well, am not sure this is 're-grow' but if i've put in too many seeds in 4x4 container, sometimes it seems there are unsprouted seeds that WILL grow if given time.
I cut my pea microgreens just above the bottom leaf nodes, and they grow back perfectly well a second, third, and even fourth time. It's a great way to harvest more nutrients from seeds, saving costs and even time that would be spent germinating new seeds. But I've only tried this with speckled pea shoots grown for personal use.
Thank you for this video. This popped up in my feed. And today I harvested pea shoots & noticed there were little leaves on the shoots. So I was like I’m going to see if I can get another harvest. I just started growing Microgreens for the first time for home use a few weeks ago. Thanks for the confirmation ❤️
I've noticed lentil micro greens produce a second set of leaves... but I'll just plant new lentils because I like a luscious harvest. Thanks for the info!
It depends on what kind of microgreens. If you cut the cotyledon of the microgreen, there is no way it can regrow. But this does not apply to peas. As long as you leave some buds on the stems, pea microgreens will regrow.
I compost it and it gets reused in the garden. I have a podcast episode about this with other alternative ideas for getting rid of the soil. Type in the microgreens entrepreneur podcast, and go to episode 17
If you plant them farther spaced out and let them go to flower (grow them a lot longer) you should get seeds that way. Always depends on the plant tho! :)
I grew fenugreek in a tray with cocopeat coir.. put weight on it, they grew well, but in the 7th day, the leaves began to rot at one spot in the middle of the tray and that patch grew bigger and bigger... They were slimy and weren't having any mould. I had kept it in open air and spraying very minimum water daily on them.. They were healthy until this rot happened. Any idea why
It sounds like a case of damping off, and the main issue here is that the greens in the middle of your tray might have been left too wet for too long. This could be caused by many different reasons. The seeds might have been planted too densely or the climatic conditions might not have been right. If airflow in the place you are growing is not very good you will get this problem, also if humidity is really high you will get this problem. I do a podcast too, you can get it here microgreensentrepreneur.com/podcast For this problem, the episodes I recommend you listen to are episode 10 and episode 62, I think they will help you a lot more than what I can write here.
I have some microgreens that do very well and others lie down after they get a certain height or they get tangled up. How do you get your radish to grow so straight? Mine got all tangled up, as some didn't grow straight.
Hey Mark, I think the sun is an essential part of the process, and without it being absorbed by the leaves, the food in the ground won't be able to be used by the plants.
hi! I wish to only prune Amaranth when they grow too tall. Its for aesthetic purposes not really consumption. I have an idea to put them in my paludarium. Is this an impossible idea? just pruning but leaving leaves for some photosynthesis. Please let me know
@@brianfaulkner2840 thanks so much for getting back. All bought and harvested first crop today. Thanks for the heads up on your soil supply also. Collected as delivery was huge. All the best Phil

Are you going to try and regrow your microgreens? Or have you had success regrowing any other varieties of microgreens I didn't mention?
I was primarily thinking about testing on pea shoots. Cutting them as you describe for personal use and use organic feed and see results.
@@mywaterponics3986 ahh sorry, I get you. Possibly, I haven't tried it myself, if you try it I'd love to hear the results!
@@brianfaulkner2840 will do.
So basically microgreens are not sustainable. Once you are out of seeds then that's it.

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. NO ONE WILL ANSWER THIS!!

Very scientific answer finally I got for why they wont regrow

👍
Thank you! Have pea shoots ready to harvest today, i will cut above the last lead and see how it goes
Hey Brian, very much enjoying your podcast! Just ordered seeds & seed trays for a few hunderd euro’s. Mood: stressed, but it’s on! 😬❤️
Haha great stuff Anne, the best of luck with it, hope it goes well :)
Question: if it can't be regrown. what do you do with all those soil?
I compost it and it gets reused in the garden. I have a podcast episode about this with other alternative ideas for getting rid of the soil. Type in the microgreens entrepreneur podcast, and go to episode 17
Where do the seeds come from if they aren't able to regrow?
If you plant them farther spaced out and let them go to flower (grow them a lot longer) you should get seeds that way. Always depends on the plant tho! :)
Have a question and we use new seed should we use new soil too?
This was very helpful information. 👍
Great 😁
Lentils also regrow.
But the taste is terrible, quite earthy, like a rusted nail. And also hard and chewy...

Master, apart from pea shoots and wheat grass, what types of microgreens can you grow again?
so if that is the problem, can I water roots again with water rich with nutrients? (such as used in hydroponics)
What happens if you fertilize after cutting?
I reside in a small apt. Can I reuse the soil?? Thanks for your wisdom!!
I do. I do add alittle fertilizer to the mix. There are videos of people growing micro greens on paper towels but I have never tryed.
I have some microgreens that do very well and others lie down after they get a certain height or they get tangled up. How do you get your radish to grow so straight? Mine got all tangled up, as some didn't grow straight.
After harvesting can I put that old soil in the compost? Or I can’t use the soil again at all?
what is the point of growing micri greens if they dont re grow?
Could you add a food for them on 2 and 3 grow to help?
Hey Mark, I think the sun is an essential part of the process, and without it being absorbed by the leaves, the food in the ground won't be able to be used by the plants.
