    I started out trying many different types before sticking with these varieties:
    -Mustard (Wasabi)
    -Broccoli (Raab)
    -Radish (Daikon)
    -Radish (Kaiware)
    -Buckwheat
    -Cress (“Curly”)
    -Lentil (Crimson, Black and Green [All very bitter I should’ve stopped after trying the crimson])
    -Corn (“Popcorn”)
    -Fenugreek
    -Red Clover
    -Basil (Purple and Genovese Sweet)
    -Parsley (Hilmar)
    -Kale (Winterbor)

I've never seen lentils grown as microgreens. You're growing them as microgreens, not sprouts right?

    I do have a question when you are selling let’s say at farmers markets are there in your shop; do you offer pamphlets or flyers on the varieties or recipes? I can imagine folks not knowing what to do with the greens other than throw them in a salad. That’s why I ask.

    Can you add nutrient value for each microgreen variety; pea, amaranth, broccoli...? Those that grow microgreens say how healthy but never give data behind it. How many ounces should we eat a day? Health enthusiasts on UA-cam say we should eat 5oz to 7 oz of mixed greens a day. I would think we would need to eat half that amount if we consumed microgreens.

      Wow thats a lot of space! 150-200 trays would be a ton of food haaha. I'm currently doing 132 trays/week. For the sunflowers I don't put anything over them. What I do instead is I top water so the seeds get wet and then I brush them with my hands each day to physically knock most of the seeds off. What have you been doing to get the seeds off? You put plastic over them?

Also.. about the lighting.. i look at city-hydro in baltimore he has been growing for 6 or 7 yrs... uses coconut coir ... other medium but my issue is he recommends led lights with 5000 or 5500 k where do i get those? Can you help me with that??? And about the trays ... where can i buy them that are food safe??

    Hi Donny. Love your videos. They have helped a lot. I do live in a semi-arid area so thinking I may need to mist or water 2x day on extra warm days. Do you find that to be true for your crops some days? Also as far as dun peas go, do you grow them hydroponically ? I seem to be finding more videos for growing them that way. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    I've just started my microgreens business, kind of difficult in Ontario where they have us all locked up!! I am growing sunnies, green pea, ruby stem radish, broccoli and arugula. So far so good. It seems my greens are shorter than yours, I think it must be the temperature of the grow room. Mine is a little on the cool side between 69-71. Thanks for the awesome vids. Sunnies are my favourite so far. Arugula yuck! But I.m sure it's good in a salad or something?

Hippocrates Health Institute is a great resource and has tons of this information, so go dig around their site and content. Another great resource is Dr. Rhonda Patrick is another fantastic resource for this type of information and she also digs deep on broccoli microgreens and the health benefits of sulforaphane.

      Yeah sunflowers are a pain but well worth it for my business. I find soaking for only 4 hours and making sure to brush the top of the plants with my hands each day to knock the hulls is a tremendous help. Arugula are awesome, I grew a few trays when I first started but I found that they were a bit tricky to grow, especially because they stay so small! Do yours get tall like the other microgreens?

    • @joealvarez6916
      @joealvarez6916 4 роки тому

      @@DonnyGreens They are definitely not as tall as radish or sunnies, but 3 days stacked and 2 days in blackout get them to about 1.5 inches. If they get much taller than that they tend to fall over easily. I use electric shearers to make quick work of the harvest. I will tag you on insta in a video I made about harvesting.

    Mainly, just because it sounded good and was a great variety at a great $... but going w/ your suggestions shortly after, but adding Sesame, #117 Shirogoma and going w/ Green Arrow peas instead of your suggested pea which I did not find. Alo a different radish variety... I think is similar in that it has the red/pink stem w/ green leaves and I like a slightly floral taste which it's supposed to have.
    But this is my 1st go at microgreens so probably gonna stumble some.
