Sunflower Microgreen - No Soak Germination (Part 2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- 🤗This is Part 2 of our Sunflower No Soak germination test! ➡️In the previous video we wanted to see if we could get away with NO SOAKING and NO RINSING on Sunnies, but we didn't take it all the way to harvest day!
✅Which means in this video we we picked up where we left off, and took those beauties to harvest day to see if there was any other benefits from not soaking the seeds like we saw in Part 1.
Hope y'all enjoy our new video!!🌱👩🌾👨🌾
Since we're about to hit 30,000 subs, expect to see a video about moving the trailer for the first time! 🥳

That's it, I've watched too many of your videos not to start my own micro garden. Even if its just one wire rack in my room, I really want to try this. Plus I haven't worked in almost 2 months, and I NEED something positive to focus on. Thank you OTG you guys rock and I'm totally inspired.
thank you for sharing. it is very useful. Warm greetings from Oncu Farm in Indonesia.😊👍🏼
good video.😊
Keren sekali semaiannya ya.
Greetings from Boston. You guys are the only micro growers that i feel like i can relate to. Keep up the good work👏👏👏
You two are literally changing lives. We are super charging our diet following your recommendations, trials and lessons. So grateful for you both! Thanks again!
Thanks for this no soak evidence this will save me time.
I had hesitate to jump in to sunflower microgreen. But after watching this video 20 (?) times taking note I am ready to try. Thank you.
Thank you for the videos once again, I always enjoy them. I will try a no-soak to compare with my current sunflower yields which are good -- averaging 500g in 8.5x14" trays for 155g (dry weight) of seed. My soaking method is 12h in cold 5.8ph water followed by 1-2h 1.5% Hydrogen Peroxide. Then a quick rinse and lay out on top of one inch+ of coir padded down quite firmly. I put a LDPE chopping board, a std. red brick and a towel on top. The brick is removed once everything has pushed up 3/4 to an inch. The chopping board is removed at about 1 1/2 inches and the towel replaced with an inverted gravel tray. At about day 5 or 6 (depending on how warm the trays have been during germination) I put them under the light for a day 9 or 10 harvest. The cut length is around 3". I only get a smattering of red on the stalks so I'm still working on improving that. All the best and thanks again! (edit: watering is twice daily at 6.2ph. Misting until roots show, then mist and bottom water for a day, then bottom watering only)
Absolutely brill and useful information, thank you!
Only one word....WOW !
Still tryin’ wrap my brain around this - wow!!!
amazing video.👍🏼
This video series looks like it will be such a game changer for me . I usually soaked more than 8 hours 😕. I just received a new order of sunflower today, will definitely be doing my own experiment.
Would be good to know your outcome C Jenn
@@alisongardner7476 It worked out great, I would actually say that it turned out better for me without soaking. I don't do large scale microgreens growing, but I keep a constant rotation of at least 2 small trays that usually includes sunflower. This video was definitely on point.
Yay! So glad to hear that!! 🤗🌱🌱
On the tray you didn’t soak, are you still using a hydrogen peroxide spritz to kill mold or is it not needed?
High quality seeds, no doubt.
Surprising results. Saves time to not have to soak. I'll keep an eye on my results.
Good information.
Love the video. Why did you only soak the seeds for an hour? I thought that 8 hours was what you were doing. I might have missed a video in between the sunflower walkthrough and this. Absolutely love you guys! My grow was made with basically your videos
Love you guys
Nice, going to seed a tray in the morning using the no soak, thanks guys!!
Have you repeated this experiment to see if you get the same results? How about trying different soaking times (1 hour, 4 hours, 8 hours, etc...) with no soaking to compare results? Also comparing all of these with or without hydrogen peroxide? I'm about to start my first batch of sunflower seeds and am going to try the no soak method. Thanks for all the great videos and inspiration and information! Super grateful!
Have you ever done weed micro seeds? Road trip!
Wow! Thanks for this experiment! Gonna try no soak next tray :)
You reuse your soil after harvesting? If yes, make a video about how you recycle the soil.
I think they have mentioned on other videos that they compost it to reuse in the garden but not for microgreens.
Regarding the growing guides at your web-site: It would be useful to know the average yield in grams per tray for the various crops. Thanks for one of the best hydroponic web-sites on the net!.Congratulations!
This is fantastic! I'm just about to start my first batch of microgreens & was trying to decide if I should do cilantro or sunflower seeds. I'm doing sunflower, now that I know I don't have to soak them! Yum!
Thanks for the part 2 of your test! Glad to see that no soak provided greater result than the soaked one. One less step to do now. Is your trailer's temperature managed by a/c or just recirculate the air inside with fans and dehumidifier?
i'd like to see a 1 hr soak vs an 8 hr vs 12 and 24
Thank you for your video's. We have started growing a little over a week ago and soaked our sunflowers. We want to try it without soaking. I was told sunflowers can be very dirty seeds. So you not only didn't soak them, but you didn't wash them either, is that correct? We purchased our seeds from TrueLeaf as well and it seems the seeds are pretty clean from them. Do you spray them with hydrogen Peroxide at all when watering them on day one?
Loved this test! Thank you! I’m wondering how often you watered these since planting? Did you top water or bottom water?
Very cool! I'm excited to try no soak. Would love to see an experiment comparing sunflower no soak, soak 1 hour, soak 4 hour, and soak 8 hour
Interesting! Thanks I will try 😊
Thanks you for this definitely going to not soak mine
What temperature do you grow at?
I'm having problems with inconsistent germination from the sunflower seeds. I'm soaking them and pre-sprouting them because I had so many that didn't germinate last time.
My first batch of seed from True Leaf Market were terrible ( uneven germination, seed hull not falling off, low yield, mold ). My second batch of seed from True Leaf Market were perfect no issues at all with the exact same growing method. It's out of your control so you need some luck when it comes to seeds.
Thank you!
Thanks for the interesting experiment.
Never been first before! :-) So have we all been wrong taking the advice to soak sunflowers the whole time? I'm growing sunflowers for the first time, and on day 6 mine look like your day 2. I'm wondering if it's because of temperature. What temp do you keep your environment??
Love your guys's channel! can you do a sunflower walkthrough video with the no soak method? or is it the same as that video on your channel minus soaking time?
Great suggestion! We are actually working on that this week since our method has changed quite a bit! Thanks for the support!!
Love, love, love your vids! You both have answered a lot of my questions about growing microgreens at home with great demonstrations. I have one question about this trial: did you use your usual food grade peroxide treatment to prevent fungus when you did this trial? I have read a couple of studies about how H2O2 can help germination in several ways. I'm going to have to try a few experiments of my own in my new century victory garden. Thank you for sharing.
I had a lot of the red stem on my sunflowers but they have kind of an off metallic taste to me at the finish. at first it tasted kind of like a snap pea but had a weird aftertaste. I hope they don't have that taste and I just got a 5 pound bag and they aren't something I will actually eat.
What do you think? Halppppp
Do you still grow your sunflowers with the "No Soak" method? I have never tried, but I do see how it will help reduce mold. Thank you.
Yes, we do!
Amazing! Thanks so much for doing this, you guys are the best! #citygirlgreens
what if we soak it for 8 hours
I'm shocked you got better growth from no soak but when I don't soak the seeds they barely germinate.
Hai dears,
In kuwait i searched for hydrogen peroxide food grade, but 6% is only available and in that bottle no food grade details mentioned too.
And in your videos 2 Tbsp HP for 1 litre water so can you please brief my question below
1. What is your hydrogen peroxide percentage?
2.Can i use my HP 6% for my microgreens? If yes. Let me know the ratio?
3. Is there is any other solution or homemade ideas for prevent fungal infections for sunnies and pea shoots?
Note : i have small kid and my microgreens are growing in indoor.so i am fear about fungal issues.
I highly appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance
Top water?
WOW!!! 8-0

Thanks for much for your comparison videos, they've saved me a ton of mistakes!
🙂Glad we could help and save you hard cash on the way Sacredtools.net ~ Clairvoyant Readings
🙂Have you signed up for our Master Class yet? Please get ready to take advantage of all the information we've assembled for you!!!
Are you quite certain it wasn't because the tray was PINK that they grew better?? Very interesting to note the results.
Thank you
After multiple tries, ive found that a 4 hrs soak, followed by draining, rinsing, and 30-36 hrs of jar sprouting (rinsing 2x/dy) in a dark cupboard is just enough for the tips to appear. This partial pre-sprouting shaves a full 1.5 days off of the subsequent blackout time . . . and shorter blackout means less time for the fluff mold to grow.
It took 4 tries, but I finally achieved my first near PERFECT 1020 tray of sunflower shoots (from memory, I think my yield was 560 gr.
BTW, culinary tip: sunflower shoots have a special flavor affinity for Thai Peanut Sauce.
Thanks, I'm 5 hours into soaking sunflower seeds now. I will try this next time!
You guys are so awesome! I watched all your videos and learned so much from you. Keep it up!! Please do a video on cleaning and maintaining trays. Cheers!
Are you still growing without rinsing ? 3 months later
Yes we are!
😊 thank you for all education. Ready to tray this. Just ordered seeds from true leaf market. 🍃 crossing fingers.
Hi. Thanks for all the help y’all provide. I was wondering, what the percentage of hydrogen peroxide is being used?
Hey guys, I really love your channel, it's pretty much the only channel that I watch for Microgreens nowadays. I was curious how many hours it takes y'all to maintain your garden everyday.
Классный эксперимент 👍 я ищо от плесени перекись применяю .
Keep on Be-Leafing!!
I just got my tunnel tent green house out up it is so exciting to get to plant and no deer get them
Yay! Deer can be a problem for your plants! But, they sure are beautiful! We are so happy to hear your plants now have a safe place to grow!😊
Nebee Microgreens grower warning!!!! Is there a medium I can use in hydroponic growing that can be reusable? THANX!!! Incredible site! :-)
LOVE this video! My sunflowers turned mouldy even with H2O2 spraying everyday. I am going to try the no soak method. thank you so much
Great video as usual! Where can I get one of your cotyledon sleeveless tank??
I gave you a like for giving me a choice.
That is incredible!
Thank you so much for doing all this tests and showing them to the world. Im starting my own microgreen business and all the info you have given to me has saved me a lot of trials and errors. You guys rock!
