I stopped using soil completely and grow all my microgreens using Biostrate hemp pads. I was using soil for the larger seeds like sunflower and pea, but I do those on the pads now with no problem. They grab the pad in 2 days and off they grow! I also grow everything quasi-hydroponically now. I keep the pads completely soaked with tap water mixed with Jack's 30-10-10. One-half teaspoon to a gallon. No messing around with the pH at all. I use 4' LED tubes for lighting. My radish is ready to harvest in four days from seeding the pads. Sunflower in about six days. I think some growers are making this way more complicated than it needs to be and for the home grower, like myself, it can be a turn off. Have not tried broccoli so thanks for the suggestion.

I say it like this (Sul for a fane) From what I understand it’s the BEST for ex-smokers to use to detox and that microgreens have all the nutrients in their sprout, so we don’t need soil at this stage to “feed” them because they get harvested before that’s necessary, with a side note that a few seeds like peas, sunflower, beets and buckwheat require a soil base which in and of itself can be very basic seed starting soil. This is all based off of my own experience growing a variety of microgreens. I also learned that when you freeze broccoli MG’s it increases the amount of (Sul for a fane) 10 fold

Good video, I am going to try this. I believe there was a study done that suggest after 48 Hours of sprouting, broccoli Sprouts have the highest levels of sulforaphane in them

You got started with the demo right away without a lot of verbal intro which helps! Each day helped too. Like the card clipped idea! Lean toward using RO water instead of tap...we have hard water here. Thanks!

Great that he prioritises his kids over all the science stuff

[yunzers]

So great your kids love it. Great job thanks!

[lisahileman]

So great to see how easy it looks! I’m just starting with micro greens!

[Honestsheep]

Thank you for sharing i will try this verse in the jar. Blessing to you and your family!

Thanks for that. I got all the equipment for micro greens for Christmas ( I already have the grow lights). I will probably start my first batch of broccoli and also sunflowers 🌻 today. I found your video really helpful!

My understanding was that these can be grown without earth/compost on moist blotting paper. That fuzz is called root hairs, microscopic root filaments aka microroots. That’s an appropriate usage of micro BTW. A key nutrient is sulphurophane.

Great video! Very real and informative.

[neuenfilms]

Your explanation is amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Where can I get those trays? Also where do you recommend to buy the seed and the soil ? Thank you very much. Looking forward to your answer.

[armandolanda]

That's impressive I really need to start doing that.

I gave U thumb up for trying to say salforaphane. Gr8 video mate.

[amyganbold]

Thanks a lot this video was very helpful

[ejtheinsane]

Sulforaphane helps with incognitive diseases as well such as schitzoeffective disorder like what I have

[RohitsKitchenGardenchannel]

Wonderful explanation done in the video. Also very informative.

Look into chlorine dioxide for sterilizing. The same two part mixture used for purifying camping water

Have you ever tried to mix the seeds for the grow, so when you harvest you already have a mixed micro greens?

[Elainegarde]

that was an inspiration. really clear thank you. Our CSA project is starting a food box system. we have our own apple juice at Future Orchard Cork and doing microgreens as well will be great. I have been sprouting for 20 years already but the whole light system is something I have found complicated and I have never ventured that way. Can I ask you why the light were on when you were excluding the lught for the first few days of the process... Is it for heat?
