I use frosted translucent takeaway containers without holes, I hydrate the coir then half fill the trays, spread the seed, mist heavily then loosely sit the lid on top. They aren't in the dark but not in the sun either, mist twice a day just to keep seeds damp until germination. I've been having success with radishes but haven't really tested any method putting something on top of the seeds.

"supposedly" strengthening the stem seems about right, I can vouch at least in my experience growing other plants, I once had an injured tomato seedling that I decided to try and save. The stem was completely busted but still attached by the outer skin so I taped it up with a toothpick. That turned out to be my strongest plant and grew with this incredible knot in the base of the stem where it repaired itself, doing some research told me with a bulkier stem due to damage + repair nutrient transmission and strength were increased greatly. wish I had a pic now the knot grew to like the size of my fist

Could method four with the weight be used when germinating Seeds(in individual cells) for transplant ? I get good germination normally but it is very uneven.
What do you think about growing on a silicone mesh mat designed for dehydrating? Would you experiment with that on a video? How would its yield compare to using dirt or coconut? thank you

AGAIN...THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
I love these experiment/comparison videos because I'm thinking about starting (for my own home eating and my cat's grass) and I want to skip all these steps and these videos really show the reasons for them well. I have a bunch of potting soil and don't really want to buy coco coir, so I'll look to see if you have that comparison and if not, it's a suggestion. For fun, it took me a long time to get that you were saying seed "hull" because it sounds so much like "hole" to my Canadian ear. Also, coir would sound more like cwa to us. :) So informative. Thanks! Did you pre-soak the seeds before this experiment?
Searching for your Crop growing guide couldn't locate the pdf file; could you link your guys crop growing guide to me? I think this should help me get started, since I am a novice to this and want to grow these beautiful plants.. Just looking for guidance Thxs!
QUESTION: What size trays are those ? You normally use 1020 shallow, but those kinda look like smaller 11x8 ish sprouting trays (hard to tell scale). I'm also presuming the white mesh inserts are 5mm mesh ?

Awesome video. Thank you for being professional and using the proper terminology for various things. I use Radicle Bags to grow in, nobody knows what the name is implying!
I would have liked to see how they all turned out at harvest time. I think we can agree that the uncovered and paper towel covered ones are not optimal, but maybe the weighted one and covered one would have turned out too close to call.
Great videos! I’ve been binge watching before attempting to grow micros. I don’t have much room in my house for extra lights but set up a small shelf near a window, would this be sufficient light for them to grow?
🙂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! 😉With that being said...would your shelf support a light vs the light from outside your window? P.S...Check us on TikTok when you can!

What do you do with the potting soil/ coconut coir/medium after you harvest the greens? Can you reuse it or do you throw it out and start with fresh soil again?
We compost it in our outdoor compost, then we reuse only in our outdoor beds. The reason being is bacteria and also any left over seeds will sprout up randomly. We've heard of ways to "reuse" it - but it sounds too risky considering how densely you sow microgreens. Instead - we start over fresh when using those grow mediums.

I have learned an amazing amount about growing microgreens from your channel, for which I am very appreciative! Could you do something regarding flavors of different microgreens? So far the ones I have grown don’t have much difference in the flavors (although t could just me me!) Thank you!
Maybe one day, tech will somehow invent telescent (like television for the nose) or teletaste (tv for tongues). Until then, this may not be as easy as it sounds. Whether in the spoken word, written word or even with motion picture and video, flavor is something very difficult to describe. Indeed, the in-mouth experience includes texture, crunch, density and more. Further, many things change flavor under chew, rice for example. Till later, we keep dreaming.

I'm curious, do you guys use the green smaller trays to do production grow for your sales or are they used just for testing? I see more of the 1020 trays. Thinking of picking up the green trays just because they fit the rack vs the 1020s. The 1020s are so long if placing 4 on each rack.
We do like the green trays for smaller grows and for people with less space! 😀 mankybrains 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!!!
I will add that to the next trial! It works really well doing it that way, but you generally run into issues with the coco being dragged up into the canopy and covering the microgreens a lot more. Top watering it can help clean the microgreens when this happens... Thanks for the support and for sharing!

💚Thank you so much for the support Kalyani Sathi!! 💚If you have a "Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace Hardware or Walmart or Acme brick company...just purchase something ~1ftx2ft and flat 15lbs (divide in half for smaller 7.5lb weight)! 😄
Thank you for that question Arne Fickert ! The weighted phase is done to 90% of our trays...the major exception has to do with ho fragile the seed is. 🙂We really appreciate your support!!
We don"t suggest the extra layer of soil on top, because as your seeds push through it, you will get a very dirty crop! Also, it is not enough weight, compared to a 7 pound brick. Thank you so much for the support Khánh 'Minh' Nguyễn!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
🙂Thank you Khánh 'Minh' Nguyễn 🙂We really appreciate your question...just visit a hardware store like say Home Depot...pick a paver brick off the shelf!
The coco media arrived so I now have everything to get started with 5 trays and space for 2-3 under my Properation light (110w T5 6500k) I'm going to get my grow on and see how I do
Not even artificial light? We suggest using Three 20watt T5 LED’s per shelf. We look for a minimum of 6,000 lumens per shelf. We have used these for a while with great success www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2WMCP2?tag=onamzonthegro-20&linkCode=ic5&ascsubtag=amzn1.infl.us.product&creativeASIN=B07F2WMCP2&ref=exp_onthegrowfarms_dp_vv_d
I'd be curious to see someone do a test where it's fully open air with a fan but gets very regular misting, like every 2-4 hours, then maybe covered overnight. Especially with a crop that might be problematic in terms of disease or mold when covered. Edit: Nice shirt design BTW.

Have you done experimentation with different amounts of weight? The reason I ask is because the flat rectangular pavers I found at Lowes said they were 16 pounds and I know another microgreens youtuber says his paver is 14 pounds and you guys say ties are 15 pounds. I'm guessing it really doesn't matter, buy I bet at some point there is a threshold where the seeds are like "no way man, it's too heavy"! 🤔🙄

Is there a reason you don't cover the seeds with a small amount of coco coir and/or use a humidity dome to hold in moisture?
would some sort of humidity dome help eliminate the need for a weight? Maybe make a humidity locked shelf or something idk. just curious if that would be equivilent to a weight+tray on top
Truly common question. Excellent answer. I still miss the intro with the key toss (shows the teamwork, cooperation attitude, loved it.)
The Key toss was a lot of fun :) I might have to bring that back! We need to film a new intro anyways! Thank you for your continued support!!!

On The Grow have you ever experienced during the germination period your roots not showing through your 1020 mesh Trey. It looks like right where my weight was the roots haven’t poked through like the rest which looks amazing. I just took weight off this morning and it will hopefully look better this evening.

Did you consider putting a humidity tray on top to stop everything from drying out?
Pretty good content.
Thanks.
Will fresh beans from garden germinate or do they have to dry first ?
Great Micro-Green Channel. Thanks for all your help
We love it when we can help people Be-Leaf they can become microgreen growers! It really makes our day!!
Awesome video ! Thank you for the insight how useful 👍
Could method four with the weight be used when germinating Seeds(in individual cells) for transplant ? I get good germination normally but it is very uneven.
But how long should the microgreen be in blackout period and compressed weight for:
a) green beans?
b) maple seeds?
Thank you
What do you think about growing on a silicone mesh mat designed for dehydrating? Would you experiment with that on a video? How would its yield compare to using dirt or coconut? thank you
how long before harvesting after the dark day? After the dark day, do you just keep the box open?
Looking at your shirt I thought it might be a cool video to do commonly used terminology or proper terminology for microgreens. Just a thought. Or maybe it can be a part of the master class coming soon =)

KEEP-UP THE GREAT-WORK...AND...ANDY YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT TAKING-VIDEO ANGLES .
AGAIN...THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
I love these experiment/comparison videos because I'm thinking about starting (for my own home eating and my cat's grass) and I want to skip all these steps and these videos really show the reasons for them well. I have a bunch of potting soil and don't really want to buy coco coir, so I'll look to see if you have that comparison and if not, it's a suggestion. For fun, it took me a long time to get that you were saying seed "hull" because it sounds so much like "hole" to my Canadian ear. Also, coir would sound more like cwa to us. :) So informative. Thanks! Did you pre-soak the seeds before this experiment?
Searching for your Crop growing guide couldn't locate the pdf file; could you link your guys crop growing guide to me? I think this should help me get started, since I am a novice to this and want to grow these beautiful plants.. Just looking for guidance Thxs!
🙂Thank you so much for the support!! It really means a lot to us GLynn Rocky! have you visited onthegrow.net ...we have PDFs and more at hat site!!!
QUESTION: What size trays are those ? You normally use 1020 shallow, but those kinda look like smaller 11x8 ish sprouting trays (hard to tell scale). I'm also presuming the white mesh inserts are 5mm mesh ?
Awesome experiment , thank you
I’m still learning. Why can’t you plant the seeds slightly under the surface to begin with?

Thanks for this video! Wow, I'm a believer now!! What a difference. (My microgreen tray looked like your first one for a long time!!) The next one is getting a weight!!
Thank you for watching Joanne Donovan!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!
Weight does make a difference...your going to be my next "poster child" for when I get that question about weights vs no-weights again!!!😉
If I've not put any weight on the seeds, would it be too late to do it at day 3-4 or should I just start all over again? :)

Can coco coir be mixed with top soil or potty mix to get more nutrients ?
What kind of trays are these
What kind of trays are those?
Where do you buying colored trays
I wonder if the tray with no weight or paper towel would have benefited from (or make more consistent) if an empty tray would have been placed on it upside down like normally done during blackout 🤔
Great question! I would think so... It would keep it from drying out so fast most likely... Thanks for sharing!

💚Thank you so much for the feedback Tom Bryant!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
I would have liked to see how they all turned out at harvest time. I think we can agree that the uncovered and paper towel covered ones are not optimal, but maybe the weighted one and covered one would have turned out too close to call.
Great videos! I’ve been binge watching before attempting to grow micros. I don’t have much room in my house for extra lights but set up a small shelf near a window, would this be sufficient light for them to grow?
🙂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!
😉With that being said...would your shelf support a light vs the light from outside your window?
P.S...Check us on TikTok when you can!

Did you remove the wand from the sprayer?
We remove the extension wand, yes! Only use the sprayer directly connected to the hose
How much weight we need to put..In Kg??
What do you do with the potting soil/ coconut coir/medium after you harvest the greens? Can you reuse it or do you throw it out and start with fresh soil again?
We compost it in our outdoor compost, then we reuse only in our outdoor beds. The reason being is bacteria and also any left over seeds will sprout up randomly. We've heard of ways to "reuse" it - but it sounds too risky considering how densely you sow microgreens. Instead - we start over fresh when using those grow mediums.
If you want something reusable, check out the product we sell

I have learned an amazing amount about growing microgreens from your channel, for which I am very appreciative! Could you do something regarding flavors of different microgreens? So far the ones I have grown don’t have much difference in the flavors (although t could just me me!) Thank you!
Maybe one day, tech will somehow invent telescent (like television for the nose) or teletaste (tv for tongues). Until then, this may not be as easy as it sounds. Whether in the spoken word, written word or even with motion picture and video, flavor is something very difficult to describe. Indeed, the in-mouth experience includes texture, crunch, density and more. Further, many things change flavor under chew, rice for example. Till later, we keep dreaming.

Great tests!
I'm curious, do you guys use the green smaller trays to do production grow for your sales or are they used just for testing? I see more of the 1020 trays. Thinking of picking up the green trays just because they fit the rack vs the 1020s. The 1020s are so long if placing 4 on each rack.
We do like the green trays for smaller grows and for people with less space! 😀 mankybrains Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website...

I wish you had a tray with a tiny layer of cococoir covering the seeds with no weight.
I will add that to the next trial! It works really well doing it that way, but you generally run into issues with the coco being dragged up into the canopy and covering the microgreens a lot more. Top watering it can help clean the microgreens when this happens... Thanks for the support and for sharing!
@@OnTheGrow Thank you so much for your response. I am actually doing it right now and you are right the coco remains on the canopy.
Would be great if you also test the cococoir depth variation too.

Where do we get the paver
💚Thank you so much for the support Kalyani Sathi!! 💚If you have a "Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace Hardware or Walmart or Acme brick company...just purchase something ~1ftx2ft and flat 15lbs (divide in half for smaller 7.5lb weight)! 😄
And which seeds do need more weight and which less?
Thank you for that question Arne Fickert ! The weighted phase is done to 90% of our trays...the major exception has to do with ho fragile the seed is. 🙂We really appreciate your support!!
Great video!1
Do you think I can add another layer of soil on top as a substitute for weight?
We don"t suggest the extra layer of soil on top, because as your seeds push through it, you will get a very dirty crop! Also, it is not enough weight, compared to a 7 pound brick. Thank you so much for the support Khánh 'Minh' Nguyễn!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
@@OnTheGrow Do you have suggestion where I can purchase weight for 1010 tray? Thank you.
🙂Thank you Khánh 'Minh' Nguyễn 🙂We really appreciate your question...just visit a hardware store like say Home Depot...pick a paver brick off the shelf!
Do all Microgreens need weight? I'm reading that I dont need them for alfalfa and brocolli

Can't wait to hear how it turns out Ben Tv Howman! Let us know if you have any questions!!
For people who use metrics
3 ounce = 56 grams (approx weight of tray)
7 pound = 3.2 kg (extra weight put on tray 3)

Not even artificial light? We suggest using Three 20watt T5 LED’s per shelf. We look for a minimum of 6,000 lumens per shelf. We have used these for a while with great success www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2WMCP2?tag=onamzonthegro-20&linkCode=ic5&ascsubtag=amzn1.infl.us.product&creativeASIN=B07F2WMCP2&ref=exp_onthegrowfarms_dp_vv_d
I'd be curious to see someone do a test where it's fully open air with a fan but gets very regular misting, like every 2-4 hours, then maybe covered overnight. Especially with a crop that might be problematic in terms of disease or mold when covered.
Edit: Nice shirt design BTW.
Thanks for the compliment! I think that would be a good experiment!

Have you done experimentation with different amounts of weight? The reason I ask is because the flat rectangular pavers I found at Lowes said they were 16 pounds and I know another microgreens youtuber says his paver is 14 pounds and you guys say ties are 15 pounds. I'm guessing it really doesn't matter, buy I bet at some point there is a threshold where the seeds are like "no way man, it's too heavy"! 🤔🙄
