Growing 10,000 Chia Seeds | Time Lapse Laboratory

In this Time Lapse Laboratory video I filmed Chia Seeds growing, rehydrating the seeds, and the roots germinating. I was able to get some great shots of root hairs growing through soil, and a few great examples of positive phototropism.
This video is one of many narrated time lapse videos on this channel.

I just placed the chia seed on a kokedama ball and it grew completely covered overnight and it is thriving.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Love this so much, so many cool explanations and shots of what's happening

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Thanks really worked hard to put something cool together

[@larkinlover]

I found this on Reddit and got totally sucked in til the very end, your explanations are so well-researched and scientific! I love how analytical your mind is, I can really tell from the precision and care with which this video was made. Question, can you eat the sprouts? Are they nutritious? I really wanted to eat one, haha!

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Glad you enjoyed the video. You can eat the sprouts, they are a good source of fiber, contain protein and other minerals.
They go well on sandwiches, although I found that too many sprouts on one can make it taste wet due to the water content in the sprouts.

The Way U Said Opportunity At 8:50 😂😂

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Well I can’t unhear that now. I have no idea why it’s like that that’s part of the voiceover narration, and it sounds like it’s a mic issue. But it is so weird that it doesn’t crop up any other place. I don’t remember having any issues during recording…… but like you heard there it is. Opper./tunitý.

i've only recently started growing chia after watching youtube clips like yours. mine said best by date 2019 but still sprouted. i am going to try to grow some to full adulthood. the rest i will make a salad with. Such a cool seed

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

They are a really cool plant. I don’t remember if it made it into the final video, but I tried to sprout some seeds that were old initially in this project and it didn’t end up working. I had to purchase new seeds that sprouted right away. They can last well past the shelf date, but I found when trying to grow them having the newer seeds led to a much better result, and more uniform growth across all of the planted seeds.

[@johnolaoluwa]

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@dyondo]

very cool, love how they end up looking in that terrarium

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

I was really happy with how that shot turned out.

[@tediz8280]

Very interesting video! Thank you i will experiment with the seeds too! so you can just eat the plants? are they even more healthy in plant form?

[@JarMaster]

So addicting

[@leopolddb9955]

Cool stuff!

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

It was a cool project to film.

[@HioImMario]

Amazing video dude!, this is exacly what i was looking for, that sub was earned

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Fantastic. The sub is appreciated. Glad the video was what you were looking for.

[@redrockingrobinhood1427]

I’m just curious I want to add Chia seeds to my lawn. What do you think about that? Will it work?

[@Paul-kd3ui]

Have you ever separated the seeds based on phenotype, ie Gregor Mandel style?

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

I have not, chia seeds in my experience don’t have phenotypic variation like pea seeds do.

[@LittleRedF150]

Very good video, I’ve been growing for a while and I learned stuff! I thought it was quite interesting how they had that gel on them.

[@semi5alpha]

Hello. If Chia is planted on a Cogon grass area, will Cogon dominate Chia?

[@akshitbansal1839]

bro why have u stopped uploading...u could have grown folds with ur content...hope u r fine

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Working on some new projects, I recently got lost in some edits (much longer videos) and have had some things in my personal, and professional life take up a bit more time than before. I’m hoping to have another video out in the near future. Thanks for the comment and encouragement.

[@akshitbansal1839]

@@TimeLapseLaboratory Oh that's nice.
Glad u are fine✌️

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Just posted a new video th-cam.com/video/zlZ3rtJoAMg/w-d-xo.html

[@peaceandlove5214]

How many seeds each plant of Chia can produce?

[@A1Indiannn]

Can I use them to grow inside my aquarium

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

If they are above the water then yes. They do not grow submerged.

[@onism8906]

u dont need to rehydrate them. a moist towel, a spray of water does the work (this worked for me)

[@MoniJohnson]

Gelatinous gel, huh?

[@TimeLapseLaboratory]

Indeed

[@STOPMOTIONLOV3R]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@onism8906]

chia seeds smell so awful 🤧😓

[@return2earthvideochannel]

Healthy chia seeds do not smell bad.
