Just wanted to say I really appreciate you guys. I just started to germinate my first 10 trays of microgreens today. You guys have inspired me to start something I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. Your video are very helpful. Thanks from Canada 👍🏻

🙂Thank you so much for the support R4U3 Robot!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 Just watch out when you harvest as some grow medium will cling and raise with stalks sometimes...be prepared to lightly rinse before consumption!!!
I followed instructions from another grower and they did say to soak the seeds. I wasn't expecting my weight to double after soaking, so I had to put some soak seeds in the refrigerator until I could get some more soil. Interesting ly enough, the seeds that had been soaked that were kept in the refrigerator for 2 days seemed to be more vibrant and do better than the trays that were not refrigerated.
Hi !! thank you so much for those videos !! I have issues with my red blull's blood, they die when they a few centimeters high. I'v tryed many different ways to do but no results ... HELP !!!
Nice to see the Detroit Mix, I like the colours. It makes an interesting package to mix the two. I'm back to growing my beets and chard in coco, the peat/sea soil mix seemed too dense and possibly too moist. Poor yields and I'm pretty sure it was damping off that was knocking the poor things down. Thank you for the vid!
It took us a few bad grows to finally get good consistency like we do now! If you follow these steps it should hopefully help you out! Thank you so much for watching!! Best wishes on your next tray 🥳
You are amazing.. I’m learning so much from you. I do have a question, why do we have to put substrate on the beets?.. I’m getting a little confuse, how do I know when to put substrate on top or not to put substrate on top I appreciate you getting back to me thank you
Great question and thank you so much for the support!! We like to use substrate on top whenever we are dealing with tricky seeds that generally have thicker seed hulls. So the ones we normally cover are: Beets, Swiss, Borage, Cilantro. This allows extra humidity and moisture to surround and soften the seed shells, allowing the plants to pop out easier and increases the germination rate.
I just ordered the Bull's Blood seeds because I love the red crops. You don't soak your beet seeds first? I'm still new to this so trying to make sure I have a successful grow.

Hi. Great video. When you bottom water, are you using any OceanSolution (nutrients) in the water? How much OS per gal or per quart of water? I just put my first micro greens tray ever in the light (Detroit Beets). I’d appreciate input from anyone. Thanks
10:32 when you do the "total cost" you do not include AC costs, humidifier costs, watering costs nor labor costs. What would you estimate the actual cost at? 5x of what is on the screen?
Those cost you are discussing, are very minor. The AC is the most expensive and it was only $25/month to cool in peak Texas summer... thats for the entire grow space. So it adds a whole $0.05-$0.20 per tray, and watering takes 10 seconds... do the math and you can see why we leave those out. Also, most people don't have a contained grow space like us, so we focus on the tray cost, and don't overcomplicate things.
Beets are like the swiss chard seed. I wonder if cracking them slightly would improve germination speed? Maybe save you a day or two of growing. But once again your tricks and tips have helped me so much with my sprouting and i might adventure into microgreens soon. I mean I have the lights but right now the garden babies are growing under there. When they go out into the garden instead of just shutting them off till next year I'm thinking it's time to try microgreens. Just to fill in the gap between garden lulls! Lol
Those are some amazing looking beets 😍🙃 We are experimenting with the germination of beet microgreens on biostrate. Those are tough little seeds to germinate without some kind of soil, but we will find a way 😀

Wow! Thank you for sharing this amazing video. I am new growing microgreens. Based on your experience, could you share with all of us what type of seeds are good to grow together in the same tray? Thank you,
🙂Thank you so much for the support!! It really means a lot to us Kenny Valenzuela! Keep growth size in mind...for instance peas and sunflowers grow taller than most brassicas... so maybe look at it that way when matching up in same tray!!!
Great questions! Yes, the different mediums do change up the techniques a little bit. For example, if we grow on paper-towels or a hydroponic medium, we will generally see a little bit slower germination, so we may have to leave them in the germination phase for a day or two longer. Also climate plays a big factor. If the temperature is above 85F, most crops will germinate really fast (usually in a day or two) but if the temperature is 70F or lower, the seeds may take 3 to 4 days to germinate fully. You can grow with only water and get really great results!! If you are using only water, we’d suggest using a potting mix soil that way you can get a little stronger of growth since the potting mix has nutrients in the soil. We use a lot of coco coir which doesn’t really have a bunch of minerals (nutrients) for the crops, so they will grow a little slower than a good soil will. Hope that helps!! Thank you so much for your support Cecilia! 🤗🌱🌱
@@OnTheGrow Thank You!!! I'm starting with sunflower on soil, since here in Bolivia there is no coco coir, so I'm addapting the technics. Todas is day 2 of germinación, can't wait to see how is going

🙂Thank you so much for the support juan cruz Fernandez!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 So far as beets....man they are hard enough in soil. We might decide to test it out soon as we are thinking of reviving our hydroponic techniques.
What other combinations of seeds can be grown in the same tray? We are starting our 2nd batch. Would it be be better to purchase some small trays to fit in the 10x20s to grow different kinds in the same tray?
That's a great question! Most crops in the brassica family do wonderfully together and give you a wide variety of options. I would not suggest mixing sunflower, peas or radish with other crops. Nor would I suggest slow growing crops like Basil. The best way to create mixes though, is to grow each crop separately and then combine them at harvest. :) Hope this helps!

Came back to this video again. I'm on day three of being under the blackout tray (no weight) and just do not see any action on them whatsoever. No sprouts, no roots. Watering twice a day. I hope they come through, but it might be a whole fail of a tray.
hmmm, Usually will see them come up around day 4. Has your medium began to ripple at all yet? It could potentially be your seed source or even your climate. Fingers crossed for you to get a full tray!! Sometimes it takes a few times to troubleshot and get perfect.

Hi. I'm following this guide but for some reason my Beet seeds are very slow. Day 3 now and just a few poking through. I decided to add a heating pad under the tray today, will that help? It's probably about 69F in the room where I'm growing these. Also, I'm leaving the tray in ET until I see them germinating better, is that correct? When should I switch to BO? Maybe when there are lots poking out?
Thank you Ryan Evans for the step by step focus to details...🥳 We really appreciate your support!! 🙂The warming pad is an excellent idea during the germinating period...we take several measures to keep our entire grow space at an average temp of 70F and the pads give specific attention during that short important period...good move!!!
@@OnTheGrow It worked out good.. Only had it turned on for a few days. They turned out pretty good. Day 16 and I'm JUST starting to see a very tiny bit of Trueleaf coming through. We've been slicing away at them for a few days now. Might have to slice faster now! Mine are definitely much thinner stalks than the ones in your video, I guess they are a different variety. Just says BEETS on the package. I'll have to try the bullsblood next time. For what it's worth, they ended up in BO for about 2 days. Which is exactly what your other PDF said. So their ya go..... As always, thanks so much for all this information. It really helps alot. Hope you guys are making some money now from all this!
@@OnTheGrow Actually. Here is an update that may help other users. The BEET crop I did was pretty good. However, I noticed that the crop was MUCH thicker around the outside vs the inner area. I thought perhaps the seeds were not evenly distributed and moved on (but I always had a hunch it was the heat mat perhaps). So I started a second batch a few days ago of a mixed microgreen. Same thing. The center is much less dense with seed germination. BINGO. It's the heat mat. It's actually TOO WARM. I hovered my hand over the surface of the coco and can definitely feel that it is too warm in the center where the seed germination is lower. Cooking that darn seeds! I bought a good heat mat, but clearly it's getting too warm. It says it will only raise the temp 10F, but it's way warmer. So there is some info for someone else hopefully. Next time I'm going without the heating pad. And if I need it, I'll put something in between the pad and the tray to slow down the heat transfer and make it more even. I've got some of that solid 1" pink foam board insulation. I'll try that between the pad and the tray next time when I use it.
Thank you so much for the Feedback Ryan Evans! We appreciate your support! It truly can be trial and error with some of these microgreen crops, due to climate, and all of the other outside influences!

Trying bulls blood beets, following your process religiously - but after four days, hardly any germination at all. Bad seed packet? Not enough water misting? Would soaking seed have helped - Or should i just wait and see for a few more days before i give up on this batch? PS. The Mustard sown on the same day following the same method is already under light!
Great question! Some batches of Beets do take quite a bit longer… we’ve had some stay under weight for nearly 5 or 6 days before they really begin to germinate. I’d give it a few more days and see how it goes! You can also try a mini test for your batch of seeds and soak half of them for 4 to 8 hours and leave the other half of the tray unsoaked.

I have been trying to get these to grow for two months now. I've tried coco, i've tried soil, i've tried jute. Hell, i've tried jute covered with soil. Nothing i do gets these damn seeds to grow. I will get a few growing but they get to about an inch and have absolutly NO roots. none. None of the 12 other microgreens i grow (except cilantro) have this problem.
Hello Steve! Actually it's not to bad! A single compressed brick of coco-coir makes us about 20 or more trays which is awesome!. Thank you for watching and thank you for the compliment 🥳
@@OnTheGrow a customer recently suggested I try Coco coir and I am in love! I have to drive an hour and a half just buy it but I definitely prefer it over soil! I found a 5-kg block for $12 and it gave me 13 trays. Of course my trays are deep trays so I am learning to be a little more Frugal with the amount of soil I put in each tray
Because they did fine with out it compared to Swiss chard. But! If you find yourself getting poor germination or to many seed hulls, we suggest using a paver.

That's a great question! Most crops in the brassica family do wonderfully together and give you a wide variety of options. I would not suggest mixing sunflower, peas or radish with other crops. Nor would I suggest slow growing crops like Basil. The best way to create mixes though, is to grow each crop separately and then combine them at harvest. :) Hope this helps!
@@OnTheGrow thanks so much! 🙋♀️🌺🌴
What do you do with the coco peat once you harvest? How to recycle in case you do?

that was perfect Thank you
🥳🥳
Where did you get those trays? Also can these beets regrow and get another harvest from them? It looks like the roots would give you greens 🙂

❤appreciate your videos
Came back to this video again. I'm on day three of being under the blackout tray (no weight) and just do not see any action on them whatsoever. No sprouts, no roots. Watering twice a day. I hope they come through, but it might be a whole fail of a tray.
hmmm, Usually will see them come up around day 4. Has your medium began to ripple at all yet? It could potentially be your seed source or even your climate. Fingers crossed for you to get a full tray!! Sometimes it takes a few times to troubleshot and get perfect.
What do you have a pink light for?

how about mint and fennel?
Great suggestion!! We need to order some of those seeds to try. 🥳
Bottom or top watering after they go under lights?
🙂 Mike you have now progressed to "bottom watering "...now twice a day you slightly lift and make sure the roots get in contact with the right amount of water...monitor closely and adjust!
How long do you leave the lights on? 24/7 16/8, 12/12…..?
17/7
4 days of tray pressed down. But how many days of blackout/with tray overturned?
🙂Thank you for watching Rini Kh!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Shouldn't take more than 2 days...check the height of your crop.
Another great video!! Thanks so much - ordering beets and Swiss chard to try. Not a fan of radish and cress. 👍
Thank you!! Hopefully beet and Swiss chard are more for you! Cress isn't for everyone and Radish are spicy.
Hi. I'm following this guide but for some reason my Beet seeds are very slow. Day 3 now and just a few poking through. I decided to add a heating pad under the tray today, will that help? It's probably about 69F in the room where I'm growing these. Also, I'm leaving the tray in ET until I see them germinating better, is that correct? When should I switch to BO? Maybe when there are lots poking out?
Thank you Ryan Evans for the step by step focus to details...🥳 We really appreciate your support!!
🙂The warming pad is an excellent idea during the germinating period...we take several measures to keep our entire grow space at an average temp of 70F and the pads give specific attention during that short important period...good move!!!
@@OnTheGrow It worked out good.. Only had it turned on for a few days. They turned out pretty good. Day 16 and I'm JUST starting to see a very tiny bit of Trueleaf coming through. We've been slicing away at them for a few days now. Might have to slice faster now!
Mine are definitely much thinner stalks than the ones in your video, I guess they are a different variety. Just says BEETS on the package. I'll have to try the bullsblood next time.
For what it's worth, they ended up in BO for about 2 days. Which is exactly what your other PDF said. So their ya go.....
As always, thanks so much for all this information. It really helps alot. Hope you guys are making some money now from all this!
@@OnTheGrow Actually. Here is an update that may help other users. The BEET crop I did was pretty good. However, I noticed that the crop was MUCH thicker around the outside vs the inner area. I thought perhaps the seeds were not evenly distributed and moved on (but I always had a hunch it was the heat mat perhaps).
So I started a second batch a few days ago of a mixed microgreen. Same thing. The center is much less dense with seed germination. BINGO. It's the heat mat. It's actually TOO WARM. I hovered my hand over the surface of the coco and can definitely feel that it is too warm in the center where the seed germination is lower. Cooking that darn seeds! I bought a good heat mat, but clearly it's getting too warm. It says it will only raise the temp 10F, but it's way warmer.
So there is some info for someone else hopefully. Next time I'm going without the heating pad. And if I need it, I'll put something in between the pad and the tray to slow down the heat transfer and make it more even. I've got some of that solid 1" pink foam board insulation. I'll try that between the pad and the tray next time when I use it.
Thank you so much for the Feedback Ryan Evans! We appreciate your support! It truly can be trial and error with some of these microgreen crops, due to climate, and all of the other outside influences!

why do we need another layer on top of seeds
Abhishek Jain I think it helps them shed the seed hulls.
The biggest reason is to help shed the seed hulls! You do not want to bite into a beet seed..its very hard.
🙂 You are correct!!!
Trying bulls blood beets, following your process religiously - but after four days, hardly any germination at all. Bad seed packet? Not enough water misting? Would soaking seed have helped - Or should i just wait and see for a few more days before i give up on this batch?
PS. The Mustard sown on the same day following the same method is already under light!
Great question! Some batches of Beets do take quite a bit longer… we’ve had some stay under weight for nearly 5 or 6 days before they really begin to germinate. I’d give it a few more days and see how it goes! You can also try a mini test for your batch of seeds and soak half of them for 4 to 8 hours and leave the other half of the tray unsoaked.
@@OnTheGrow thanks I will perservere!
Can we regrow the root ? Thanks
Sorry, not usually with beets! There are some microgreens, such as chive, that will regrow, however! If you're curious how we grow different Microgreens varieties we have a TH-cam playlist that breaks it down from seeding to harvest day for various crops using our methods! You should check it out and see if we’ve done the crop you're looking for! (odds are we have haha)

I love this video. Reality: fixed my beets in one session
Thank you so much Billy!! We're so happy to hear that you are now rocking your Beets!!!
Awesome!! Billy Miranda We are so excited to announce that both our Microgreens master book and our first cookbook will be available very soon!
First time growing beets. I'm feeling a bit defeated. They begin to falter & lay down after about 5 days under lights.
@@stacey3637 we’ve all been there
@@stacey3637 I’m going through the same issue. They seem to drop when I mist them. Im trying to save this batch by watering the roots instead.
How many hours of light are needed each day? I’m attempting to do it with sunlight.
They run their lights 7 hours on 17 hours off.
@@lornalammers6824 WRONG. 17 hours on, 7 hours OFF
Nope, this is backwards....17 on and 7 off We run our lights on a 17hours ON and 7 hours OFF schedule and have had great success with that over the past year and a half!
Correct! Thankyou! 😊
Can you please explain about the true leafes and time for harvest please?
Thank you for watching Inge Van Sand!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Please visit www.onthegrow.net and browse all the assembled info as well as maybe get the Microgreen Master Book headed your way!!!
How do you figure out how many seeds to put on a tray? I am using 5x5's.
🙂Thank you Claudia Martinez 🥳 We really appreciate your support!!
Please visit www.onthegrow.net and check out our seed guide...it's a PDF that you can print and post.

Hey guys! We have been trying beetroot for sometime now but always end up having mold in the growth and also after some time the roots and the shoots start blackening. Please help
We have not attempted beetroot as yet, but hopefully, soon! Have you tried more than 1 seed supplier? 😉Ronak Vora Looking for seeds...hers another link...

what is the temperature of your nursery
🙂Hello Alexander Champi Yalle ! Our space stays between 75-80F degrees in the Summer (Best Germination Temps) and between 67-73F in Winter and our humidity around 50% or under. We also have one large fan that circulates the majority of the air and small computer fans on each shelf of each rack. All fans are running for 24 hours of the day. We do not pump carbon-dioxide in the space and the space only exchanges air when we open the door a few times throughout the day.
Where could I order the seeds??
Yooo check it out,the bass is in the house with those beats at 12:00 ...Forget the vitamins and minerals,check voice box gain setting when eating these...hahaha...love you vids

@@OnTheGrow no but I need to! How can I do that
I have been trying to get these to grow for two months now. I've tried coco, i've tried soil, i've tried jute. Hell, i've tried jute covered with soil. Nothing i do gets these damn seeds to grow. I will get a few growing but they get to about an inch and have absolutly NO roots. none. None of the 12 other microgreens i grow (except cilantro) have this problem.
Thanks. Why my beets do not look red? They look white.
check the style there is white and red beet seeds
Do you have to cover the seeds?
Thank you for watching Danyal Wiggins!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Yes...beets are one of those trouble makers!!!
Hi Mandy : ) You are AWESOME : ) Y'all muster really go thu coco cor
Hello Steve! Actually it's not to bad! A single compressed brick of coco-coir makes us about 20 or more trays which is awesome!. Thank you for watching and thank you for the compliment 🥳
@@OnTheGrow a customer recently suggested I try Coco coir and I am in love! I have to drive an hour and a half just buy it but I definitely prefer it over soil! I found a 5-kg block for $12 and it gave me 13 trays. Of course my trays are deep trays so I am learning to be a little more Frugal with the amount of soil I put in each tray
Why do not use a paver on this crop ?
Because they did fine with out it compared to Swiss chard. But! If you find yourself getting poor germination or to many seed hulls, we suggest using a paver.
Do you find soaking beets help?
🙂Thank you for watching Mark Barton!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!
Basically we feel beets are trouble makers all around...do everything possible, watch close!!
why no BO?
No blackout because the stems were long enough already and we did not want them to get long and lanky! 😊 If you're curious how we grow different Microgreens varieties we have a TH-cam playlist that breaks it down from seeding to harvest day for various crops using our methods!
