You have great content. Straight and to the point!!! Nothing over dramatized!!! I can dig it. Thanks Man. You're helping me with starting up my own farm. I will definitely use you as a resource if I have any questions. THANK YOU!
Your newest sub doesn't know what to binge next. Great Stuff.
Josh, very grateful I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for solid information and no waffle! It’s a breath of fresh air. And very generous of you.
I'm liking the copper coupling to reduce bacteria in watering 10:33
Great video, Josh. I felt like I had to catch my breath when you were done, but I totally understand. I just started doing culinary videos for our CSA Members and it ain't easy. This was terrific.
Great video mate. Love the old fishtank need reference. Keep it up mate, I'm loving the content
Great video, I loved it. You have made everything so simple and easy for us. You are a good man as you have shared everything which you have done are doing which other's usually don't. Thanks for that and I would be following your videos now :)
Stumbled upon your video, all the way from Durham! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Dude, you are so cool! I don’t know you and yet I am so proud of you. Thank you for the content.
Thanks Josh. So average cost for one rack with lights and trays are going to run around $485. That's without seeds ,medium and cost for electric so do your homework everyone. It will take time to get you money back but well worth it in the end. I am so excited to get started,
Outstanding, thanks Josh!
You're welcome. Glad you liked it!
I have watched many videos on setting up but this was clean clear and to the point without the waffle. Look forward to your other videos.
Thank you!
I 100% agree. Well done!
Hi Josh I find your video very clear precise straight to the point an easy learning the picture quality is good keep up the good work and I cant wait for your next video to come out
Thank you! Glad you liked the video.
Thank you so much for all the details. As many of the micro green growers don’t share such important information!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are more informative than others ones I've seen.
Thanks from the UK. Really informative stuff
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Great content, Josh, you are truly prolific. New to your channel but a definite fan. Lots of info, smart, real, logical ... great job!
That was sooooo neat setup!
You are awesome. Thanks for the economical tips about lighting. I'm just starting out and this was helpful.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Really great videos. It is very helpful seeing a real operation and hearing why you make the decisions you make.
Thank you. Glad you find the videos helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great job I'm loving the videos and vibes

Thank you for this video 🌸
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you !!!!
Hi! Josh. I love your Channel . I want to do the exactly things you are doing! Soon, I'll move to Osceola county Fl., don't know how to start our 5 acre land. Your VIDS are my guide. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Glad the videos have been helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great video on microgreens from fellow pro microgreen growers in the UK x
Thank you!
Best place to buy seeds in UK?
I can't find any good suppliers for smaller growers in Denmark :/
@@CheOpster I have no idea. I'm in the US. I listed my two sources in the video description.
Josh I want to first thank you for doing these videos. I find the info very helpful. I am also on a very tight budget, but i wanted to point out a very good reason for considering LED's and its not environmental. I live in and old house in Brooklyn and I rent. Upgrading the electric box is not an option. Many houses built in the 40's and 50's have minimal electric outlets and capacity. That is the advantage of LED's even though their expensive they use a lot less electricity so the don't overload the 15 amp breakers. Just something to consider when calculating how much energy your units will need.
Really great video!
Thanks!
That’s a very good point about consulting an electrician regarding this. I’ll be setting up a similar system for growing seedlings and I’d better speak to a sparkie about it. Thanks Josh.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
i borrowed a couple of tips from this. thanks
Great!!👌...very informative video 🤔👍
I use to keep my seeds on top but not long after, I took them down. The heat coming off the t5's tends to add up quick on the totes. Then again I use mylar film for reflection.
I didnt even realise this was a new video and a fairly young channel. Wonderful content, really enjoying it. Production value is high and you keep it quite simple and easy to understand. Very average man approach in delivery which makes it feel very comfortable to relate to. Good job man!
Glad you liked the video. Please check out some of my other videos, lots of good content in there. Thanks for watching!
Another good reason to go with LED is you don't usually have as much worry about overloading circuits
great tips! thanks
Great video! On the case of LEDs being expensive. I'm loving my LED lights - Brillihood T5 Integrated LED Single Light Fixture, 4FT, 2200lm, 6000K from amazon. 10 lights for 65 bucks. I have 4 lights per rack to give consistency across the shelf. Also, each light comes with a power cord with switch along with a daisy chain cord if you want to connect them together. Quite a deal!
Thank you.
I immediately looked those up after reading your comment, amazing. I also just bought a ton of gondola shelving from a store closing, paid pennies on the dollar for what they cost. Time to grow!
Create job , looking forward to your vids .
Have you (or anyone else who's reading this) ever tried a single SunBlaster per shelf? Another TH-camr is just using one per shelf and seems to get great results, but from what I can tell, he's the only person doing this, and everyone else who uses SunBlasters uses two per shelf.
Great video thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hey Josh do you have a video talking about appropriate temperatures, humidity, etc? Loving your videos man.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the video! It sounds like you are near RDU!
luxx lighting has some bomb led strips out now in 2021
SUBBED! this video finally made me pull the trigger on starting my micro green farm. thank you! Can you make a video on water ph balance and soil/nutrients?
Hello Josh, Thank you for the great informative videos. I love the way how you approach the subject straight forward without wasting any time. I watched all your microgreen videos today, some videos twice. How do you control the temperature in your garage? Do you have AC installed in it? Thanks
yes he does, mentioned in first couple min or so of video.
Great video! Looking forward to more. I'm just starting out and got the Bootstrap Farmer trays...really liking them so far. Thanks for the all the great info -- I'm really trying to get microgreens going on our farm. So far it's been going well in trials, except for peas. For some reason, I just can't get them to grow. :(
You're welcome. Thanks for watching and good luck with the growing!
@@TPSDmike Thanks! Yeah...that's what I keep hearing which is why it baffles me when they just don't grow. I have followed Josh's method from his video of soaking for 24 hours and then planting just like he does. They didn't germinate well, some grew but it wasn't great growth -- very slow and stunted. I have tried pre-sprouting them to see if that would help give them a kick start, but once they were in the tray, they didn't grow. That could have been poor management on my part -- might not have kept them covered long enough to take root. I have added running the ceiling fan on low because the peas were molding before they finished germinating too. I had some trouble with sunflowers too but they still at least grew for a small harvest. I am doing fine with broccoli and basic salad mix -- it just seems to be with the larger seeds that I can't get them to work. :(
I will also mention I don't think I had enough light so I have adjusted that now, but haven't tried them again since doing so.
Thanks so much
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
amazing 🤩
That is a sweet set up Josh! Really clean and organized, it looks awesome. Nice tip on the power bars , and cords. But I always wondered how much light micros need. Stone says nothing in his book. Mind you he grew in a greenhouse. How long of a period do you give the micros light? Awesome video, take care man!
I give them 16 hours per day.
One of the advantages of the LED's is the lower power draw
Thx
Start something else again in this video all information your pride is great up to date very useful and I’m very thankful
Hey Josh you are absolutely great. Very clear and thorough. I do have a couple of questions. If you covered these topics in previous videos, I haven’t gotten to them yet so please forgive me. I’m a busy man. :)
Let’s assume I am starting from absolutely nothing. Nothing. The growing seems to be pretty straightforward and I love that. Lights, racks, seeds, etc. I can start with one rack, two racks, three racks. That seems to be the relatively easy part.
So let’s say I want to sell them. I can’t go out and just grow sixty racks of sunflowers and radishes and spinach and what have you without knowing who would buy them.
On the other hand, I have to have a product to show potential buyers as well. So there seems to be a “what come first - the chicken or the egg” - scenario. I can’t sell them without knowing who wants them, but I also have to have some kind of product for those who would want to try my product.
Again, I am starting from absolutely nothing. I do some landscaping around my property - flowers mostly - here in San Jacinto Valley of Southern California. I am curious how someone who has absolutely nothing - not even the gear - would embark on this kind of venture. I mean, you had to start from somewhere.
Do I just walk into my local restaurants and ask if they would like to try my microgreens. I am surrounding by small towns - including my own - and so far virtually everyone I have asked has said they have no idea what microgreens are. Now, you could look at this two ways: the lack of knowledge for this kind of produce could be a boon for a farmer just starting out on this kind of thing, OR this thing could be dead in the water because no one blows what microgreens are.
I love your style and your delivery. If you could give me some tips and tell me exactly how to get started, I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you.
Hi Dennis, I have talked a lot about this stuff throughout my videos. Here is a good one to start with th-cam.com/video/-Je_SrTbPQk/w-d-xo.html
Very nice video
Great video . Two question. Can we use yellow warm white LED and how long should we ON them .
Basically on a 20 amp circuit which is one plug-in you can plug-in about 20 100 W lightbulbs.
That's pushing it to the edge, but it works. It will use a bit more than 2000w on a 2100w fuse, if you got 110v system
Между лампами надо вырезать и зеркала вставлять - это повысит светоотдачу и рост
Thx!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
This is interesting! I was listening about the lighting and I thought that professional growing lights would be required from the beginning, but seems like not?
Barrani LED grow lites on Amazon for a good price 4’ T 5’s, 6 pack with all connections for about 65 bucks. If you use only 2 per rack that’s not bad. Not sure if you’re doing this kind of operation though. For me I’m only doing it for home and relatives. Nice set up you have👍
Hey Josh love the info great info I have a question could you put some nutrient information on the different stuff you grow thinking of starting a live salad bar but want to know the best nutrient dense stuff to grow thanks
Glad you liked the video. I personally don't have any nutrition information about microgreens, but I'm sure it's out there.
Interesting video
I really love your whole approach. I started slowly building a single rack for home consumption afew months back. Do you have any favourites for eating at home?
Sunflower Shoots are my personal favorite to eat.
Hey, I LOVE that you're in right in my town, Raleigh! Do you do any farmer's markets?
Hi there! I am only selling to restaurants right now.
Great video. Thanks. What is the spacing from shelf to shelf? Do you ever move the lights closer to the greens?
Thank you. The shelves are about 13" away from each other. The lights are attached to the bottom of the shelves so they don't move.
Just set this same system up and my rack levels are spaced 14 inches apart. As far as using this for starting veg starts have you had to adjust the seedlings closer or farther from the lights or are they fine just with the lights being mounted. Am using 3 full spectrum led and the principle is the same just wasn't sure about light spacing in regards to seedlings, not microgreens. Thanks for all the awesome content.
Awesome
Thank you!
Hey Josh, thanks for the vid! On average what are you making per flat of micro greens when selling to restaurants? Roughly how many hours a day do you dedicate to the micro greens?
Very nice clean set up. Love that hose end adapter. I’m definitely using that set up. Thanks for sharing. New sub.
Priceless just mentioned I could not see how You watered !!!!! Instant carma sorry man ! love your vids
Thank you.
Josh, would those lights work well for vegetable plants?
I found it! Thx.
It would be sooo cool if you added a big fish aquarium to your microgreen room. I think fish are the coolest pet to have.
I am a licensed electrician, another thing needs to be considered. Watts is power used, but you also need to check the lumens put out by different lights.
Hi Josh! Thank you for all of the information that you share! I looked through a bunch of questions from this video and the other microgreens video and hope that you haven't answered this question already but you mentioned you would use LED lights if you had the money - what would you recommend? We bought the ones from Nolt's Greenhouse Supply (they were cheap) and the micros grew very poorly even when we increased it to 4 tubes per shelf. We ended up moving them to our greenhouse. So perhaps we bought the wrong kind of LEDs, although watching your video makes me want to just buy fluorescent lights! Thanks again. - Yoko
Hey there! Feel free to send me a DM on Instagram or shoot me an email through my website. Love your farm BTW!
Love your vidéo... i'm new in microgreen... do u have any vidéo on how to control mold
Donny greens has a few short videos on mold control. 70-75 degrees, 40-55% humidity, lots of air circulation, clean environment, seed density. Every environment is unique, you will learn what works best. Happy growing!!

wow
Thanks for a great video! How often do you water using this method and are you using soil for all your greens?
Please check out my other videos on microgreens

Hi Josh. This was super informative. thank you :)
Hi and thanks. What is the spacing between your shelves ? Thanks
