Keep the cooking part of your videos coming! Clients are always asking me new ways to use microgreens and this sounds great. Until my Shiso gets here, I'm going to try it with some radish for a little kick!
@@OnTheGrow I'm struggling getting the seed shell to shed from my beets and cilantro. They stay on and I have to remove them by hand. Do you have any advice?
Thank you so much for the support Mike! We are finally getting settled and it feels really good! Excited to share our outdoor garden with everyone soon! 🤗🌱🌱
Thank you so much for all of your videos! I love that you show the entire process that goes into growing microgreens, and that you quantify all of your methods through running different experiments. It's really refreshing to see channels that both produce great content, but also backed up with scientific observations! :) I will definitely be trying out that recipe too :D
Thank you so much for your support Jessica! We do our best to help people get a good baseline for growing! We’d love to see microgreens everywhere 🤗🌱🌱 The recipe was delicious! 🤤 We appreciate your support!!
I was having problems with my broccoli microgreens after the blackout period. Always without fail, a small portion of my greens would stop growing and become stagnate with a withering look. I checked underneath the tray to see if the roots were brown, nothing there. So I took a chance by adding more water (1 cup, instead of 1/2) to the bottom tray both day and night along with spraying the top. To my surprise, they started growing taller but the part that was stunted didn't come back fully. The funny thing is I wrote down all the steps from beginning to end, including the amount of water to add each day from the video. But I guess it comes down to the environment, lighting, and temperature as they all can vary from house to house. After trial and error, I finally got a good harvest this time around. Sometimes we have to make modifications based on our space and environment. Anyway, I just want to share this as it might help someone who's having the same issue or similar.
I always loved Shiso leaves when it was served with my sashimi, now I have a pack of the seeds due in today so I can grow the microgreens. I love these! Thank you Mandi and CJ for all the effort you guys put in to bring this info to us. 💜🌱 Oh, the onion. I tried all that stuff and it didn't work for me. Bread in the mouth, candle burning, etc. The only thing that works (for me anyway) is I wear contact lenses- no more Niagara Falls when cutting onions
Thank you just started my microgreens to add to my perennial/cut flower business for a winter project. Hopefully it takes off for all year around! I have never even heard of Shiso microgreens. Love the color! Many people do not even know what microgreens are in my area, so it will also be challenging to educate customers. 💐
guys, i am going HAM and turning my closet into a farm. OTG has been my primary inspiration and resource to order everything on amazon to get started. I will report back on progress later.
Excited to hear how your first grows turn out!! Closet farms are fun 😆 When you get finished setting it up, send us a picture on Instagram! We’d love to see how it turns out!! 🤗🌱🌱
Thanks for including a practical recipe for these microgreens at the end. Hope to see more recipes in future videos. Thanks for all you do to produce great quality videos!
How you guys, I think it's great that you are now taking the micro greens from harvest to the kitchen 🥪 ... I look forward to seeing more of what you guys do with your micro greens... By the way, CJ does a great job with the camera moving around and Catching that shots at great angles 📸📲 😄👍🏼
Happy to see ya back cause I got addicted to your videos! I love Shiso and asian cooking in general, so happy to see you do a grow. HEY I tried my own Sunnies experiment where I am comparing no soak, soak, and soak + sprout in colander (like True Leaf's videos say to do). I'm getting the same results as you, no soak is turning out the best! Colander sprout works better than soaking alone but no soak is still the best.
Here in the UK we like egg mayo + cress sandwiches so I usually use my cress microgreens that way. I never really considered mixing them with tuna - nice tip! Love your enthusiasm and joy for what you do
Thank you so much for the support TrickyTriforce!! We're making new content soon! 😄 😀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 onthegrow.net for info and early sign up!!!
I love the incorporation of a recipe! I just placed my order to get supplies to grow my own microgreens, so it'll be great to know different ways to use them.
I 've seen on occasion ... growers using the 2.5 inch deep trays for certain microgreens. can you explain why ? what method and what crop would benefit from the deeper trays?
Just a few months to go before this channel marks its 1 year anniversary Have learnt a lot from these guys very helpful, kind and generous Lots of love from Australia 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
First..Y'all are awesome! Second..Nobody should buy the microgreens starter kits from Lowes. They suck so bad! I'll just have to find me a space somewhere in this over packed house and do it your way. BUT..I did just get my tomatoes and peppers planted outside so I'm super stoked about that!
I really like the fact that coir changes color. It makes it much easier to know when to water. I have tried Microgreens in a seedling mix along with veggie seedlings. I kept missing dry down because the seedling mix is black wet or dry...
Love the content of this video including the recipe. Put onion in freezer for about 10 minutes and cut from the bottom are both supposed to help with the onion smell. They really affect my eyes too.
Where did you get that stainless steal setup, also do you have a video on your trailer setup. Looks pretty amazing. You have a ac ontop of roof keeping everything cool?
Hello 🍀 I have been trying to grow red Shiso microgreens , them tiny tiny seeds, I wonder if theres a big difference between those, do you know how to grow them,? Very thankful for your help. Great videos!!!. Bye from Sweden🇸🇪
Question: What go-to books would you recommend for both microgreen and general gardening? What resources got you guys started? Thanks for you help in everything!
Just started my first two trays. I am mimicking your setup with trays, rack, fans, etc. Seeds from Trueleafmarket. Coco Coir is the medium. Following your how to's. Day 5, salad mix looking good so far. Broccoli Waltham 29 day 5 has a softball sized dead spot and lots of visible seeds that did not germinate. I used 28grams as seed density. Maybe that's too much for a beginner. Sad, throwing it out. Starting a new broccoli tray with 25 grams seed density. Lets see how it goes. Quick question, after breaking a coco coir brick down in water it can be quite damp, how damp do you guys have your coco coir when you seed? In this video it looked pretty dry.
Awesome video I found a new hobby thanks to you guys! However for future inspired viewers the shiso sold at trueleaf does not taste like Japanese sushi bar shiso, just fair warning. It maybe Korean green shiso.
Hey nice butcher block in your new kitchen! Jealous! There are two tricks that work for onions. One is, if you have a gas stove, cut the onions right next to a lit burner. A candle is insufficient for this job. The other is, take the compost out right away and clean up with 20% vinegar water - Keep a sprayer and wipe your counters & blocks - it cleans, sanitizes and deodorizes.
in the "OceanSolution" (2-0-3) what does those numbers mean? the ratio of each one of the components? sorry im kinda bit new to this, altought i enjoy watching this videos a lot, if someone would help me figure this out it'll be much appreciated
one more question, why does some plants needs to be watered under the tray (where the roots are) almost every day, and for example for this, they only get watered on theyr medium or "soil" and only once on the tray of the roots. Sorry for asking these, maybe someone would find those really basic things, but im new into this, and i would love to know more about this kind of this, so, thank you.
Yes, we water during blackout, 2 times a day, being careful not to overwater. 😊 Shinosuke Nohara Have you signed up for our Master Class yet? Please get ready to take advantage of all the information we've assembled for you!!!
I got a Shiloh seeds and I tried many ways to grow them as you do but they didnt germinate and I tried another way by soaking but it germinate just a little of them
Sometimes it can be the seeds. We've had some success with germinating in a pH balanced water as it could be the water that is messing up the germination.
Thank you for watching Megan Tousignant!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Those chefs know everything about crying!!! Hopefully we can put more tears in their eyes when we teach more recipes to folks!!!😄
Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Sometimes it can be the seeds or the water source... too much chlorine and it can kill off the seeds. Try buying a bottle of distilled or spring water and try using that in a spray bottle and see if it helps at all. It could also be what you are growing it on... if you're using a soil or something, try growing them on a paper-towel and see if you are able to get any germination. It can also be temperature... anywhere too cold or with too much airflow can stop or dramatically slow the germination process. Try putting them in a warm spot if possible like near a light source or on a heatmat. We use a heatmat for tricky crops in the winter when the ambient temperature in our growspace drops to 65-73 from the 75-85 in the summer. Hope that helps!!
Keep the cooking part of your videos coming! Clients are always asking me new ways to use microgreens and this sounds great. Until my Shiso gets here, I'm going to try it with some radish for a little kick!
Thank you for giving us recipes to use with the microgreens. You guys rock!!!
Thank you so much for the support!!

6:38 Love the sound effect! :).
Your kitchen is so uncluttered! Love it!
DAMN! Every time I see your trailer setup I think" HOW great is that!"
I wanna play around with it more too! I’d love to get some more additions to it soon like solar panels 😆 Thanks for the support Frank!

Love the “cooking” portion! Great 👍
Thank you so much for the support!! We are going to do our best to do a recipe or two with every crop to help provide a little inspiration! 🤗🌱🌱
guys, i am going HAM and turning my closet into a farm. OTG has been my primary inspiration and resource to order everything on amazon to get started. I will report back on progress later.
Don't forget it needs fresh air circulating to get rid of the humidity. Or you can buy a dehumidifier.
Excited to hear how your first grows turn out!! Closet farms are fun 😆 When you get finished setting it up, send us a picture on Instagram! We’d love to see how it turns out!! 🤗🌱🌱
On The Grow will do. Don’t worry, I have a dehumidifier.
Glad to see youre back . Thanks for all the wonderful and informative content really helps me out a lot!!!!!

Another great musical intro, grow info & recipe. Thank you!💚
I missed you guys! Great video, nice Tal Bachman and Jurrasic Park jokes Mandi. Tuna salad looks delicious!

I'd have to put some 🥓 Bacon and hot sauce on that gorgeous sandwich .... but she's so Amazing. Love this channel 😍💟👍😎💪
Nice video and lovely looking snack... nice to see you back since the move. well done you two !! :-)
Thank you so much Mark!! The yogurt parfait was so good 😆! We really appreciate your support! 🤗🌱🌱
Read the title and the first song that popped in my head was Matchbox Twenty's "She's So Mean."
Pressed play then Tal Bachman came up.
LMAO

Thank you Dennis!! It was surprisingly great! We hope all is well with you 🤗🌱🌱

Poor CJ! Let the man eat! Great video and I love the addition of the recipe at the end. Job well done.
Love this channel so much. Ive already learned so much. I dont have 10x20 trays but Im ising what I got. My beets are putting the radicals out 🥳
That’s so exciting!! You don’t need 10x20s to start, using what you got is perfect!! Excited to hear how your grow goes! 🤗🌱🌱
Idea: another channel where you do microgreen (or ?) recipes!!
Awesome, just ordered those earlier today! Thanks for the video!
I'm salivating throughout the video... Coz I love shiso
thank you so much for the recipe, always looking for more ways to use micro greens
You are both as sweet and great as shiso !!! 😃🌱🌱
I 've seen on occasion ... growers using the 2.5 inch deep trays for certain microgreens. can you explain why ? what method and what crop would benefit from the deeper trays?
This is amazing

How frequently do u do sanitation and how?
What do you do with the left-over tray? Do shiso grow again? If so, how many times?
I have a question what do u do with the Coco coir growing medium after the harvest, is it not reusable?
like!
Did you put them in the fridge before this? 🤔
Do you have a watering cycle for all the 7 days ?
Hey nice butcher block in your new kitchen! Jealous!
There are two tricks that work for onions. One is, if you have a gas stove, cut the onions right next to a lit burner. A candle is insufficient for this job.

Thank you so much!! We really appreciate that tip and your support! We’ve been loving them so far 😆 excited to try out the 20% vinegar spray!
Does the knife come with a sheath?
I don't see the link to the knife you used.
How much do you sell a tray of these to your clients ?
Hot damn honey tell me about those microgreens.

Hello
I have the same problem today. Have you found a solution ??
Sometimes it can be the seeds. We've had some success with germinating in a pH balanced water as it could be the water that is messing up the germination.
A chef told me "leave the butt on" if you don't want to cry.
Thank you for watching Megan Tousignant!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Those chefs know everything about crying!!! Hopefully we can put more tears in their eyes when we teach more recipes to folks!!!😄
Hi everyone
I ´ve tryed shiso but after 10 days there is no germination !!!
