How many dry g’s do you guys think I can pull of with this setup? And how high quality? Open to tips.
I want to grow baby greens to have my own salad so that I know it has no pesticides or other harmful chemicals. I did a lot of research and started a little set up. From what I had found I thought I was supposed to plant pretty dense. Well now that they have sprouted I wonder if I need to thin. I have 3 different kinds of lettuce in the tray, and spinach in the pot. What do you guys recommend? Doing this on a budget so trying not to have to buy a grow light.

I started some broccoli sprouts in a jar! Came here and did some scrolling and I don’t see anyone doing it in a jar! What’s up with that? What are the cons? I rinse my sprouts twice a day.
Hello , I'm growing microgeens in a walk in cooler which is equipped as grow room.
It's only 2x2x2 meters.( Heating humidity control and fans)
Experiencing several heat waves
It's getting to hot in there.
Would any of you have tips to cool this room without adding moisture?
Thanks
I just discovered a weekly farmers market that takes place within walking distance from my house every Saturday morning. I have been growing microgreens for a couple years for personal use only, never sold any, but always entertained the option. This seems like the perfect Avenue to start. However, I don’t want to harvest them before selling them if possible. Not only does it seem like a big waste of time, but it’d be a sacrifice of freshness and longevity as well. Assuming I have leftover stock, I’d rather they still be growing than slowly rotting in a container.
Does anyone have any recommendations for disposable, preferably biodegradable/eco-friendly trays that can hold water in the bottom for growing hydroponically? Bonus points for compatible lids for transporting them.
Any recommendations appreciated!
Delivering this and seeing the look on the chef's face is absolutely priceless! Some old, some new, taken out from our insta.
Hi microgreens growers,
We’re working on an AI-powered home growing machine focused on microgreens, and we’re currently in the pre-launch stage.
The idea is to combine a dedicated grower with an app that helps track and guide the growing process, so home growers can get fresher, more consistent results with less trial and error.
Sharing a few early images of microgreens grown in the machine. We’d really appreciate any feedback from people who already grow microgreens or are interested in starting.
What would you want a smart microgreens grower to help with most?
Hey fam 👋. So i been looking everywhere but can’t seem to find a rack with lights that can be independently shut off or on. Not looking for any huge. Smaller end 4-5 tier rack. But everything I’ve found it’s either the lights are on, on every tier or they’re off. Can’t have some off and some on at same time. I know and have seen bigger racks with on/off switches for every tier but do they make smaller ones with this option? Links would be extremely appreciated! TIA 🙏🙏
Ive found wheatgrass grown in soil to be much sweeter too
I really liked this new plant and I hope it grows a lot 😊
Went to seed my second grow attempt this weekend and found a lot more trouble with the initial watering process. I think my growing medium (potting soil) dried out some from sitting too long and became slightly hydrophobic. Took a long time for the water to absorb and it distorted my seed distribution and then partially buried the seeds.
Is this batch cooked? Is this normal? Should I put processes in place to keep my stored potting soil more moist? Any insight is appreciated.
