Interesting, I found a paper towel base with soaked seeds 2x a day in berry containers on a plastic tray perfect for growing. It's super cheap. This was interest with the core. Blessings
I just ignored rule no. 1 and mixed potting soil with the coconut coir and ruined my pea shoots microgreens! it was covered in mold, now I know the reason thank you so much Jag! you are the reason I have started growing microgreens at home!
This was an awesome video. You broke it down to the most basic needs! You stayed to the point and described everything very clearly. I'm quite confident that you could show this to an 8 year old, they would be able to successfully grow some micro greens. Bravo. You put a lot of work into your videos. Now to grow some micro greens!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Tips 👍 Though, I've been growing microgreens in potting soil and also universal substrate and I've never had a problem with mould. You will get mould on everything if you overwater it, even on coconut coir. The aeration tip is the key 🙂 Thank you for very informative content
Oh yay...Jag you're back. Nice to hear from you again. Another great vid, love microgreens and been wanting to start growing. Hope the farm is going well for you. Im guessing it has been and you're super busy hence long time between vids. Stay safe and healthy. 🙏👍🍃
@@cannotbeshaken7889 I literally get a mason jar and some lids with holes and put the seeds in the jar for 24 hours. Then each day I pour water into the jar and then drain after about 1 minute. Repeat and rinse each day and the seedlings sprout.
@@thevinufernando981 Sorry, just saw this message. I literally get a mason jar and some lids with holes and put the seeds in the jar for 24 hours. Then each day I pour water into the jar and then drain after about 1 minute. Repeat and rinse each day and the seedlings sprout.
Some good ideas. Ive had mold a couple times now. So cut back on the water. Only every other day and spray ..... Maybe only 3 days of darkness and put into the light. Airflow I could try too.
👌😊...THANK YOU! I didn't know what I was doing when I started growing Wheatgrass with your Wheatgrass video 7 Months ago....then I started MIcrogreens using potting soil stinky, Now after this Vid I proudly sport COCO COIR!!!! noticed a difference immediately..
Very informative video. A couple of questions: How long do they need to be under weight and in the dark? And if using a growing light, how many hours a day?
Thank you for this video. I have a question. What do you think of hemp mats in place of coconut coir? I have had great success with hemp mats that fit in 10 x 20 trays. But I have never tried coconut coir. Maybe the coconut is better? Maybe the coconut is less expensive? What is your opinion? And I am asking the readers here as well. Thank you!
I don't understand the part about the pressure and darkness from the plant pot helping the roots grow, but you need light. That must be in sequence, but I didn't hear anything about when to switch.
good information. I have everything I need right here and now to grow greens using this method. Shall be doing this today. I started some last week in little trays lined with medium sized hydroton clay pebbles on a masterblend solution...just experimenting I'll also try the paper towel method ..never know until we try.....I do like the coco coir idea, just feel that the single use coir will become costly. Putting a weight on the trays...Ive not heard of that and best of all...the "why" we should. Totally makes sense. All in all, great info, love your explanation. cheers
I have had success with microgreens thanks to your video, Jag! Regarding coco coir, once I am done harvesting the shoots, can I reuse it or should I compost it? I don't have a compost bin. Can I just put the used coco coir in my backyard/garden?
I can't tell you just how grateful for this!!! Thank You! My daughter and I lost the 2 most important people in our lives just a few days apart. Covid and a drunk driver. A few days later our cat passed. So called family I didn't know I had LOVINGLY came to see me for a week. They just forgot to tell me they took both safes from my house when they left. So a bunch of heartache later we lost our home with a 3700 balance left. All the memories and the safety and security was gone. We are very blessed to be in little rental and I am very grateful. But instead of a backyard with rich soil plants flowers worms and butterflies.....Our backyard is now a slab of concrete. Lol The first was my daughters 8th Birthday I purchased a puppy with what little I had trying to bring her smile back and mend her heartache. After 8 hours of waiting, supplies and a very happy girl..... We then realized we had been scammed. I didn't do my diligence I was just so excited I could afford it and AAAHHHHH. KEEPING FAITH IN MY LORD AND SAVIOR 🙏 I think he's telling me plants are a better way to go as long as we don't name them. Lol All that pity to say I have everything this takes other than the seeds!!! So Microgreens Compost Bin and Worm Farming in now the goal. You have made this a realistic thing for us THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Thanks for the video! Great tips !!! Does anyone know how to solve the problem with small white flies that attack my micro greens, but without chemistry !! Thank you guys!
It depending any mold or fungus was in it. If it even happened once throw it out. If a plant never germinated, you can still use it. If you pull sprouts out you can still use it. I generally don't use it afterwards if it isn't the things listed above because it's just tedious to take out all the roots. If the coco fiber is consistently wet I wouldn't reuse it. The tips o listed I generally use for normal planting in pots with humidity domes, not hydroponics or micro greens. You should add cinnamon to your fiber so mold will be discouraged from growing. Hydrogen peroxide can kill anything organic living in the soil like mites, mold, fungus gnats but it will also kill beneficial organisms that eat mites, mold, etc. Hope this helps
I wish I watched this video earlier, today I bought soil to grow my microgreens indoor. Nobody explained the possability of fungus growing from soil. thank you.
Hi Jag, thank you this video. Very informative. I like to grow organic flat parsley for myself. As you know organic microgreen seeds are very expensive. Have you ever tried to grow microgreen parsleys? I need all kind of information. Thank you. Subscribed
1 more criteria. Temperature. If its too hot & humid it will experience stunted growth. What I observe was on day 3 to 7 it did not shoot up taller. Everybody was showing their tray of microgreen. So I took the tray & left it outside the house & it shot to 14 inches much to everyone surprise. Harvesting was 3x.
great video, lots of useful tips. question: when do we remove the clay pot weights covering the seeds trying to sprout? i am looking forward to getting my microgreen game on.
Well…this 73 year old great grandmother had a hard time focusing on his demonstration. Why? Pretty obvious. Too beautiful!
Interesting, I found a paper towel base with soaked seeds 2x a day in berry containers on a plastic tray perfect for growing. It's super cheap. This was interest with the core. Blessings
Thank you Jag, this was very helpful. I finally know why coconut coir is so important. It's a sterile medium. No fungus.
I just ignored rule no. 1 and mixed potting soil with the coconut coir and ruined my pea shoots microgreens! it was covered in mold, now I know the reason thank you so much Jag! you are the reason I have started growing microgreens at home!

@@Livetoeat171 mould is the same as mold. It is used in the UK, Canada and Australia.
i use coco coir and SEA-90 trace minerals, so you get the added trace minerals in your food...
Thank you Jag, you inspired me to grow microgreens last year! Thank you for inspiring for healthy life!
I am a new gardener this year and man your advice had help me so much. love your positive energy and vibe.
Jag! Good to see you again!
Been growing microgreens for a year now. DELICIOUS!! 😋

I've had success with pea shoot microgreens with just water!
Good job! How did u do it?😀
Does that only work with Pea shoots?

@@richardkim412 That is not microgreens. That is sprouts. But thank you for replying.
I just want to say thank you for taking so much of your time to help others, I really appreciate it.
Haven’t seen you in months! Good to see you again 😊
I don’t even use soil I use no growing medium and they grow like crazy great video thank you
Tell me more. I want the cheapest way to still grow great microgreens. I'm poor financially.
Some good ideas. Ive had mold a couple times now. So cut back on the water. Only every other day and spray ..... Maybe only 3 days of darkness and put into the light. Airflow I could try too.
I have several packs of seeds on my table waiting to be planted...Message received. I’m going to do it now.
microgreens do grow straight and fall over. I may try this again. Good advice. Thank you!
This is great! I’m just starting to explore growing microgreens so it’s helped a lot. Cheers!

Nice to see a video pop up from you! Your content is always so informative.
Very informative video. A couple of questions: How long do they need to be under weight and in the dark? And if using a growing light, how many hours a day?
2 days under weight and dark, at least 8 hours of light afterwards.
This is a great video. Thanks Jag. It's packed with information! Nutrition for our minds!
Thank you. New to microgreens and growing anything.
Great and easy to follow video. Thank you. How do you tell if the coco coir has salt? Is there a particular brand or information you can share?

Thank you for this nice video Jag. Please how long should the weight remain on the seeds?
Thank you very much for the excellent advice and greetings from the beautiful country of Slovenia EU. This is also how the name sLOVEnia is pronounced
And you helped me in my new garlic and ginger plants thank you 🙏
Lol I learned how to grow garlic from him too
Thanks for your video
I don't understand the part about the pressure and darkness from the plant pot helping the roots grow, but you need light. That must be in sequence, but I didn't hear anything about when to switch.
You need light after seeds germinate, about 2 to 3 days after adding the seeds.
Please put a video on how to grow mushrooms
early stages for me in starting to grow microgreens, move you content

Thanks for explaining these common mistakes. Excellent..
We should play a drinking game where we take a shot every time he says "coconut coir"
I have seen SO MANY VIDEOS where they do not use any weight and it’s perfectly fine. How come you use it?
Great video, first timer for micrograms. Big fan of coco coir. Looking forward to it. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this information. I was using the wrong soil mixture for sure!😊
Okay you answered that question at 4 minutes and 40 seconds in thank you!!
I have had success with microgreens thanks to your video, Jag! Regarding coco coir, once I am done harvesting the shoots, can I reuse it or should I compost it? I don't have a compost bin. Can I just put the used coco coir in my backyard/garden?
Compost after using or you can bury it in your garden.
Thanks, i really needed the info. on the blackout period and the fan.

Thank you! Super fantastic tips. Very much appreciate you for taking time to share your wisdom and experience. Happy growing
Great tips!
love it! great tips & presentation :) Thank you Jag
Great information, thank you!!
Can't you just soak the coconut fibre in water to get rid of any salts?
Do you put humidity done initially? Would like to see your video on direct water method with water in bottom tray for humidity and oxygen
Great information!! You have given me a better understanding
Clear and concise. Subscribed.
You’re amazing, thank you SO MUCH!!! 🙏❤️😋
Sir make video on how to grow corn
Greetings. Great info. I have been using soil and experienced mole.
Curious, can you reuse coco coir?
I was wondering the same thing.
The best video! Thank you!👏👏👏👏👏
Good to know you know a lot about what you are talking.

Brilliantly helpful. Thank you🌱
Good information, Thank you. Question--Where did you get the fan?
Once you harvest them ,do they grow back like parsley
So, where can you buy the right brand of Coconut Coir without salt?
My question as well.
Whats the difference between micro greens and regular plants,especially with fenugreek, coriander
Thanks for the video! Very informative!
Thank you for this info ! I am going to try coco coir
Very helpful, thank you!
Wow! Great info. Thank you!
My north facing window is the problem. Thx for the tips.
Very helpful! When you harvest them do they come back? Or do you have to compost them and start over? thank you
If they do not need soil, then why could you not just make them sprout on a wet paper towel or moss?
Hi. How long do they stay under the weights and then how long in blackout without the weights? Thanks
Thank you very clear and logical, really helpful! 😍
Thank you. Cheers
Question: Can you re-use coconut coir?
You are awesome. Thanks very instructive
Hi Jag, thank you this video. Very informative. I like to grow organic flat parsley for myself. As you know organic microgreen seeds are very expensive. Have you ever tried to grow microgreen parsleys? I need all kind of information. Thank you. Subscribed
Yes you can grow any seeds like parsley, peas, edible varieties of sunflower, broccoli, etc as microgreens
Can we use the coconut coir again?

Thanks for sharing
How long the microgreen survive without any additional fertilizer ?. As you said they get energy from seed.
highly informative. thank you.
How long do you keep the microgreens covered and weighted?
Thanks for your information
Thanks you.
great video, lots of useful tips. question: when do we remove the clay pot weights covering the seeds trying to sprout? i am looking forward to getting my microgreen game on.
I usually remove the weight after 2 or 3 days. Beyond that, the seeds start getting moldy. But that is with regular potting soil.
I was wondering the same thing.
Me too!!
My question as well
Good information. Thanks.
Thank you.
