What’s good replacements for pro mix hp when growing 600 trays every two weeks it’s way to expensive yes even when buying a pallet still $70 a bag

I keep seeing a lot of comments here and there about whether or not the blackout phase is necessary. I have broccoli, cabbage, and peas about to come out of germination, and if the blackout phase isn't necessary that would save me a lot.of hassle. Do you do the blackout phase for your greens? Why or why not?

Just harvested my first container! It's some yummy mustard spinach!

I have been successful with radish, pea, broccoli as well as a salad mix but my cilantro is pitiful.

I soaked the seeds, covered them for 7 days( with weight) and my germination rate looks to be about 30-40%. Suggestions welcome

Hi guys, here is a update of day 6 on brown letil which i planted. Its going great. Prob due to low humidity in the room (34% avg).

But the taste is off. Is it normal or?

I distributed true leaf markers spicy salad mix evenly over this tray, and then placed another identical tray on top to weight it down. The tray has a trapezoidal cross section, so is narrower at the bottom. Three days later, the seeds under the top tray have germinated, but the ones off to the side have not. Guess that weight really is important!

How do you folks germinate micro greens in small batches like this one? If I were doing 8 of these, I could cover the whole thing with a 1020 tray. But sometimes I just want a little treat for the next week!

I think the fan was too high and didn't water enough yesterday, will this part bounce back with more water?

This is my first hydro grow. Salad mix. Black spots are only on radish. Bit yellow still as I just put them under the light. Maybe a bit late? Anyways they taste awesome, hopefully not fungus cuz I've been snacking on them. Lol

Hello! I have a load (25 lb bag) pf multicolor quinoa seed. Has anyone grown quinoa as microgreens - for a 10x10 tray - how much seed? When I sprout broccoli and similar I use about 1TB on a 10x10 tray. Just would really love to see pix of any results. My photo is just to get you to look- they are Broccoli and Friends mix

Ive just been using gallon zip lock from target but want to up my game. Tried to order clear produce bags but they came and were cloudy and shit material. I'm open to clam shells if anyone knows of a super large one. I can only fit less than half a lb in my 64 oz ones. Can't seem to find Any on Amazon larger than 64 oz.

Any links to product would be apriciated.

Thanks team.

For small in house tents, does anyone in here get a fan and dehumidifier?

Just wanted to share my grow chart because it’s been very helpful for me. It’s a simple idea but often overlooked.

I’m new to growing microgreens and sprouting. I’ve tried growing 6 trays of different varieties in the past 2 months and they were just ok.

I’ve had sucky lights, I’ve over-seeded, under-seeded, overwatered, underwatered & more.

I know radish is the easiest variety to grow but let me just enjoy this moment 😊 Any tips or suggestions are welcome

I really don't want to toss my first batch, but they don't seem fully grown and I think this might be mold. Kept them in a dark cabinet the full 6 days and rinsed every day EXCEPT 1, yesterday.

Was my first crop ever, feel free to tell me how I did. ❤

What kind of containers do you folks use to soak?

Have any of you had luck with shipping your greens long distance?

I just ordered for my plants. I had 34w bulb from them and its was a beast. Plants love it but i was clumsy and broke it. I was thinking about T8 Barrina but i was not sure of how long it would last. What are ypur opinions about this. Also ot was 35 dollars cheeper on their page then on amazon.

Does anyone presoak there soil before putting seed on top? I put seed on top, spread them, and then water and I don’t think I’m getting the water to really saturate the soil very well. Any suggestions?

Hoping this works as i grow in small quantities for myself so required a resuable medium. Cocopeat + vermicompost was the medium i tried before.
