  • I tried growing microgreens at home and it was an easy, cheap project to work on. It's probably the best way to grow food at home with limited space.

    Alex depending on how low you cut your peas, you may be able to get a second crop off them, also harvest with scissors you will be able to cut lower on the radish and broccoli and get more weight. Coriander problem due to sowing too densely for a longer growing crop.

    Wonder what the neighbours thought with the LED lights on certain times of day 😂

    For mold problem, you can pierce an oregano oil capsule and mix with water and spray. It is a natural anti fungal. I have done this when I grew wheatgrass indoors.

    Hi! Alex! If Coriander tastes like soap to some people then they have a different genetic variation of the receptor OR6A2.

    Hey Alex. So many suggestions already - I hate to annoy you with another. BUT the solution to your mold problem is actually Hydrogen Peroxide. I took a professional microgreens course where they got very detailed about everything, right down to the ppm and pH of the water you are using. But one of the main things they emphasized was massive use of Hydrogen Peroxide on EVERYTHING to prevent any mold.

    I think it's so cool, that you show the complete journey. Like how your first try went and what's your take from that. Not in this "I show you how to do this"-style a lot of youtuber have.

    Hello. I am from Ukraine. I grow my microgreen on the linen rugs. All sprouts stay clean. In my opinion, you planted radish very densely. Good luck!

    Alex! I just wanted to let you know what an awesome gift it was finding you. You are special bro, you feel like a best friend, like a true best friend. You are so genuine- your presence is powerful, and you just are very comforting to watch. You have a peace about you- your love of life is obvious. A joy to watch in this day and age, a reminder, life has its struggles- but, you don't need to choose to focus on that. I love your love. I wish you nothing but peace and blessings in your life, keep walking the good walk!

    I used to work in this type of business. Just try to install a small computer fan to your frame. It will help with high moisture inside your trays. Have fun with it! Also try out chives, carrot, mustard and clover! 😊
