I can feel the love you have for your plants. As a Gardner myself . I felt the "got a Lil sidetracked " and you potted up the baby , soon to be adult basil. I started laughing cause I have been sidetracked a many times reporting the baby stragglers. So sweet !!
Thank you so much for the Feedback Ron! We appreciate your support!🙂 So great a feeling knowing folks need some help and come to our videos for answers!!🙂
Amazing content. My mom and I love watching your channel, you're the 1st channel we watch when we want to learn about the growing process of a new type of microgreen
Hi, Citrus Basil is one of my favorite too ! you know you can keep it longer by putting it in a bottle with olive oil and keep it in a dark place during a month, then filter your oil to remove the greens. Then you just have to use your olive oil with a citrus basil flavour in your salad, it's delicious ! you also can do another one with normal basil or thai basil with some garlic, it's flavorful too
Hi your Basil is looking waaayyyy better than mine. I just noticed one thing i do different... I fill my coco coir much higher. It helps with the initial cutting when the soil is that 1 cm higher
So glad to hear about the heavier watering rather than twice daily. I just asked about the misting twice per day on FB yesterday because starting work at 6:00am with a 1 hour (60km) drive to the office will make watering in the mornings pretty difficult for me. Love your content btw, thank you.
I try googling how to grow micros for each new type I have. But ultimately I just know you’ll have a video on the one I want. thank you for doing these
I grow a lot of microgreens. My friends and family have been getting free microgreens for a couple years now. My main grow is a salad mix that has 8 different plants. While germinating it kinda smells like someone just opened some sauerkraut. I love sauerkraut, but not a fan of the smell. About 6 months ago i started growing basil, dill, and oregano. It has made quite a difference. I make sure to start new trays about 5 to 6 days before harvesting and i try to harvest a couple days between plant types to avoid not having herbs. It keeps the house smelling fresh, and i have so many uses for them. I've also transplanted some of them to grow fully and give away as gifts which helps because I'm a cheapskate.
One of the best microgreen videos, thanks. So much info and the humour keeps it interesting. All the best with your growing and I hope for more interesting vids.
Well, thankyou very much for the compliments!We want y'all to learn, so it's best to keep it fun and still informative! Thank you so much for the support Richard Green!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
Have you ever heard of Comfrey? I use Comfrey and nettle tea an my garden with wonderful results. I put a 1/4 5 gallon bucket to 1/4 nettles and cover with water with a brick on to and let steep for a week or 2 with a lid on it. Then dilute it to use on the garden. I am just getting into micro greens to add to our Outdoor/indoor Class rooms with My Child Care. Basically so we can keep fresh nutrients for the Children and my family during the winter months.
You are a GREAT teacher! I love ow thorough you are and you added the info on how to make starts from the little stragglers, awesome :) Question: Should I wash my trays before I use them the first time and should I wash them after each crop harvest before a new crop?
I have a suggestion to overcome the difficulty of the first cut to get the tray started: When you seed the tray, leave the corner of the tray without seeding. I love your videos. I watch them again and again, mostly for inspiration, because I have already learned from you the fundamentals of microgreen-ing
Great video, thank you! We just grew our 1st batch of basil & it was tiny but wonderful & we're continuing to grow it in our garden. Do you have any good harvest scissor recommendations & could you add a link for those cute pots to grow the full plants too please? 💚 Fun outfits & recipes too!
😉Pamelia Bartlett Would you Be~Leaf we're actively working on tasty recipes that will highlight the various flavors of your favorite microgreens in surprising ways...Not just a garnish...yum!!
Hmm, it could potentially be a couple thing's from what we've experienced in the past.. 1) fridge is too cold, 2) too much moisture in the storage container, which can also be bad if the fridge is too cold. 3) need a better air-tight container or bag maybe? 🤔🤔
Thanks for another good video. As for the watering. Are they (the seeds) basically left untouched for the first two days of germination. That would make life easier for me because when I mist twice a day all the seeds are coming up on the tray when I lift it up to mist.
Thank you so much for the support!! We use mainly cheap T5 LED's because they do a great job and are about $7.00/each. Here are a lot of the lights we've used with great results: www.amazon.com/shop/onthegrowfarms?listId=300RR4HQRM5I9
On The Grow I was referring to the lighting you use for your videos. Your videos always look great. I was using a couple of 500 watt “hot lights” the color balance was impossible, and we shoot directly at our growing rack, so I used 8 of the t5’s you mentioned and built a lighting rig. Maybe you might consider a video on your filming set up.
Hi there! I've been watching some of your videos over time (very informative and straight to the point). I've been growing microgreens in small plastic trays (stacked like yours) under a cheap light (it's purple). I love to cook and that's why microgreens happened. I'm 18 from Denmark and about to move from home into a small apartment. I want to keep growing microgreens and herbs (thyme, basil, lemon balm, rosemary, ect.) but i want it to look aesthetically pleasing as well. I'd love to have a rack, but it takes up too much space and I don't need that much. Any suggestions on how I can keep growing smaller amounts of microgreens in a way that looks good and dosen't mess up the place where I live visually?
I am wondering if you could have a rack with black out curtains on it instead using the upside down flat. Or just have in a separate room with no light
Yeah, absolutely! I’ve heard of people using grow tents as a blackout space. You can also make germination racks where they have no lights and made specifically for germination.

Hii..I am from India..Last 2 weeks I am following your channel..love the videos ..I am planning to start my own microgreen set up here..it will be very helpful if I get some tips from your side as the climate are here little different from your area. Usually at what temperature you follow to grow microgreens? Also the how long artificial light should be on each day ? Eagerly waiting for a reply from your side.
Hello Avik! We run our lights for 17 hours on and 7 hours off. As for temperature, we get the best growth between 75F-85F as most crops enjoy the heat. Some crops don't do as well with the heat but 90% do well with it.
@@OnTheGrow Thank you for your quick response . I am really overwhelmed. Actually in India at my place most of the time weather is hot. usually outside temp between 93-102F & also the humidity varies between 65-73%. Can you suggest what will be my basic set up for initial pilot project. I am planning to do in my 85 sqft room initially.Once it goes well then I am looking for in a bigger way.

HI Mandi, I ahve just started growing microgreens and really enjoying your videos, so much brilliant information, so thank you for that! One question, in one of your videos I saw that you were using mason jars, wondering how the microgreens last in glass jars? And do you keep the lid on them, so far I have been using plastic (ziplocs) which the microgreens have lasted really well in but I want to get away from using plastic if it is possible. Just wonderingif you have done any experiments on this? Thank you again for your super informative videos, keep them coming!
Thank you so much for the support MARK EDMISTON!! Usually we use plastic bags for our sturdier microgreens as well. For the video we put them in jars because it just looks better ! We do, however store some of our more delicate micros in jars, closed, in the fridge! Also, to date, we have not tested bags and jars for storage, but what a good idea!
Hey guys another great video, this is Jerry in Brooklyn just started my first trays this weekend. I was wondering is there a place i can ask questions concerning these first few trials. I just want to get some feedback from those who have "been there done that". Let me know and I will post my questions there.
Fantastic video as always and enjoying the food snack section, i'd love it if you had the muppets Swedish chef appear with you, i think it would look awesome, keep up the good work and stay safe :-)
So I would have to dehydrate these I don't use much basil. What are your thoughts on dehydrating, vacuum sealing or otherwise preserving the excess crops.

Hello pretty lady! Loved loved loved everything you wore in this video ❤❤❤ Question, I put a light layer of coco on top. Is that bad? I am scared they will flop with the weight 😱 I planted yesterday. I hope you see this because if it's bad, I will just dump it and start over
Just curious- I get a pretty good harvest from my sunflower and pea shoot trays inside under lights , but when I toss them in the garden, if they land face up, I get another huge harvest. What am I doing wrong?
Are you talking about post harvest tossing the remains into the garden? Some crops will grow back after harvest, but with diminishing returns and generally with poorer taste. For example, peas will grow back quite strong, but the taste and harvest weight both suffer when grown a second and third time. If you are talking about just growing outdoors, you can get some incredible harvest weights growing in the sun!
😀 karron lane Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website... www.onthegrow.net ...we are so proud of the help it provides!!!
Thank you for the support!! It really means a lot to us! It depends really... We've had some last over a month with no issues and others that had too much moisture and only lasted a week or so. If you can do a quick sanitize wash of the greens with H202 diluted after harvesting, they generally last about 2-4weeks.

Not that it really matters, but why did you switch to the corner when harvesting the Genovese Basis instead of continuing on from the middle? It seems to me it would be easier to continue on. Am I being too picky?

This is about Sonny’s not basil LOL but I came to watch your video like always for help on a new crop and I wanted to tell you the story of how I decided to listen to some other recommendations of using 250g per tray of the Sonny’s and how badly it has turned out with so much under growth picking through it getting seeds that don’t/won’t see the light they’re not gonna bloom I see. See what happens when you don’t listen to Many and CJ guys??? Just listen to Mandy and CJ !!!!!!😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Next time you grow two crops one tray, after harvesting the lemon basil, no need to flip tray and harvest the other at the end. Start at middle where the lemon ended.
What is the best way to store your microgreens? We harvested our first set of cilantro today, but I honestly have no idea how to store em for maximum shelf life.
Most stay good in baggies or containers for over a week. Keep them cold, but too cold and they will begin to breakdown and rot. So we keep ours away from the cooling element in the back of the fridge. We also use mason jars and they work great also!
@@OnTheGrow please don't heat or cook your crops. They should be eaten raw because heats destroys the some nutrient content and also softens them to reduce fibre in them.🙂 Moreover, don't worry about bacteria because your setup and environment is controlled and clean.👍🏻
I can feel the love you have for your plants. As a Gardner myself . I felt the "got a Lil sidetracked " and you potted up the baby , soon to be adult basil. I started laughing cause I have been sidetracked a many times reporting the baby stragglers. So sweet !!

Good staff here
Your channel is so fun to watch! You do a great job! Where do you find trays with lids like you use? Thanks!
If you leave the basil in the tray it typically won't grow much more after a few weeks. Is that because it needs more soil?
We have been some issues with basil browning so quickly after harvest. We’ve tried different things but it’s hit or miss. Any tips would be helpful ❤
Hmm, it could potentially be a couple thing's from what we've experienced in the past.. 1) fridge is too cold, 2) too much moisture in the storage container, which can also be bad if the fridge is too cold. 3) need a better air-tight container or bag maybe?

What is the temperature setting inside the trailer that you grow your microgreens in ?
You should look into investing in a cutting glove for when you harvest. Cooks use them in the kitchen
wearing a glove would be difficult with smaller greens as you cant feel what you have grabbed..
I am wondering if you could have a rack with black out curtains on it instead using the upside down flat. Or just have in a separate room with no light

I'm not on Facebook, but give that a try.
after harvesting the micro greens what happens to the coco core? Do you strain all the micro greens out of the coco core and reuse it?
Fantastic video as always and enjoying the food snack section, i'd love it if you had the muppets Swedish chef appear with you, i think it would look awesome, keep up the good work and stay safe :-)
my basil has a licorice taste to it on day 18. also my leaves are very very tiny.
So I would have to dehydrate these I don't use much basil. What are your thoughts on dehydrating, vacuum sealing or otherwise preserving the excess crops.

Question, I put a light layer of coco on top. Is that bad? I am scared they will flop with the weight 😱 I planted yesterday. I hope you see this because if it's bad, I will just dump it and start over
Sariah Piedrasanta light amount of coco on top is ok, I assume u mean on top of the seeds. Did they turn out well?
Actually with Basil seeds being mucilaginous, that's not a bad idea. It may help prevent them sticking to the empty weight tray that is on top.
How much do people sell the basil per ounce?
Since it is a crop that takes quite a bit longer, most people sell it for about $30-50 per tray.
Do u charge the same for the smaller ones, like basil?
Just curious- I get a pretty good harvest from my sunflower and pea shoot trays inside under lights , but when I toss them in the garden, if they land face up, I get another huge harvest. What am I doing wrong?

I watch you guys all the time and dont know your Name?
This is about Sonny’s not basil LOL but I came to watch your video like always for help on a new crop and I wanted to tell you the story of how I decided to listen to some other recommendations of using 250g per tray of the Sonny’s and how badly it has turned out with so much under growth picking through it getting seeds that don’t/won’t see the light they’re not gonna bloom I see. See what happens when you don’t listen to Many and CJ guys??? Just listen to Mandy and CJ !!!!!!😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Next time you grow two crops one tray, after harvesting the lemon basil, no need to flip tray and harvest the other at the end. Start at middle where the lemon ended.
I don’t see a link to your lightbulbs

11:29 please do a full video with that voice! :)))
Smelt?
Smelt = "It smelled" (slang) lol
What is the best way to store your microgreens? We harvested our first set of cilantro today, but I honestly have no idea how to store em for maximum shelf life.
Most stay good in baggies or containers for over a week. Keep them cold, but too cold and they will begin to breakdown and rot. So we keep ours away from the cooling element in the back of the fridge.
We also use mason jars and they work great also!
@@OnTheGrow Thanks!

lov u
Your outfits.. are so damn cute on you xo
😊 thank-you!
@@OnTheGrow please don't heat or cook your crops. They should be eaten raw because heats destroys the some nutrient content and also softens them to reduce fibre in them.🙂
Moreover, don't worry about bacteria because your setup and environment is controlled and clean.👍🏻
Couldn’t you just take the medium out and cut it level?
