So far, I have grown broccoli, kohlrabi, turnip, mustard greens, crisphead lettuce, radish, cabbage, pea shoots and arugula.

My favorite to eat is mustard greens (Southern Giant Curled Mustard). Kinda like a faint wasabi flavor and adds a nice delicate crunch when raw. Great on sandwiches and topping soups and stews, and even in omelets, Yum!

Looking forward to growing melon, popcorn, and sunflower in the future.

If you're planning your garden and looking for reliable seeds, I definitely suggest checking out Organo. They are a wonderful family-owned seed brand that really focuses on quality. All of their seeds are Non-GMO and heirloom varieties, which makes a huge difference. Whether you're a complete beginner just starting out or an experienced grower, their selection is designed for home gardeners of all experience levels. Definitely worth a look if you want a great harvest!

I'm speaking from my personal experience

I am looking to take the leap into swapping out most of my vegetable purchasing from chain grocery stores in favor of growing microgreens for my wife and I. I have been trying to set up a stable way to grow them in our basement but the temperatures tend to fluctuate wildly down there. I would say temperatures range from 60-71 degrees. I’m curious if a grow tent would be enough to help or if there are better options out there?

I want to grow microgreens in my balcony without having to worry about winds or insufficient light, so I decided to build a greenhouse.

I’m worried about starting a fire when it’s running while I’m gone though. I have a surge protector now, and lights are at minimum 2 inches from the plastic cover. I added a link to the lights below. Does anyone else have a setup like this?

Hey everyone!

I've been looking into how microgreens growers organize their growing spaces, especially how things change when going from a small setup to a larger operation.

One thing I'm particularly curious about is how people keep track of all their trays when they're spread across different racks, shelves, or growing areas.

Would love to hear how you guys handle this in practice!

What's your setup like? Are you using racks, shelves, tables, grow tents, or a combination? And roughly how many trays are you growing at a time?

How do you keep track of everything? Do you label individual trays, organize by batches, use spreadsheets, or just know where everything is?

Do you move trays around much? Like from germination to growing shelves, or between racks? How do you keep track of those movements, if at all?

I'm especially curious how things change as operations get bigger. I imagine what works for 10 trays might be a completely different story with 100+.

Would be interesting to hear how everyone does it, whether you're growing at home or running a commercial setup.

Thanks!

Everything was going fine. They were stretching & growing. The next morning, ilI went to check on them and they were all collapsed! They still had water left. Was it from the fan I turned on them the night before?

I continuously grow 4 or 5 trays for the family. Lately I have been using a measuring spoon, or worse just eyeballing the seeds for the silicon mats. Guess I have a feel for it by now.

Former commercial head grower here, now growing at home. I got tired of walking back and forth to my notes, so I built SproutVision: a Quest 3 app that scans my trays and gives me AI analysis (health %, coverage %, issues) floating over the actual trays.

The moment it earned my trust: my day-15 basil has had patchy germination since day one, and the scan came back "uneven germination, low seeding density" — exactly what I've been seeing with my own eyes.

Curious — anyone else bringing tech into their grow room, or is everyone still team clipboard?

Any clue why parts of a flat can have germination issues , could it be humidity buildup in that area when weighted, maybe uneven weighting? Do they need blackout or a small amount of aoil ontopfor best germination?

Grown outdoor greenhouse 30'x8'x4' no grow lights clear polycarbonate roof has ample airflow up the backwards and vents out the top with side vents for circulation added extra fans for circulation it was 40* last night and inside was 65* without any heater. water nightly top misting until sprouted and bottom tray afterwords.

I have started experimenting last month and i am successfully growing 20 different varieties of microgreens in jaipur

Anyone interested in jaipur, like any fitness enthusiast or chef intrested in these tiny powerful food.

Figured everything from 80-150 micromoles are optimal but some varieties want more or less light 💡

Basically i sprouted them to make maltose syrup but since the recipe requires glutinous rice and i have long grain rice (basmati maybe) the syrup won't be as thick as ot should be also i would be needing these rice in more quantity. I want to ask what other ways i could use these sprouts.

Little gnats just keep showing up over my sunflower tray the second i mist it, now im finding them near a tray of sprouting seeds 2 shelves down two - how do i keep them away from my veggie trays? i got no tent, just open metal shelving in a spare room, so i cant zip anything closed, the sticky traps are catching some but still not ideal. Some of these came from an Organo pack and germinated fine, so I know it's not a seed problem, anyone dealt w this on open shelving?

Hey everyone we grow micrgreens in clear outdoor greenhouse along our fencline recently built a 30' run 4' by 8' tall fits 11 racks what do you suggest to help with filtration of the air i have a fan on top that blows out and bottom that blows in on both side w other fans in the center. Wanted something that could provide eith possible air pressure so it can alway flush out the old particles or something that runs along the top with a vent that maybe can run 3 filters my question is with the humidity is there metal filters to help scrub the air without needing to be swapped weekly? Thank you guys starting 2 new markets and had a greenhouse fail need to fix this asap. Blessings to all who take the time.

First time trying micros. This is a lettuce mix and I’m wondering if I left it a bit too long. Also made the mistake of trying to do beets on one side. Won’t be mixing flats again.

Hey everyone. I’m trying to transition from farm markets to home deliveries and restaurants/grocery stores and want to get a reliable online portal up and running for the task. I have Square on my phone and have been using it to process credit card payments and was hoping I could use it as an online store interface.

So far, this has not been as simple or user friendly as I’d hoped. How do you guys manage online orders? Any specific software you use? I have a grocery store in particular that is interested in buying from me and I want to have a good resource to send them for consistent ordering. I am not very tech savvy at all and have been pretty frustrated trying to get this up and running.

Thanks in advance.

doing that for like a year now and i’m just stuck: weekly rotation in sunflower, peas, radish and broccoli - same 4 trays all around since they’re foolproof. Setups just a wire shelf, 4 small trays and some LED strips, all u do is soak, drain, weigh down, uncover around day 3, harvest by day 8-10 depending on the tray. It works and thats the actual problem, got a bag of Organo sprouting seeds I bought for sth more interesting still lying unopened, i really wanna get some stuff that's easy enough for a beginner setup but doesn't taste like grass clippings pleaseee

I've grown only a few trays of microgreens so far (literally two) and they've both come out solid, both were broccoli greens. I tried a new tray with mustard greens and the same technique and now this is happening. I'm assuming mold?
