How to grow microgreens at home - From start to finish

I tried growing microgreens at home and it was an easy, cheap project to work on. It's probably the best way to grow food at home with limited space.

Alex depending on how low you cut your peas, you may be able to get a second crop off them, also harvest with scissors you will be able to cut lower on the radish and broccoli and get more weight. Coriander problem due to sowing too densely for a longer growing crop.

For mold problem, you can pierce an oregano oil capsule and mix with water and spray. It is a natural anti fungal. I have done this when I grew wheatgrass indoors.

Hi! Alex! If Coriander tastes like soap to some people then they have a different genetic variation of the receptor OR6A2.
So it’s in their genes that coriander tastes like soap to them! Super interesting stuff!

Hey Alex. So many suggestions already - I hate to annoy you with another. BUT the solution to your mold problem is actually Hydrogen Peroxide. I took a professional microgreens course where they got very detailed about everything, right down to the ppm and pH of the water you are using. But one of the main things they emphasized was massive use of Hydrogen Peroxide on EVERYTHING to prevent any mold.
Keep in mind that growing microgreens is more like a lab experiment - cleanliness matters. Unlike outdoor gardening where things are expected to be a bit dirty. The coco coire is already fairly inert when it is brand new, but all trays, compression boards and even your hands should be sprayed down with H2O2. (Anyone concerned about using it should know it is simply water, with an extra oxygen molecule.) So after sanitizing your hands and all trays and tools, you would actually spray a round of the H2O2 on top of your tray just after spreading your seeds. It does not affect flavor or edibility. You can also use it to spot treat a tray of plants when you have an outbreak. They recommend "Food Grade" which you can buy at a hydroponics store, but honestly I just use a sprayer bottle of it straight from the first aid section of my Walmart. Hope this helps ! ❤ Love watching your videos on all subjects. Keep em coming !

Well done, Alex! This year, I'm experimenting with micro greens too, and I've sprouted tomatoes and herbs for my balcony garden under a grow lamp. Can't wait for your gardening videos!

I loved this video Alex! I have been super curious about micro greens and this video was just what I needed to inspire me to start growing right away. Cheers to day three on growing my very own radish and broccoli seeds!

Alex! I just wanted to let you know what an awesome gift it was finding you. You are special bro, you feel like a best friend, like a true best friend. You are so genuine- your presence is powerful, and you just are very comforting to watch. You have a peace about you- your love of life is obvious. A joy to watch in this day and age, a reminder, life has its struggles- but, you don't need to choose to focus on that. I love your love. I wish you nothing but peace and blessings in your life, keep walking the good walk!

You don’t understand how much I love these kind of videos! Will there be more of your bees and garden? Because I love them and it’s my favorite project videos😄

Another great video. Ive been growing Chillies and it is recommended to soak the seeds in Tea from 1/2 an hour to upto 2 1/2 hours depending how old the seeds are. Maybe if you soak the coriander seeds it might help with the seed cap sticking.

Alex this was another great and informative video! I absolutely love micro green and so does my son. I never realized how easy they are to grow. That being said.. my son and I are going to town very soon to pick up some supplies to start our own. Cheers Alex. Keep up the great content!
