looks really good, and healthy, my only problem so far - and nobody has mentioned it yet - is that I don't like the smell of the seeds. I am growing in my kitchen and the smell every time I come into my kitchen is not very pleasant. If I like Cress I will have to grow outside I think! Thanks for all your great videos!!
Really cool, thanks! 😎
Thank you for watching Lyssa M!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!
🙂We're actively working on tasty recipes that will highlight Cress and the various flavors of microgreens...yum!!
P.S...Check us on TikTok when you can!
I just bought some Cress seeds but was unsure how to grow them. I am looking forward to trying this.
Hope you've been able to figure them out!! 🥳
Got a link for your harvesting knife? I didn’t see it on your Amazon store but added a ton of other shit to my cart 😂 scared to keep looking. Garden life! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video! I have a question on the black out period. Why do you need to flip the TOP tray after the seeds have germinated and continue to keep them out of light? Also, I noticed you didn’t add any weight for cress. Why is that so?
Thank you!
😄😄
I’ve been using Black Gold Seed Starting Soil and just watering with ph controlled water. Would you recommend adding nutrients into the water? Also, would you recommend using soil with nutrients or using a vermiculite and adding nutrients? Thank you!
Mandy, I absolutely love your walk-throughs. I set my microgreen "kitchen" up as close to yours as possible...but I'm in a condo LOL. Anyhow I wanted to say THANKS and I hope you publish a "how to" booklet someday with all the walk-through instructions day by day on each of the microgreens you grow.
nice one x
Nice !
Thank you!!
This is so awesome and wholesome! Can you make a salad of only this kind of crop or is it used as a spicing on a regular lettuce?
We prefer to mix cress with other greens because they are very strongly flavored by themselves. It is personal preference really! They are so tasty!!
Hi Mandi! I’ve just put some cress seeds in my tray, and watching your video at the same time lol. Did you lift the tray and mist the seeds at the start between day 1 and 3? Thanks!
Great video, we love all your great videos . Very helpful. Could you show the link to your knife? Thanks. Never mind I just saw the link.
Thank you so much for your support!! 🥳 Glad you were able to find that link! Sorry it took a bit to respond!
Thanks a lot… what are you going to do with the harvested tray?
After two months of testing to see what grows best in our conditions, our family has discovered cress is one of two microgreens we can all agree to intensely dislike!! (the other is mizuna radish) :)
You've reached the magic tipping point in subscriber count, it looks like: you're about to go over 21,000! WHOOOP!!!
True-Leaf is more affordable, but they are significantly slower to ship than Johnny's. I order from both companies.
hahaha they aren't for everyone!!
It's so wild! now we're almost to 27,000!!! 🥳🥳 It's happening so fast.
Completely agree. We order Johnny's sometimes to! They have great edible flower seeds!
What do you do with the grow medium after you harvest? Thanks
Aloha Mandy,
Please, what's the ceiling height of your trailer?. I'm lovin' your videos. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you so much for the support!! We have 7ft, 6in ceilings in our growspace! It helps to have some overhead storage and that extra height helps!
It is very beautiful
Thank you!
Good educational videos, I've noticed the violet light. Why are the lights violet if I may ask?
very nice ma'am
ma'am kindly tell me about basil seed how i can grow basil micro beans. i try many time but failed
Very informative. Do the roots left in the tray regrow for another harvest and what is the procedure?
Some crops will regrow. Others will not. Just keep up with light and water procedures. 😊
Once you cut the harvest can you still use the same pan that's under already to keep growing
Hi! What do you do with the remaining tray material (the soil, remaining stem ) ? Do we discard that or can it be reused?
Hi Mandy - how do you stop the cress seeds sticking to underneath of the top tray? Mine keep sticking to the top tray and coming away from the coir, when I go to mist on days 1 & 2, makes a right mess!
After the harvest, will the cress grow back in that tray by just adding water? Nutrients also include more calcium than found in milk.
N00b question - you used cococoir with a slotted tray, but then bottom watered for 6 days. I thought that because roots cant consistently get down to water thru a slotted tray that theyd need to be top watered, or better yet that a mesh tray would be used instead of slotted. Can you (or someone) help clarify whether slotted or mesh is optimal for use with cococoir for microgreens ? What determines the use of one vs the other ? Thanks !
The parts for my 1st rack have begun arriving ... yay.
These are really annoying to grow commercially.
I noticed you are having the same issue as us. The seed sticks to the coco coir and it lifts pieces of the medium up into the canvas.
When I grow crops like cress and Basil now, we are using a nice coco coir mat to prevent this from happening.
Thank you.
Your tshirt--LOVE! The future is female farmers :) where'd you get it!?
Thank you so much!! We got it from Public Goods I believe!
Will they regrow once you harvest ?
What temperature would be ideal? What would be an ideal humidity too?
could you add a thin layer of coco to keep the seeds from sticking to the top tray?
I love your videos. I notice with this seed you did not put any weight on top of the tray during black out time. Any specific reasons for that?
How do you guys measure out how many grams of seed to use per each type of microgreen? Is there a website that you follow with a chart with that information?
What do you do with the coco after harvest?
Beautiful, just wondering if a pair of scissors would give you better results on harvesting?
You can absolutely use scissors, in fact we do prefer it for our shorter crops. Thank you for the support!!
What do you need to do when you done harvesting and you want to use the soil again
Water Cress is also amazingly nutritious.
In general the ratio is to let every fourth seed flower and you will never have to worry about where to buy seeds again.
There are so many things we take for granted like squeezing the handle and having safe water.
You know they now have wedding bands made out of a material that is safe and very inexpensive.
I'm allergic to gold and people will kill you for diamonds nowadays. I have kept my rings for fifty years for a rainy day and there are storm clouds on the horizon.
Can you grow more from the same tray?
I seking for Watercress or Nasturtion Officinalis seedsin Italy but anything . Have you some informations?
What happens to the grow tray and the rest of roots once you harvest the 1st harvest..do they keep growing? I would love to grow this on a smaller scale as it would just be for me...
This question has been asked twice and never answered.
I notice all the other infomercial channels don't answer it either.
A strange conspiracy is born today!
What is the thickness of the tray in millimeters? where to order?
I'm going to buy seeds from TrueLeafMarket for the first time! I've just been using the small packs from groceries stores. Any suggestions on better roots? My microgreens look healthy, but they have very tiny roots
Depends on the variety. Some plants have tiny roots; peas have ginormous roots. If your root tips are healthy and white, and your greens look healthy and taste great: you're clearly doing something right! :)
Yes^ Exactly what she said! Your going to love buying seeds from them, much better quality then the seed packets from stores. 🥳
Thank you both! I got the seeds! It was lettuce with small roots that I was worried about. I got sunflower seeds, and the roots are shockingly thick
So no weight on top? And how to prevent the seeds from getting stuck on the top tray?
Thank you for watching Judith9110!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! This is a great observation...
🙂Cress seeds have two factors that alter our technique...they are delicate small seeds and they have that tacky like feeling...so we don't push down during germination and we mist the canopy to help soften and release the hulls.
What is the reason to use coco coir compared to soil?
I can't seem to get my microgreens that tall. Mind you I just started and I am on my 3 tray. I think I. Gonna get some different trays in using thing tiny green ones I got on Amazon. I tried trrrFiber on first 2 and it was horrible then switched to espoma and coco things went much better.
Yeah, we are not much of a fan of Terrafiber or a lot of the single use hydroponic mats. Coco or a good mesh has proven much better for us! Let us know if you have any issues still and we can do our best to help! If you ask a question through our website, we can get back to you much quicker! We get several thousand comments on social media every week so it is sometimes hard to get back :)
Can we eat microgreen of garden cress?
why is your coco coir so dry? And how much litre do you use for one tray? 2 litre?
seed hole?
DO u keep your lights on 24hrs a day?
17 hours on, 7 hours off!
What will happen if we don't use Ocean Solution?
Nothing bad... It grows really well without it, but it takes longer usually. We can grow like 40-50% faster by adding something to give the plants a boost. Its like drinking only water or drinking water and adding vitamins. We like adding vitamins! :)
I'm growing here cress but different ways then also mung sprouts , mustard , radish Fenugreek, berseem clover, rocket sprouts. please contact with me thanks
You didn't add weight on top?
I’ve tried growing cress twice but failed both times
💚Thank you so much for the sad "Cress" feedback story Cj Salvador! We appreciate the opportunity to get you "On The Grow" again...what is happening to your Cress crop??? Visit us also on FaceBook or Instagram...we can except pics on those areas!!
2 tbsp hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water might help with the seed hulls naturally coming off
Thank you so much for the Feedback Tee Cee! We appreciate your support! Tee Cee 😀We are so excited to announce that both our Microgreens Master Book and our first Microgreens Cookbook will be available very soon!
😃Please visit our new website at 0nthegrow.net for info and early sign up!!!
Why you don’t show broccoli????
We will make a video on it soon!!
Cant I just put them by a window. I dont have a truck.
🙂We run our lights on a 17hours ON and 7 hours OFF schedule and have had great success with that over the past year and a half! All you need is a safe location...
I think you'll find real cress tastes like a peppery plant
this is the wrong way of growing cress u should use less seeds. cress is a plant still growning along winter and in harvest u killed all the plants u must let the leaf in the center of plant to grow and u can harvest the same plants along the season and the leaves will become in different shape big and strong u can not imagine its shape u can eat cress with fish and bread
by the way when u grow cress in warm or hot wheather it goes directly to flowering so the people grow it in Winter for its leaves
