Peter, I'm so sorry to see that the "on the grow" people comment such things here. This is beyond rude.. "On the grow" please patent your setup if you have fear of copying (if you can)!!! You know, no one uses YOUR setup, this is microgreens setup... Shame!
If your using the Ocean Solution, then why use the Coconut Coir? You could save money by not using it since it has nothing in it. The roots going through a mesh tray with Ocean solution and water on the bottom is all you should need. Right? Also, what's wrong with an organic Soil that has organic nutrients in it?
I really like watching your videos. You have some really good ways of doing things which I now will do instead of the way I was doing such as checking twice a day in the germination stage. I used to lose a lot of seed that stuck to the bottom of the tray and fall off. Can someone tell me how long you do the lights in a 24 hour period for best results. I do about 17 hours on and 7 off now.
What is the water PH? Is PH an issue? Also some cities have chlorinated water. Im guessing I need to filter it regardless of the water source and chemicals like chlorine..? If so, what would you recommend? love your videos! :)
Hi, I was wonerding how using coco coir as a growing medium with ocean nutrient compares with using other growing mediums like mycorrhizae with only water. Thank you!
Hey I used some of this fertilizer on my pea sprouts and I actually got more off of the tray that wasn't fertilized. Maybe I used too much? I diluted it to 1.5 oz per gallon and I got around an oz. more off of the one that didn't get fertilized. Idk what went wrong. I'll probably end up trying it with a few more varieties at a higher dilution rate
I'm planning on using fish fert. I'm of the belief that plants are always on the hunt for food when they're growing at all stages, I've just noticed you have to go reaaaallly easy and higher on the PK end than the N end, because thing like radish, etc. shoot that true leaf right out with too much nitrogen.
As organic as you can get next to water? Water is oxygen and hydrogen, you need to have carbon to be organic. So water is actually about the most inorganic as you can get!
i was very intriged by the video and went to the website and download the detail composition. it is just the sea water basically. They don't take out the Nacl which is the main ingredient and it is not good for plant. the other metals are very insignificant.
@@PrincetonMicrogreensAnyone know if there has been an assay done to show the micro-greens actually taking up the minerals from mineral/nutrients? I use SEA 90. So far great results. I used miracle gro in a test and it did make a difference in cotyledon size and overall height. Looking for organic fertilizer now.

hello, thank you for all ur wonderful videos, definitely very helpful, i have seaweed and hydroponic nutrients, can i use either instead of ocean solution? Thanx again
You could but I don't think it's too important since you're only growing the plants for a short time. Since you're not growing them to maturity, you won't run into any issues with soil ph or lockouts.
We were giving our left over coir to a local farm, but recently are in works with signing up with Kona Composting from Pennsylvania. www.konacompost.com/services They pick up all your composting bi-weekly for $19 a month! Not sure if you have any services like that in your area.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens We're just starting to do Microgreens for ourselves, but we are also do outdoor gardening and we might have to expand the composting area to compost this too now... Hopefully we'll get to cut back on our compost purchasing at least.
Here is the catch......do you have any idea who your audience is? I am sure that most of the people that watch your videos do not have a microgreen business or sell any of their crop. Time under the lights and 10% crop yields don't mean much to the recreational/hobby grower. All this does is confuse people. The home grower doesn't need this at all....and the business microgreen growers al ready know this info. Keep it simple....nutrients are not needed.

Thanks for having our back 🥰
I may be a day late and a dollar short to your videos but THANK YOU! You make is so easy to understand the process. You did not forget anything!

They go on the ocean and get it, right, we all know how clean oceans are😢
Please keep these videos coming. They're very helpful! Forgive me if you mentioned it, but how much ocean solution should I use?
0.5oz for every 1gal of water
giant long boring commercial
What is your ratio for ocean magic for microgreens?
Great! Thanks for the information :)
Just starting out and of all the sites i've been to on youtube, this is without a doubt the best...thank you
how is it going a year later my friend??
Keep up the great work :D

How often are you including this in your watering? Every watering? Also, what mixture are you using?
Thank you so much in advance!
Ugh! Now I know why you stopped. Worm castings are so natural

Hey can u suggest how many days ñeed to use Ocean solution...For 1 Day or everyday..Forgive my question I m beginner
As organic as you can get next to water? Water is oxygen and hydrogen, you need to have carbon to be organic. So water is actually about the most inorganic as you can get!
Appreciate your perspective! Thank you. Do you want everyday with this?

What do you think of maxi grow from general hydroponics? I've been using it for years, but might switch to ocean nutrients soon, and I want your input
Let me read up more about it and then give you my opinion

How do you know that ocean solution doesn't contain any microscopic plastic particles?
Shouldn't that be a genuine concern?
Number one concern for me as well. Please Reply if you have any information on this @princetonmicrogreens

I've peed in the ocean😊
Do you recommend this if you are using promix soil?

I believe your link for the Ocean Minerals is broken
Thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks for your video's
Thanks so much for the information ❤
Hey Pete what would be the NPK in the ocean mineral product you use.Thanks.

Do you have to ph balance your nutrient water when you use the ocean mineral fertilizer?
You could but I don't think it's too important since you're only growing the plants for a short time. Since you're not growing them to maturity, you won't run into any issues with soil ph or lockouts.
Coir has salt in it doesn't it uh
Hello, is there a NPK?
I'm really enjoying your videos, thanks! Quick question, what do you do with your used Coco Coir after you harvest?
We were giving our left over coir to a local farm, but recently are in works with signing up with Kona Composting from Pennsylvania.

You can’t filter out salt from salt water. You distill it. So that ocean water is basically distilled water with probably some minerals added.
sure you can

For those of us who want to learn more...the info is great!
They’re probably healthier with added mineral nutrients, too!
great video, nutrient mix link not valid
