I have my first tray of a salad mix started. This video is a great step by step demo!
Great video for those starting or interested in this. I've started growing slightly before the start of the 2020 pandemic and it's been a success. I've planted so many varieties. They are SO EASY to grow, and so valuable for their cost. They taste great, and if you tell family and friends that you grow them, word gets out and sooner than later you have a few restaurants trying to reach out to get some. One of the most profitable and easiest side businesses I've ever seen. And all you need is a shelf, some USB powered fans, and some T8 lights = no need to get fancy greenhouse fans OR grow lights if on a budget. I've planted so many trays and never had one fail.
Try compacting the soil for a change, you may be surprised with the results😉 Also soaking any large seeds for 24-48h will help a lot to boost germination.
Thanks for the tip!
i have not tried this myself but have seen it before, and appreciate the step by step demonstration. Got me interested.
great straight to the point microgreen video!
Growing Purple Sango Radish, Brocoli and Spicy Salad Mix right now. Alfalfa Sprouts as well because they're fast to grow. I use coco coir exclusively as its clean and never have fungus gnats in there. I've used pro mix and without sterilization they are present. Pepper plants I can spray them off, microgreens they go in the compost.
AWESOME, thanks for this. I actually like to do my salad/greens in slightly cooler places (My grow lights are also in my basement) and I typically do heat mats under most seeds starting, but not on my salad greens, etc.I leave the heat mats for peppers and tomato, that prefer warmer soils.
Thanks for the encouragement. Going plant mine today
What does the stacking do for the seeds? Good video and great timing, just started to grow microgreens
Stacking with weights helps to simulate the seeds being underground for a strong start. So, they have to push up through that weight. Stacking (and weighting) is also optional, but recommended. Good luck with your greens!
@@geekygreenhouse thank you for the explanation! ♥️
considering doing this, this winter. Any tips for the trays after you harvest? Is it a purge and replace sort of deal or do some seedlings regenerate?
The soil from the trays goes right into our raised beds for spring !
Id like to grow them for my hamster. Do they affect fungus gnats or spider mites? I have a lot of tropical plants and these 2 pests are a near constant battle.
Fungus gnats can happen. But, the turnaround time with microgreens is pretty fast. After harvesting - be sure not keep any soil-filled trays hanging around your plants. A fan also helps. We also have some videos on our Pepper Geek channel that can help you get rid of the gnats and mites on your tropical plants :)
