I appreciate you reminding us all that we really can be producers, not just consumers. I also appreciate the transparency and willingness to share that I have seen from you and some of the companies you have profiled. It's a refreshing shift from the competitiveness and secrecy that typically dominates industry. Prosperity is not finite. We really can all live abundantly.
Just wanted to say THANKS for sharing LARRY! To the people who say "click bait" ... think about all the meds you won't have to buy for you / your family and the money you will save on doctors... be thankful you clicked it!
As this video just crossed 300K views, I would like to thank all the amazing people who have bought our systems as well our microgreens and have sent such awesome emails to Zhanna and myself, especially John for believing in us and sharing our farm with his many followers thank you so much. KARMA, Again We thank all of you for the AMAZING SUPPORT
@@maestria5640 No, I'm terrible at sales and marketing so I never tried. I still like the idea though. This peaks my interest, I maybe could give it a shot now, I rent a house now with a pretty good size yard and very chill property management At the time of original comment I was in a garage apartment.
Because it doesn't benefit the government. They don't want you to feed yourself. They don't want self sustaining citizens that know how to think for themselves. Abundance is the enemy of the government. That's why they poison our water and grow f'd up food for us to buy so we get sick and buy their pharmaceuticals and get more sick while they get more rich.
joe carrigan would be good if they'd bring that back. Instead of making useless human beings. Not to say that doctors or lawyers and stuff like that are useless, but Human beings have become very dependant on the system. becoming useless for basic survival.
squints palledorous watch Tekos Russian school where kids 7-17 teach each other and built own school and when they graduate they can build their own home!!
This video is 👍🏻 been growing my micro greens indoors under Happy Leaf LED grow lightsand I love them. A plus is they are USA MADE. Thanks for the vid!
This video touched me deeply. I have never in my life ever come across someone that cares so passionately about the health of the planet like you do John. Seeing you here with Larry, who also comes across as an exceptional human being really did it for me.
John ~ I must tell you how much I appreciate what you do and why!! Today I was entertaining the idea of sprouting and/or beginning to grow my own greens again. I was looking around for what I wanted to be able to do that AGAIN. (Actually, I started years ago. My mom was diagnosed with an invasive cancer for the second time. She was given a short time to live. She outlived ALL her doctors including the morbidly obese “cancer specialist” who gave her the second diagnosis! She did it with wheat grass juice, fresh vegetable juice and raw food!) Genetically I don’t look so good AND I have been under enormous stress for the past few years! (As a Chiropractor, a Naturopath and a Homeopath I am well trained in the dangers of stress. AND I was hit by a truck a few years ago walking to my car. The truck came out better than me! I lost most of what was near and dear to me ~ my health, my house, my ability to run and move pain-free through space!) I had something like this that I can’t find and have been looking to replace. I am presently living in a small space with a tiny kitchen and a house mate. As soon as I am out of this situation I will be getting the double rack set up! People do not understand the power of living foods and living greens! They are so potent that they can cure just about anything!
John, best video ever! I too was rear ended and messed up. Months later it caused a vertigo attack which almost killed me in the wilderness. Which prompted me to get a doctor who got me a nutritionist who caused me to have a heart attack. I went vegan and now I’m drug free and grow a lot of my own food. But in Boston it’s a long winter. I’ll be contacting Larry. Thanks so much. 🙏❤️
Hi Boston neighbor - from my family to yours from Westport. Have you done any of this training? We are contemplating it also. Hope you & your family are doing well!
I recently retired and researched for months ways to design a home based business with little interest and or successful outcomes, but now thanks to this video filled informational session I am into micro greens. Thanks so much
How are things going, it's been 4 years since this comment, I am just now getting into micro greens as a means of being self-sufficient and self-employed to help supplement the lifestyle I have wanted for some time now. Any advice or tips not mentioned in this video would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Why oh why an I just seeing this video? 5 years after you posted it!?! OMGosh! I could have started doing this 5 years ago! Loved this Video! Many thanks!
Just got to say I so admire what you do, John . The passion and commitment to showing us viewers is totally amazing. I just dropped Larry a few questions about his system ( inquiries based on my location in Ontario Canada ) as a result of your video. Thanks for all that you do, John... Love, Peace and Light. ... Patrick
City-Hydro did NOT raise any PRICES, we are now giving FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ITEMS the shipping cost were being unfair too many (not us UPS) so we wanted to make the shipping cost more affordable so we really did lower the overall cost. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding and THANKS EVERYONE for the AWESOME SUPPORT - John is AMAZING
Larry -- for shipping, check out www.roadie.com. Really. It's a great and affordable way of shipping that gets you out of the UPS/FedEx/big-corporate-shipper department into something human-scale and reasonably priced!
John & Larry & Mrs. Larry : Y’all are freakin’ AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing, and keep on doing what you’re doing. This planet is getting better and better because of people like you!
Wow this is so inspiring! Actually I'm depressed lately because of this quarantine and lock downs, and this video just appeared in my recommendations. Thanks I'm gonna try this out.
Why our system works! why we make the money we make!: We don't grow 50 trays of microgreens and hope we sell them, go to chefs and hope they buy... We only grow what we have STANDING ORDERS FOR, chef's tell us we will take 6 trays a week and in those trays I would like: Basil, Red Cabbage, Peas and Leek (example) every week the chef gets 6 trays of these maybe one week Leeks seeds were hard to get so I sub some Mitzuna they LOVE IT, for farmers market I grow less then I would sell thus I have ZERO WASTE if I know I sell 6-8 trays at the market I don't grow 12 hoping to see 4-6 more - If you waste microgreens your lose MONEY
WOW... This is amazing! You and your wife are amazing for sharing your knowledge , bless you❤ I'm definitely going to look into this... I am in Jacksonville Fl...I don't think we have many 4-5 star restaurants that would utilize microgreens but I'm going to check to see if there's a market here for this. Thank you 😄
We grown extra because we know we'll eat it ourselves. it's so healthy for you that we want to make sure that we get enough for ourselves as well as to sell the other people, my wife wants to start another channel where she goes over the process of growing the microgreens and selling them. Hopefully one day will come close to the quality and production that these other amazing Farmers have.
Thanks so much for this awesome video John and Larry. Larry, you are so precious and I am so sorry about your head injury. I too had brain trauma due to an accident. Instead of giving up on life you decided to do something awesome. I pray that your business is always prosperous and you have abundantly good health! God Bless You!
The thing is , is he must have healed up pretty good from his diet , because he doesn't seem to have anything wrong at all with his faculties . The guy is very with it and seems to really love what he does . Awesome vid and two nice guys .
WOW! Just saw your episode with Larry on MICROGREENS in Baltimore, from 2-years ago. I was actually looking to grow my own MICROGREENS in quart jars for healthy home use, but this Business Platform was a BONUS! I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT HOW POSSIBLE THIS SEEMED FOR ME AS A 62 year-old woman on Disability Retirement with low endurance. Although it may take me double time to get the daily stuff done. I am home pretty much 24/7 anyway to take care of a healthy business, farming like this. I will give Larry a call to get updated & find out more about the set up of the equipment. I am by myself, so that part feels the most challenging to me. I know nothing about automating the lights, temperaturing equipment, watering systems etc. The pouring out & measuring the seeds into a tray, watering everyday & watching the calendar should be no problem for me since the trays are so light with no dirt! Even delivery, I can do! Does Larry deliver or have people pickup at his place? I have an excellent Opportunity with a big tourist City nearby! Thanks. I look forward to updates with Larry! Maybe he could provide a Service if selling or setting up those trailers all set up, so less carrying back & forth when delivering & so they can be more easily sold at Flea Markets too! Like the guy in Loxihatchee FL you visited, John. AGAIN, WOW!
I haven’t been able to grow things well . Sometimes the mid day heat is too much for the plants esp w heat waves in California. I’m watering my outdoor plants but I go to work… then come back and things look burnt! I even put a net to cover some flowers… I think this video will encourage me to try indoor growing! Thank you!
Radish micro greens are the best.. All of these greens I ate when I had stage 4 melanoma with brain mets. I believe they helped me stay super healthy during my treatments... I no longer eat them but I was only given 3 months to live 10 years ago..
Thanks for sharing, been growing mung beans, alfalfa and radish together for years, its cheap and easy and ready in days, its the future. love the enthusiasm, i tell people about it. You inspired me to use my horticultural love to do something good.
John your videos are so educational, and fun!! I really appreciate your passion and desire to give everyone autonomy over their lives.. less consumption, more independent growing! Have been enjoying your videos for years....Thanks! :)
I was eating micro greens before they were a thought in someones head. I am 62 and as a 5 or so year old the spring time was the best. I foraged for sprouts and loved them.
I was looking at hydroponics systems, and came across this. Mind blown 🤯 this is amazing!!! I’ll be doing this for sure. Thanks so much to the both of you
How in the world can 102 people dislike this video? this is an awesome video, very in-depth in showing the simplicity of the process. Great job John and Larry.
Probably because he doesn't mention how much it costs to get a water filtration system, a fully enclosed zero contaminate environment, inspection time and cost and the time you have to put in to get enough people buying your greens to actually turn a profit.
The title is meant to attract selfish people. A reason I could see why people would thumbs down. Or they hate sustainability. Sustainability meaning the government enroaching on personal freedoms to protect the environment.
I have postponed three growing seasons learning about growing mediums, volume of food production, limited space for growing food, vertical gardening methods and designs...the list I could tally would put you to sleep! If food production for my loved ones ever leads to mass production for a local food pantry to distribute to I will count myself a wealthy individual. Thank you. Many blessings. 🌻
Love the counter top shelf and lighting system! I was considering doing the same myself but with multiple shelves and perhaps fish tank on the bottom, so glad to see someone did this.
John I wanted to thank you for indexing this entire video so that if I want to look at germination, or lighting or whatever, I know exactly where I need to go. Incredibly helpful. My son and I are talking now about buying a few racks from city-hydro after the first of the year because of your video. Just a matter of arranging our schedules for the two days of training from the master. Great job! I have enjoyed your videos over the last few years and appreciate your tireless efforts. Your like the energizer bunny!
Tom, Thanks so much for the kind words, looking forward to meeting you, you can bring yourself an another person to the training ;-) Have a GREAT Holiday
Wow. Interesting perspective. Have you considered slicing that with the SmartView Chrome extension: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/threelly-smartview-for-yo/dfohlnjmjiipcppekkbhbabjbnikkibo
Thank you John & Larry and Zhanna. I wish I wasn't so disabled with my mobility because I would love to try to do this. I must work harder to heal myself from this rare auto-immune neuromuscular disease called CIDP. Living off of the $200 a week from disability allowance is not possible, especially in NYC. I am planning to move to North Carolina within a year or so. I will definitely have to give this more thought! Thanks for all of the knowledge and insight!!! Blessing to you all!
Excellent advice that could be applied to starting any type of business. I started a small business, selling wild mushrooms, and mushroom products. I found myself working harder than ever before in my life. But I also love what I do so much much I can hardly call it work.
Hey John, thanks for sharing this video. AMAZING. Your passion, and selflessness is evident and enviable. I've been struggling on the monetary front in many ways, and I've come to realize much of my trouble is because my methods and my ethics are at odds. Not that I'm up to any illegal or harmful activity, but that I've been really searching for something that suits my personality, my personal experience and background, my passions, and my desire to be truly helpful to my community, AND make a reasonable profit. This has been a light at the end of a long dark tunnel and gives me some much needed motivation at just the right time. Thank you SO much for your inspiration, passion, and genuine desire to be of service. Namaste.
I watched this entire video, thank you so much for all the info! Contemplating it now in CT :) I'm sure TONS are now with covid and the lack of fresh nutritional food at the moment
Your videos are packed full of the BEST HELP & SUPPORT!!!!!! You are the Gardening Hero! I'm simply growing for personal nutrition I've found Lettuce & Spinach grown as microgreens are also really GOOOOOOOOD! Remembering to be diverse with our veggie salad stuff is a great way to begin to find what works for you. And I have a serious need for gentler fiber. The larger older greens become not only more bitter, but the fiber is harder to break down for those of us with digestive issues ~ Red & Green Leaf lettuce is quicker & easier to grow than other salads. Spinach BOLTS to SEEDING ALL SEASONS in MY OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT. 30 yrs growing experience in Salt Lake City, Utah's High Desert, with sudden environmental changes of all kinds! So~~~~~ growing Spinach as a microgreen in a controlled indoor environment will be a more successful outcome for me. If any Spinach or Lettuce happens to be ready to go at the 1st sign of safe Spring outside in ready-to-go raised beds~ wuth a few plants ready to go quickly & maybe get a few plants before sudden heat & bolting. Re-use is recycling at its best!!!!!! Thank you for all the details, & clarifying all the info we would happen upon as possible unforeseen difficulties in experimentation~ You're saving us time ⏳️, and money$$, and feeling discouraged during the learning process.🗝🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🧭🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🗝 Enjoying the Journey & the Destination! Gratitude ~ ⚓️💚🗝💚🧭✨️🦉✨️ Thank You!!!!!!
Thanks for this video and for sharing Larry with the world! What an amazing man and story. I am looking into City-Hydro now. I love their mission and feel a strong alignment with what they are doing for individual health, community health and planetary health! Love ya! ❤️
This is now a favorite video of mine, tons of information! Appreciate you for helping us out and sharing. I will do some research and try and make this 100%
I'm a 71 year old woman who was poisoned by my docs back in 2005, and have been fighting to get healthy again. I gained almost 100 pounds and I'm a tiny woman. I have been eating the carnivour diet.. mostly meat, and I"m losing weight, finally, but my hair is falling out and I feel terrible..I could do this in my home, I live alone and I need to try t get healthy again! Wow, this is it!!!
@@izzyh.3581 I have lost 72 pounds so far.. I am detoxing the poisons and eating only veggies and meat. I am getting my energy back and I"m feeling much better! Thank you for asking!
@@openyoureyes4799 hey! I am happy to hear you are heading in the right direction. It sounds like youre close to a keto diet. I just started keto and have lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks feeling great. Keto and intermittent fasting, which puts us in autophagy, very importantfor the body to heal. Anyway i wanted to ask you to please check out dr berg! I will link him here. He has so much info. I would love to see him meet these guys. Im very excited to start growing microgreens. Almost set up! Hope you have a great day. Thanks!
@@jetjaguar5200 Here's an update! I am now 72 and I've lost almost 70 pounds! I eat Keto, but limited. I never eat bread, potatoes, tomatoes, rice, cereal or any grains. I have taken years off my face and body and I feel great! I did a detox program with a natural doc...Dr. Cole, and after 5 months I felt like a new person! Now I am worried about the food shortage and I am thinking it's time to take my diet to a new level with organic, non GMO seeds..I found your channel again by accident and so here I am! I take Black Seed Oil, among other things like Coconut Oil and Olive Oil.
Go here now if you want to learn how to grow organic mushrooms cheaply: MushroomGrow.xyz Love the video man, quite encouraging to watch while waiting much to spread . I love sporeworks , and free spores is awesome also .
I was put out of a nice mid 6 figure biz, struggled for years (still am), looking for something REAL... I don't even know how I came upon this link, but I thank God I did! Thank you John, and Larry----we'll talk soon!
I have never eaten micro greens , I might have to try some. I believe i could grow these easily , I have been blessed with a green thump. I love growing plants.
self sufficient has always been the way to go...Something Big Govt doesn't like....Appreciate all your videos and sharing your knowledge and others with all of us !
$30 revenue per tray, 18 trays in growing stage with an average post-germination grow time of 4 days (so let’s say two rounds per week). That’s 36 trays per week. 36 @ $30 is about $1,000/week revenue. That’s $52,000/year. Not even close to $100,000. Also, those LED lights are not custom. Lastly, I’m sure Larry is a great guy with great intentions, and I hope he is not beyond learning because that facility could be much more efficient. All in all, great video; I really enjoyed it. One more thing: those are coconut pith mats, not coconut coir. Coir would not stay together after it got wet. Coir is the fine inside fiber of the coconut shell. Pith is the outer stringy fiber of the shell.
Trays are $40.00 but even at $30.00 12 racks 10 trays per rack in vegetative state 120 trays every 3-4 days we don't use the racks with lights on for germination that is done on different racks that fit 15 trays each that $3600.00 every 3-4 days at $30.00 a tray - the racks we sell do 6 trays every 3-4 days the growers sell trays for $50-$75.00 to restaurants and $80-$120.00 at farmers markets - Thus the money is there as for the pads we use cocofiber not coco coir you are right there coco coir would fall apart like hemp and felt mats. The LEDs are custom made for us by a leading LED manufacture to our specs - thank you for your comments
Larry is an absolute inspiration, sharing information around the world. We need a few billion more people like him, making money but also teaching others at the same time. Well done sir.
This is by far 1 of my favorite videos that you've made. Both of you are so inspiring. John, you're enthusiasm is so much fun. I love the way you ate the microgreens. And Larry I'm gonna have to reach out to you and See if This is 1⁄5 for me
Nice work on this video! Really well done! Thanks you for the hard work you did to make it. I really appreciate the information and the passion that you put into it. Awesome!
This is incredible!!! I was reading the micro green seed package that my wife just bought. I did a search and your video came up. You’re in Baltimore where I grew up!! I’m interested and I will be in contact!! Thanks for posting!!!
I gotta thank BOTH you guys for making this. 🙌🏻 You know I’ve kind of been lost in life, and I live in the perfect place to do this. I’ve got the people that are into this kind of thing and have the money to blow. I’ve been trying to grow stuff on my balcony but it’s not south facing so it’s just a bunch of crowded struggling Plants... My Japanese grandma used to grow wheat grass and other micro greens when she had cancer My Japanese grandma used to grow wheat grass and other micro greens when she had cancer (and she beat it) so I’ve known about these for a long time. I’ve never seen them at the store so I never thought about selling them or growing them plus I knew a lot of people struggled with growing them because of fungus gnats and stuff like that. It just seems like a hassle and not worth it because they’re so tiny... And I’ve also seen the thumbnail for this video a bunch of times but I never clicked it because I didn’t think it was gonna be something I would want to do but I was curious about it tonight for some reason. I’m not done the video you’re starting to interview Larry and I just wanted to write this thank you but also I hope you mention in the video how he made those LED lights or that he would be willing to share that because that something that is a crucial part of it but I would need to buy and set up. Larry is awesome and generous to share all this knowledge and I’m glad that you found him and interviewed him and put it on TH-cam
Thank you for this great video. Wow, this was 4 years ago, I'm behind the times. John you're in Vegas? Me, too. Would love to get going with microgreens. Awesome video. Thank you Larry for the knowledge. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So we are literally about ready to grow in our apartment, and then move the operation to a house... because we will have the capital then, no problem. Looking at hydroponic grow towers and now micro-greens. Looking forward to getting started! Wish us luck!
Wow, very rich information in this video John. I am a home gardener, just planting what I can grow in my backyard. I have no education as far as gardening, I just grow some plants that I know-how from my parents when I was growing up. I am so interested in this microgreens gardening. Thank you for this video.
Well i just found this video and watched it and then read a lot of the comments. Seems to me that at $40.00 wholesale per tray and 6 trays per rack you would need around 4.01 racks working at his ratio of turn over (3.5 days per tray) and that does make the math to $100,000.00. At his sales potential, and lets not forget, these are Wholesale prices he is quoting and he also mentioned his prices for Retail (restaurants and trendy markets) his plan is very doable. His room had 12 18 racks...Hmmmm a lot of $$ potential there. All you would have to do is the work of establishing the client base, life isn't a Dire Straits song. You will reap what you put in, it's just some will have to put a bit more at first then others...either that or move to a location where the big bucks are...GJ Larry...
joeshittherag man ha ha ha!!! Developing a Sell to trade business, in a lot of areas can be Very,Very hard ( really read as “impossible”) to do. Restaurants can quickly check off from a list supplied by the Vendor. He gives it to the sales guy and the goods are produced. Try it but don’t invest heavily in this. Believing you will have Great Sales!!! Chances are you won’t sell a thing, first time! Keep at it though! Maybe!!!! Also have a plan B the stuff you grow is FOOD, don’t waste it by being pissed and discouraged!! I wish you luck!!!
My Husband and I just started growing Buckwheat Microgreens and Salad Mix Microgreens in our spare room. We plan on adding microgreens into everything we eat! Oh and we are,coincidentally enough, using Mountain Valley Seeds and amazing seeds.
This video was made in 2017, I am writing this in January 2021. What Larry is saying about the degenerative diseases that he was able to “cure himself” of is fantastic. Currently, where in the Covid 19 pandemic. Everybody in the world now knows The relationship between poor health and infectious disease/death. It has been demonstrated that minorities in the USA or more at risk from death, from COVID-19. Years ago, I was made aware of how micro loans were transforming places like Bangladesh and poor villages in Africa etc. What if here in America, we applied micro loan techniques to help ambitious people who are minorities get started in this business, especially if they could sell their product in their poor neighborhoods, where I’m sure there is more of a market then one year ago. If you create a demand for quality food, people will fill the need, and in the process make a honest living. WIN/WIN

Thanks John for such an informative video.
He is talking about City-Hydro which has grown all efforts into a commercial business. Certified Organic Micro-Greens and Equipment.
bolt the rack to the wall and stack more
The only thing that wasn’t covered was how they water... how do you water in this system \\\???
We mist from the top during germination and water from the bottom during vegetative state
this guy's passion even for something as simple as a plant is inspiring
I have to say John, I love your videos but more than that I love how emotional and compassionate you are about what you do
Love you John !

I also appreciate the transparency and willingness to share that I have seen from you and some of the companies you have profiled. It's a refreshing shift from the competitiveness and secrecy that typically dominates industry. Prosperity is not finite. We really can all live abundantly.
Just wanted to say THANKS for sharing LARRY! To the people who say "click bait" ... think about all the meds you won't have to buy for you / your family and the money you will save on doctors... be thankful you clicked it!
As this video just crossed 300K views, I would like to thank all the amazing people who have bought our systems as well our microgreens and have sent such awesome emails to Zhanna and myself, especially John for believing in us and sharing our farm with his many followers thank you so much. KARMA, Again We thank all of you for the AMAZING SUPPORT
Larry Hountz you guys are just amazing, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for the kind word this is what makes it all worthwhile... have a great week
Larry, how do we get in touch with you?
larry@city-hydro.com
Hello Larry, how can I come to your farm to learn how to be a Microgreen Farmer?
I am 1-hour drive away from Baltimore, MD.
7 years in food-service, looking to get into farming, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the efforts in food safety. Great work City-Hydro!
What did you do? Did you tried MicroGreens? Im looking to it.
@@maestria5640 No, I'm terrible at sales and marketing so I never tried. I still like the idea though. This peaks my interest, I maybe could give it a shot now, I rent a house now with a pretty good size yard and very chill property management At the time of original comment I was in a garage apartment.
I’m not sure why this stuff is not taught in public schools This should be mandatory education.
Because it doesn't benefit the government. They don't want you to feed yourself. They don't want self sustaining citizens that know how to think for themselves. Abundance is the enemy of the government. That's why they poison our water and grow f'd up food for us to buy so we get sick and buy their pharmaceuticals and get more sick while they get more rich.
Basic gardening, at one time, was taught in public school, and at home, along with gun safety and use.
joe carrigan would be good if they'd bring that back. Instead of making useless human beings. Not to say that doctors or lawyers and stuff like that are useless, but Human beings have become very dependant on the system. becoming useless for basic survival.
squints palledorous watch Tekos Russian school where kids 7-17 teach each other and built own school and when they graduate they can build their own home!!
I want a dollar for everything someone wants the public schools to teach.
This video is 👍🏻 been growing my micro greens indoors under Happy Leaf LED grow lightsand I love them. A plus is they are USA MADE. Thanks for the vid!
What a beautiful way to live! with these wonderful greens and regional companies to grow. Purely clean!
🙏🌱🍃
This video touched me deeply. I have never in my life ever come across someone that cares so passionately about the health of the planet like you do John. Seeing you here with Larry, who also comes across as an exceptional human being really did it for me.
LOL
I dont think farming with leds or anythig rather than the sun light Is actually sustainable..
John ~ I must tell you how much I appreciate what you do and why!! Today I was entertaining the idea of sprouting and/or beginning to grow my own greens again. I was looking around for what I wanted to be able to do that AGAIN. (Actually, I started years ago. My mom was diagnosed with an invasive cancer for the second time. She was given a short time to live. She outlived ALL her doctors including the morbidly obese “cancer specialist” who gave her the second diagnosis! She did it with wheat grass juice, fresh vegetable juice and raw food!) Genetically I don’t look so good AND I have been under enormous stress for the past few years! (As a Chiropractor, a Naturopath and a Homeopath I am well trained in the dangers of stress. AND I was hit by a truck a few years ago walking to my car. The truck came out better than me! I lost most of what was near and dear to me ~ my health, my house, my ability to run and move pain-free through space!) I had something like this that I can’t find and have been looking to replace. I am presently living in a small space with a tiny kitchen and a house mate. As soon as I am out of this situation I will be getting the double rack set up! People do not understand the power of living foods and living greens! They are so potent that they can cure just about anything!
How ya doin?
Now that's helping people with true caring. Two number one growers. Bless you both.
Larry's a legend, it's guys like him who make the world a better place, industrious and willing to share, a rare combination.
This is the most wholesome, genuine, and educational video I've seen in quite a while. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words....
Watching this after my first harvest of alpha sprouts. No turning back now.
John, best video ever! I too was rear ended and messed up. Months later it caused a vertigo attack which almost killed me in the wilderness. Which prompted me to get a doctor who got me a nutritionist who caused me to have a heart attack. I went vegan and now I’m drug free and grow a lot of my own food. But in Boston it’s a long winter. I’ll be contacting Larry. Thanks so much. 🙏❤️
Hi Boston neighbor - from my family to yours from Westport. Have you done any of this training? We are contemplating it also. Hope you & your family are doing well!
I recently retired and researched for months ways to design a home based business with little interest and or successful outcomes, but now thanks to this video filled informational session I am into micro greens. Thanks so much
How are things going, it's been 4 years since this comment, I am just now getting into micro greens as a means of being self-sufficient and self-employed to help supplement the lifestyle I have wanted for some time now. Any advice or tips not mentioned in this video would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Why oh why an I just seeing this video? 5 years after you posted it!?! OMGosh! I could have started doing this 5 years ago! Loved this Video! Many thanks!
Just got to say I so admire what you do, John . The passion and commitment to showing us viewers is totally amazing. I just dropped Larry a few questions about his system ( inquiries based on my location in Ontario Canada ) as a result of your video. Thanks for all that you do, John... Love, Peace and Light. ... Patrick
City-Hydro did NOT raise any PRICES, we are now giving FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ITEMS the shipping cost were being unfair too many (not us UPS) so we wanted to make the shipping cost more affordable so we really did lower the overall cost. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding and THANKS EVERYONE for the AWESOME SUPPORT - John is AMAZING
Larry -- for shipping, check out www.roadie.com. Really. It's a great and affordable way of shipping that gets you out of the UPS/FedEx/big-corporate-shipper department into something human-scale and reasonably priced!
Thanks will look into it, shipping is the biz to be in ;-)
John & Larry & Mrs. Larry : Y’all are freakin’ AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing, and keep on doing what you’re doing. This planet is getting better and better because of people like you!
So much love and appreciation John! I'm a big fan of your channel, your the greatest! Thanks to you and Larry for sharing all this amazing info!
Lived in Baltimore for 20 yrs.... Loved it... Best of North n South.... Nice to view... Thanks
Wow this is so inspiring! Actually I'm depressed lately because of this quarantine and lock downs, and this video just appeared in my recommendations. Thanks I'm gonna try this out.
Why our system works! why we make the money we make!: We don't grow 50 trays of microgreens and hope we sell them, go to chefs and hope they buy... We only grow what we have STANDING ORDERS FOR, chef's tell us we will take 6 trays a week and in those trays I would like: Basil, Red Cabbage, Peas and Leek (example) every week the chef gets 6 trays of these maybe one week Leeks seeds were hard to get so I sub some Mitzuna they LOVE IT, for farmers market I grow less then I would sell thus I have ZERO WASTE if I know I sell 6-8 trays at the market I don't grow 12 hoping to see 4-6 more - If you waste microgreens your lose MONEY
City Hydro - If you have a worm farm also you can feed that to the worms. No waste.
WOW... This is amazing! You and your wife are amazing for sharing your knowledge , bless you❤
I'm definitely going to look into this... I am in Jacksonville Fl...I don't think we have many 4-5 star restaurants that would utilize microgreens but I'm going to check to see if there's a market here for this.
Thank you 😄
How do you find the correct price for selling each microgreen tray? And are you including the green trays when delivering?
We grown extra because we know we'll eat it ourselves. it's so healthy for you that we want to make sure that we get enough for ourselves as well as to sell the other people, my wife wants to start another channel where she goes over the process of growing the microgreens and selling them. Hopefully one day will come close to the quality and production that these other amazing Farmers have.
Hey fantastic vid and education. How does the chef keep the microgreens for that long?
Thanks so much for this awesome video John and Larry. Larry, you are so precious and I am so sorry about your head injury. I too had brain trauma due to an accident. Instead of giving up on life you decided to do something awesome. I pray that your business is always prosperous and you have abundantly good health! God Bless You!
The thing is , is he must have healed up pretty good from his diet , because he doesn't seem to have anything wrong at all with his faculties . The guy is very with it and seems to really love what he does . Awesome vid and two nice guys .
WOW! Just saw your episode with Larry on MICROGREENS in Baltimore, from 2-years ago. I was actually looking to grow my own MICROGREENS in quart jars for healthy home use, but this Business Platform was a BONUS! I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT HOW POSSIBLE THIS SEEMED FOR ME AS A 62 year-old woman on Disability Retirement with low endurance. Although it may take me double time to get the daily stuff done. I am home pretty much 24/7 anyway to take care of a healthy business, farming like this.
I will give Larry a call to get updated & find out more about the set up of the equipment. I am by myself, so that part feels the most challenging to me. I know nothing about automating the lights, temperaturing equipment, watering systems etc. The pouring out & measuring the seeds into a tray, watering everyday & watching the calendar should be no problem for me since the trays are so light with no dirt! Even delivery, I can do! Does Larry deliver or have people pickup at his place? I have an excellent Opportunity with a big tourist City nearby! Thanks. I look forward to updates with Larry! Maybe he could provide a Service if selling or setting up those trailers all set up, so less carrying back & forth when delivering & so they can be more easily sold at Flea Markets too! Like the guy in Loxihatchee FL you visited, John. AGAIN, WOW!
I haven’t been able to grow things well . Sometimes the mid day heat is too much for the plants esp w heat waves in California. I’m watering my outdoor plants but I go to work… then come back and things look burnt! I even put a net to cover some flowers… I think this video will encourage me to try indoor growing! Thank you!
Teach a man to fish, teach a man to garden. Good job
Larry, you are truly a lovely man, a warm, caring human.
Plant an entire field of microgreens...let John loose to graze the field like an alpaca. Good video. Much thanks John!
Radish micro greens are the best.. All of these greens I ate when I had stage 4 melanoma with brain mets. I believe they helped me stay super healthy during my treatments... I no longer eat them but I was only given 3 months to live 10 years ago..
You're the first person I believe to teach me about microgreens. I remember watching this years ago. You have great information!!
Thanks for sharing, been growing mung beans, alfalfa and radish together for years, its cheap and easy and ready in days, its the future. love the enthusiasm, i tell people about it. You inspired me to use my horticultural love to do something good.
John your videos are so educational, and fun!! I really appreciate your passion and desire to give everyone autonomy over their lives.. less consumption, more independent growing! Have been enjoying your videos for years....Thanks! :)
I was eating micro greens before they were a thought in someones head. I am 62 and as a 5 or so year old the spring time was the best. I foraged for sprouts and loved them.
Thank You for stirring up my GREATEST memories of foraging, farming, hunting and fishing...by far, BEST memories of my life !!!
not many ppl like Larry. he has a very big heart. Great video
This was so inspiring and made me happy just hearing you and Larry.
I was looking at hydroponics systems, and came across this. Mind blown 🤯 this is amazing!!! I’ll be doing this for sure. Thanks so much to the both of you
How in the world can 102 people dislike this video? this is an awesome video, very in-depth in showing the simplicity of the process. Great job John and Larry.
Probably because he doesn't mention how much it costs to get a water filtration system, a fully enclosed zero contaminate environment, inspection time and cost and the time you have to put in to get enough people buying your greens to actually turn a profit.
Disliking isnt always personal. It keeps u from getting a hundred microgreen video suggestions lol.
The title is meant to attract selfish people. A reason I could see why people would thumbs down.
Or they hate sustainability. Sustainability meaning the government enroaching on personal freedoms to protect the environment.
Cray Cray
Probably because some people can't bee pleased in any way.
I have postponed three growing seasons learning about growing mediums, volume of food production, limited space for growing food, vertical gardening methods and designs...the list I could tally would put you to sleep! If food production for my loved ones ever leads to mass production for a local food pantry to distribute to I will count myself a wealthy individual. Thank you. Many blessings. 🌻
Thank you Larry and John. You are both exceptional people and truly make the world a better place.
Love the counter top shelf and lighting system! I was considering doing the same myself but with multiple shelves and perhaps fish tank on the bottom, so glad to see someone did this.
John I wanted to thank you for indexing this entire video so that if I want to look at germination, or lighting or whatever, I know exactly where I need to go. Incredibly helpful. My son and I are talking now about buying a few racks from city-hydro after the first of the year because of your video. Just a matter of arranging our schedules for the two days of training from the master. Great job! I have enjoyed your videos over the last few years and appreciate your tireless efforts. Your like the energizer bunny!
Tom, Thanks so much for the kind words, looking forward to meeting you, you can bring yourself an another person to the training ;-) Have a GREAT Holiday
God bless you for so carefully and thoroughly sharing such valuable information
Absolutely fantastic, John and Larry. Thank you! Such great education about micro green growing, how and why. I'm in.
NobleDesignMed
Wow. Interesting perspective. Have you considered slicing that with the SmartView Chrome extension: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/threelly-smartview-for-yo/dfohlnjmjiipcppekkbhbabjbnikkibo
Thank you John & Larry and Zhanna. I wish I wasn't so disabled with my mobility because I would love to try to do this. I must work harder to heal myself from this rare auto-immune neuromuscular disease called CIDP. Living off of the $200 a week from disability allowance is not possible, especially in NYC. I am planning to move to North Carolina within a year or so. I will definitely have to give this more thought! Thanks for all of the knowledge and insight!!! Blessing to you all!
Excellent advice that could be applied to starting any type of business. I started a small business, selling wild mushrooms, and mushroom products. I found myself working harder than ever before in my life. But I also love what I do so much much I can hardly call it work.
Hey John, thanks for sharing this video.
AMAZING. Your passion, and selflessness is evident and enviable. I've been struggling on the monetary front in many ways, and I've come to realize much of my trouble is because my methods and my ethics are at odds. Not that I'm up to any illegal or harmful activity, but that I've been really searching for something that suits my personality, my personal experience and background, my passions, and my desire to be truly helpful to my community, AND make a reasonable profit. This has been a light at the end of a long dark tunnel and gives me some much needed motivation at just the right time.
Thank you SO much for your inspiration, passion, and genuine desire to be of service.
Namaste.
I watched this entire video, thank you so much for all the info! Contemplating it now in CT :) I'm sure TONS are now with covid and the lack of fresh nutritional food at the moment
Your videos are packed full of the BEST HELP & SUPPORT!!!!!! You are the Gardening Hero!
I'm simply growing for personal nutrition I've found Lettuce & Spinach grown as microgreens are also really GOOOOOOOOD! Remembering to be diverse with our veggie salad stuff is a great way to begin to find what works for you.
And I have a serious need for gentler fiber.
The larger older greens become not only more bitter, but the fiber is harder to break down for those of us with digestive issues ~
Red & Green Leaf lettuce is quicker & easier to grow than other salads.
Spinach BOLTS to SEEDING ALL SEASONS in MY OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT. 30 yrs growing experience in Salt Lake City, Utah's High Desert, with sudden environmental changes of all kinds!
So~~~~~ growing Spinach as a microgreen in a controlled indoor environment will be a more successful outcome for me. If any Spinach or Lettuce happens to be ready to go at the 1st sign of safe Spring outside in ready-to-go raised beds~ wuth a few plants ready to go quickly & maybe get a few plants before sudden heat & bolting.
Re-use is recycling at its best!!!!!!
Thank you for all the details, & clarifying all the info we would happen upon as possible unforeseen difficulties in experimentation~ You're saving us time ⏳️, and money$$, and feeling discouraged during the learning process.🗝🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🧭🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🗝
Enjoying the Journey & the Destination!
Gratitude ~ ⚓️💚🗝💚🧭✨️🦉✨️
Thank You!!!!!!
Thanks for this video and for sharing Larry with the world! What an amazing man and story. I am looking into City-Hydro now. I love their mission and feel a strong alignment with what they are doing for individual health, community health and planetary health! Love ya! ❤️
I have never seen a man care so much about people’s health ur awesome kudos
Love how it looked like an IT professional set it up.
This is now a favorite video of mine, tons of information! Appreciate you for helping us out and sharing. I will do some research and try and make this 100%
Much love John! You're an amazing and inspiring human being. We need you!
I'm a 71 year old woman who was poisoned by my docs back in 2005, and have been fighting to get healthy again. I gained almost 100 pounds and I'm a tiny woman. I have been eating the carnivour diet.. mostly meat, and I"m losing weight, finally, but my hair is falling out and I feel terrible..I could do this in my home, I live alone and I need to try t get healthy again! Wow, this is it!!!
Did you follow through and do this? Has your health improved?
I hope you're doing much better than you were a year ago.
@@izzyh.3581 I have lost 72 pounds so far.. I am detoxing the poisons and eating only veggies and meat. I am getting my energy back and I"m feeling much better! Thank you for asking!
@@openyoureyes4799 hey! I am happy to hear you are heading in the right direction. It sounds like youre close to a keto diet. I just started keto and have lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks feeling great. Keto and intermittent fasting, which puts us in autophagy, very importantfor the body to heal. Anyway i wanted to ask you to please check out dr berg! I will link him here. He has so much info. I would love to see him meet these guys. Im very excited to start growing microgreens. Almost set up! Hope you have a great day. Thanks!
@@jetjaguar5200 Here's an update! I am now 72 and I've lost almost 70 pounds! I eat Keto, but limited. I never eat bread, potatoes, tomatoes, rice, cereal or any grains. I have taken years off my face and body and I feel great! I did a detox program with a natural doc...Dr. Cole, and after 5 months I felt like a new person! Now I am worried about the food shortage and I am thinking it's time to take my diet to a new level with organic, non GMO seeds..I found your channel again by accident and so here I am! I take Black Seed Oil, among other things like Coconut Oil and Olive Oil.
THIS is so mindblowing! AWESOME CHANNEL , and greetz to LARRY! THANKS for this huge content!
I can't wait to get my farm going I figured out this is gonna be something I focus on first I'm ready to grow!
Just found you. This is awesome, especially, with the global reset going on. I'm so excited to get started. Thanks, Leigh-Ann.
The guys who made the money in the gold rush wasn't the miners. It was the guys selling the shovels and pick axes.
So u mean we should produce seeds?🤔
Go here now if you want to learn how to grow organic mushrooms cheaply: MushroomGrow.xyz
Love the video man, quite encouraging to watch while waiting much to spread . I love sporeworks , and free spores is awesome also .
Make the trays needed for the greens?
Right. They sell kits. They aren't making 100K selling greens.
AmbientVibes 🤨
Thanks for sharing. I want to get into growing all my own food with indoor and outdoor gardening and this was a tremendous help.
I was put out of a nice mid 6 figure biz, struggled for years (still am), looking for something REAL... I don't even know how I came upon this link, but I thank God I did! Thank you John, and Larry----we'll talk soon!
Thank you John for all you do, and thank you for caring so much and sharing Larry with us.
And one more thing to both you guys.... THANK YOU!!
Lovely work guys! Thanks John and Larry! Best wishes. Hope to put all this knowledge into action soon.
I have never eaten micro greens , I might have to try some. I believe i could grow these easily , I have been blessed with a green thump. I love growing plants.
HMMMMMM Is your green thump anywhere near your thumb?
self sufficient has always been the way to go...Something Big Govt doesn't like....Appreciate all your videos and sharing your knowledge and others with all of us !
John, I bought my Kuving whole juicer from you many years ago, it's still going strong.
$30 revenue per tray, 18 trays in growing stage with an average post-germination grow time of 4 days (so let’s say two rounds per week). That’s 36 trays per week. 36 @ $30 is about $1,000/week revenue. That’s $52,000/year. Not even close to $100,000. Also, those LED lights are not custom. Lastly, I’m sure Larry is a great guy with great intentions, and I hope he is not beyond learning because that facility could be much more efficient. All in all, great video; I really enjoyed it. One more thing: those are coconut pith mats, not coconut coir. Coir would not stay together after it got wet. Coir is the fine inside fiber of the coconut shell. Pith is the outer stringy fiber of the shell.
Trays are $40.00 but even at $30.00 12 racks 10 trays per rack in vegetative state 120 trays every 3-4 days we don't use the racks with lights on for germination that is done on different racks that fit 15 trays each that $3600.00 every 3-4 days at $30.00 a tray - the racks we sell do 6 trays every 3-4 days the growers sell trays for $50-$75.00 to restaurants and $80-$120.00 at farmers markets - Thus the money is there as for the pads we use cocofiber not coco coir you are right there coco coir would fall apart like hemp and felt mats. The LEDs are custom made for us by a leading LED manufacture to our specs - thank you for your comments
Thanks for the honest desire for the human kind and spreading the technologies.
Larry is an absolute inspiration, sharing information around the world. We need a few billion more people like him, making money but also teaching others at the same time. Well done sir.
This is by far 1 of my favorite videos that you've made. Both of you are so inspiring. John, you're enthusiasm is so much fun. I love the way you ate the microgreens. And Larry I'm gonna have to reach out to you and See if This is 1⁄5 for me
Thank you John for this episode!
Thank you Larry for sharing!
Larry is an amazing man!! Thank you for travelling so far to show us this video, John!!
Thanks so much for kind words, if it wasn't for all the great support we would be here, John is AMAZING
We love you guys!! So amazing and we're super inspired to get started!!
Nice work on this video! Really well done! Thanks you for the hard work you did to make it. I really appreciate the information and the passion that you put into it. Awesome!
Bravo Larry! Way to go, talk about GOING GREEN! May you and your wife grow and prosper always! Thank you so much.
This is incredible!!! I was reading the micro green seed package that my wife just bought. I did a search and your video came up. You’re in Baltimore where I grew up!! I’m interested and I will be in contact!! Thanks for posting!!!
This should be taught in schools everywhere.
why? The guy can only make 100k/yr because not many people are doing it. If everyone does this they'll be making 0$
But it won't be because public schools and most private schools are designed to turn out consumers and workers rather than entrepreneurs.
I gotta thank BOTH you guys for making this. 🙌🏻
You know I’ve kind of been lost in life, and I live in the perfect place to do this. I’ve got the people that are into this kind of thing and have the money to blow.
I’ve been trying to grow stuff on my balcony but it’s not south facing so it’s just a bunch of crowded struggling Plants...
My Japanese grandma used to grow wheat grass and other micro greens when she had cancer My Japanese grandma used to grow wheat grass and other micro greens when she had cancer (and she beat it) so I’ve known about these for a long time. I’ve never seen them at the store so I never thought about selling them or growing them plus I knew a lot of people struggled with growing them because of fungus gnats and stuff like that. It just seems like a hassle and not worth it because they’re so tiny...
And I’ve also seen the thumbnail for this video a bunch of times but I never clicked it because I didn’t think it was gonna be something I would want to do but I was curious about it tonight for some reason.
I’m not done the video you’re starting to interview Larry and I just wanted to write this thank you but also I hope you mention in the video how he made those LED lights or that he would be willing to share that because that something that is a crucial part of it but I would need to buy and set up.
Larry is awesome and generous to share all this knowledge and I’m glad that you found him and interviewed him and put it on TH-cam
Thank you for this great video. Wow, this was 4 years ago, I'm behind the times. John you're in Vegas? Me, too. Would love to get going with microgreens. Awesome video. Thank you Larry for the knowledge. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
it's a commitment but well worth it
thank you so much for this video this has really encouraged me and inspired me
John Bless you I really appreciate you for sharing such valuable information 😊
John, you are a legend. If you ever come to Dublin I want to buy you a Guinness.
So we are literally about ready to grow in our apartment, and then move the operation to a house... because we will have the capital then, no problem. Looking at hydroponic grow towers and now micro-greens. Looking forward to getting started! Wish us luck!
Aaron Prussey Good luck
John is so into what he does I feel healthier after just watching him.
This is a total success story. So happy for you guys. I would love to be able to do this in my area.
The very best video. Thanks to John and Larry 👍
Wow, beautiful indoor farm. Spotless!
Thank you for the kind words have a great weekend -
Will you have a video on how to grow the seeds for the microgreen growing. This would be the critical area of farming for the future.
Thanks, Marc
..... this is my second time watching this... an hour passed and I didn't even realized... I thought it was like a 15min video.. thanks for the info.
Same
my feelings 2.
Great business or hobby growing nutrition-packed living food! Love it!
You guys are awesome thanks for sharing from New Zealand.
How incredible....I'm watching 3 years after publication, but thanks for opening my eyes
I'm watching 6 years after 😂
Wow, very rich information in this video John. I am a home gardener, just planting what I can grow in my backyard. I have no education as far as gardening, I just grow some plants that I know-how from my parents when I was growing up. I am so interested in this microgreens gardening. Thank you for this video.
Well i just found this video and watched it and then read a lot of the comments. Seems to me that at $40.00 wholesale per tray and 6 trays per rack you would need around 4.01 racks working at his ratio of turn over (3.5 days per tray) and that does make the math to $100,000.00. At his sales potential, and lets not forget, these are Wholesale prices he is quoting and he also mentioned his prices for Retail (restaurants and trendy markets) his plan is very doable. His room had 12 18 racks...Hmmmm a lot of $$ potential there. All you would have to do is the work of establishing the client base, life isn't a Dire Straits song. You will reap what you put in, it's just some will have to put a bit more at first then others...either that or move to a location where the big bucks are...GJ Larry...
joeshittherag man ha ha ha!!! Developing a Sell to trade business, in a lot of areas can be Very,Very hard ( really read as “impossible”) to do. Restaurants can quickly check off from a list supplied by the Vendor. He gives it to the sales guy and the goods are produced. Try it but don’t invest heavily in this. Believing you will have Great Sales!!! Chances are you won’t sell a thing, first time! Keep at it though! Maybe!!!! Also have a plan B the stuff you grow is FOOD, don’t waste it by being pissed and discouraged!! I wish you luck!!!
Not 3.5 days per try - more like 7 to 15 days depending on what you grow.
@@Makyrie Not sure where you get your data but there are a Lot of growers that are making money or they would not do it.
@@Makyrie thank You, "DON'T WASTE" !!!
remember he's selling lessons and gear as well. 100 2 day lessons etc @ $1000 and thats 100k
My Husband and I just started growing Buckwheat Microgreens and Salad Mix Microgreens in our spare room. We plan on adding microgreens into everything we eat! Oh and we are,coincidentally enough, using Mountain Valley Seeds and amazing seeds.
This video was made in 2017, I am writing this in January 2021. What Larry is saying about the degenerative diseases that he was able to “cure himself” of is fantastic. Currently, where in the Covid 19 pandemic. Everybody in the world now knows The relationship between poor health and infectious disease/death. It has been demonstrated that minorities in the USA or more at risk from death, from COVID-19. Years ago, I was made aware of how micro loans were transforming places like Bangladesh and poor villages in Africa etc. What if here in America, we applied micro loan techniques to help ambitious people who are minorities get started in this business, especially if they could sell their product in their poor neighborhoods, where I’m sure there is more of a market then one year ago. If you create a demand for quality food, people will fill the need, and in the process make a honest living. WIN/WIN
Wow, wow, WOW!!! I can DO this!!! 😃👍🌱 Thank you, John ♥️♥️♥️
