Those aren't micro greens... they're micro reds! lol j/k. Love the idea of putting the towel on the soil for a clean harvest. Thanx for another great video!
This is awesome. I've been looking for something like this - a clean system for amaranth microgreens. I started growing amaranth this year, and knowing the kind of seed yields I could get, I've been investigating ways to consume it en masse. You're a life saver!
Love watching your tips it's so easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to educate us.
Wow, those amaranth sprouts have such a nice color! I like this method, thanks for sharing Khang! =)
Very cool clean method using the papertowel! I've never seen that before.
Your videos are very well done. I've enjoyed watching them.
I liked seeing the towel method over the soil. It looks like the best of both, get the clean harvest with the towel, but roots can reach nutrients in the potting mix. Thanks Khang for sharing that.
Thank you Peter!
so beautiful and healthy thx Khang!!
Thank you for the new methods.
Thank you for the easy understandable video and it's amazing to watch it. Keep going.
Awesome..I love this idea of the paper towel.
Try the same method without the soil, no trouble no mess, just pick and eat. At harvest it"s best to wait till the sprouts have a double set of leaves, you're picking yours up a little too early, wait another couple of days and you'll triple your yeild. Best vibes to you and keep those vids coming.
Lambert Guimond The soil gives the plants a boost of nutrients which they can not photosynthesize themselves from sunlight. Amitabh
Definitely bigger & better when grown in a bit of soil or coco
Thank you so much ! From Canada.
Hi Khang ! Use small strainer to spread the seeds evenly ! . Love your video!
If you cut a pc of widow screen ( non metallic ) to fit individual containers , you can place it down, first, then paper towel on top. The screen allows drainage & multiple uses with no possibility of dirt problems. Very good video! Thanks, Shalom!
I am definitely trying this!
One question: did the roots stay on top of the paper towel or did they grow through? I couldn't tell in the close up shot.
Awesome video!
Thanks for the video.Really nice.....
Great idea
i use paper towel even sunflower seeds and they work fine for everything, even sunflower seeds
very pleasant voice
Now, why didn't I think of that in the first place. Thanks, matey. ;-)
King Khang does it again. I need a bigger house - So much to grow, such little time.
Using the paper towel to keep the microgreens clean is brilliant!
so nice... i love ur chanel
the plant whisperer you are a genius.. thanks :)
Love your voice x
Amazing!!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
What's up Leon!
Khang Starr what's the purpose of micro greens?
They are a living food. They can go from growing to harvest to your stomach in minutes. Chock full of enzymes. Not like a dying cucumber sitting in the fridge for who knows how long.
I tried Red Garnet Amaranth and I thought the micros tasted like beets.
Hey Khang. Great idea with the paper towel! I will try it soon. Can you just lift up the towel to harvest all at once? Can you reuse the soil right away or compose it and use fresh each time? If you can reuse, how many times before composting?
Lovely reds
If you hadn’t cut off the excess paper towel and had just left it hanging down the sides, you could have placed your container inside of a second container filled with water and the paper towel would have stayed constantly moist, via wick action...eliminating the need to water at all.
Hi when you worked on ZZ plant for root growth, can you please tell me the brand of the rooting hormone powder you used?
beautiful red Amaranth ! nice ides with paper tower and hope no more gnats insects with this method :))
I didn't know there were sprouts that were _pink!_ I've totally gotta go to Elliot's or the Food Coop and see if they carry these seeds, and also beet seeds! (don't like beets, but maybe the sprouts won't be so bad)! I can't wait to try these! : )
This is so cool! Sorry if this has been asked, but if I snip them will they grow back?
I have some red amaranth excellent video as alway khang star . love your videos . This is ment to be super healthy as well
Bobby Organics
i love the way you make it..i would try it..its hot here in philippines but i can make it..its summer here,but i have my great solution..
can amaranth be eaten or for decoration only
do all types of amaranth sprout in this red colour, or are there different ones ?
I can buy seeds @ the supermarket for like 2€/tiny bag or those big ones @whole foods for way less - but i don't know if the stuff @whole foods is the same - i mean, the red ones :/
Hi why is it you don't need holes in the container for growing? How would I.know whether there's too much or too little water then?
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we transplant these seedlings to the field?
Hi..The paper towel is the type washable or the kitchen paper towel?
If there is no sunlight, can we use led grow light? Or just beside windowis also good enough?
If you use peat moss as the growing medium, you can also eat the roots.
I have a doubt,how long do we have to keep on sunlight? Can u pls mention the temperature req as well??
Can we grow spinach/swiss chard like this also?
What kind of soil you used
Thank you 🙏 ❤❤
Any other types of greens besides amaranth that I can plant
New Sub!!!!
Does your pot have holes on bottom?
WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE WE CAN PURCHSE THE SEEDS TO PLANT.
i really like your channel! your production quality is so good compared to othrt channels. i do have a question. Do you need soil at all? Would the paper towel not be enough growing medium by itself?
You don't need soil for small sprouts like these, or broccoli or mustard greens.
When do you stop putting the plate on? Day 5?
Can you use this method for all soil sprouts and microgreens? Thanks so much for your videos.
I usually do this for all microgreen types that have small seeds.
Where do yiu huy your seeds?
How do you know whether the paper towel is bleached or not?
I didn't get what seed you used here ? Can you please tell is there any other name ?
Great video. Afer you harvest all of the amaranth, can you use the soil again?
Throw the soil in your compost, they will make excellent new soil.
hi..thank you so much for clear and detailed information.. how can we ensure that the paper towel we use is chemical free..? thank you
It should say it on the label. Something like "no bleach used" or "naturally made" etc..
I tried the papertowel method, why is growing white fuzzy stuff, don't think it's mold, probably from paper towel... but it didn't have chemicals.....????
Thank you Can they grow and mature into full plants to produce more seeds?
absolutely, but they will need lots of space and sun outdoors.
Could you just go to Hydroponic cloth?
they started sprouting in one day?! did you have them on any type of heat? and if not what kind of magic water are you using? lol! the red is gorgeous!👍
hahah yes, I was very surprised. I did not use a heat mat. They were sitting in the corner of my living room covered.
Sprouting happens pretty fast. I can share his experiences. 1-3 days, room temperature and indirect light, harvest in 1 week or 10 days. That's it.
hey, thanks for the video! do I really need the soil or can I also just use the wet paper towel?
Luise Margarete Just use several layers so they won't dry out too fast. I mean on the bottom, not the top.
I use paper towels also and use 2 layers and it works fine even sunflowers
Great video....what do you mean by "Harvest what you need?
Cut only what you need to use, leave the rest to grow.
I heard that paper towes are toxic, and why do you to place them in soil?
Do you have a list of all the seeds that we can grow as micro greens?
I don't have a list, but you can go to Johnny selected seeds and view theirs.
Are they ok to eat? I am reading they were banned in the u.s. because the leaves can be toxic. I that a bunch of bull?
Do you encounter any mold issues when using this method?
Yes, I have encountered mold before, and it's usually caused by too much moisture, lack of air circulation. Try to reduce the amount of water, in crease airflow and that should reduce the chances.
Why do you need paper towel not just putting directly into the ground?🤗
Hi Khang, I want to grow red amaranth as microgreens but when I compare the seeds prices they are super expensive! What I need to know is how heavy the seeds are. Compared to other small seeds, would you say they are light like lettuce? or heavy like broccoli?
The Picket Fence Life : I don't know where you did checked the prices from the seeds, but don't be so complicated^ ;) Instead to purchase a small bag with a few seeds (ok, there are a lot inside, they are very tiny and light), go to the store and buy a bag of amaranth for cooking^ There are 500g or 1kg packages for a resonable price, and you will have amaranth seeds for a loooong time 😅
Thanks. Are the amaranth you buy at the shop to eat red garnet though?
Mine are about ready to harvest, but they're bright green... was expecting for them to be red. Am I doing something wrong?
It could be that your seeds are the green variety. Amaranth comes in different colors.
These were red garnet.. And the picture advertised was red like yours lol
I'm thinking I may have introduced them to indirect light too soon.
Very awesome. I’ll be trying this.
Yea, microreds !!! Why not use an old spice shaker with small holes to distribute tiny seeds ???
I've been trying for months to grow amaranth with no success. Around day 7 or 8 (just before they start to get big enough to cut) I get huge sections start to die. I can't tell if it's from over watering, under watering, too much light, too little light, too dense of seeds, not dense enough seeds. Seems like no matter what I do, the same thing happens!! Only thing I haven't tried is adding nutrients to the water (no one growing them successful suggests this anywhere online). Any suggestions!?!?!?
It's probably due to over watering and too dense of seeds.
Do you water from above? Sometimes, water droplets get stuck on the stem when they're watered from above especially when they've gotten taller.
Idk why these other videos are 30 minutes long. You need soil, water, and seeds. Bam
That's it. That's all you frigging need idk why it takes 30 minutes to explain thay
Goet gaaden
I have a issue with micro greens. after uncovering on 3rd day it looks like formation of fungus on top and keeping open attracts bugs and flies.
what's the issue with mine micro greens
If you see mold, or white fuzzes, that's because the humidity is too high. Check this video th-cam.com/video/0t70303Gp_c/w-d-xo.html
Tried this method, didn't work :(
I truly enjoy your videos. Just one downer in this video however. I don't like to see you using the styrofoam plate. That has to be one of the worst products for our environment. Sorry Khang, I just had to mention it, otherwise you are a very inspiring gardener.
Cherie Camp I reuse many styrofoam items I get, such as drinks cups. It is amazing how many containers I can accumulate in a very short time just from re-use items I get from restaurants or food containers, such as what salad greens come in, yogurt cups, soups, potato salads, etc.
I didn't get what seed you used here ? Can you please tell is there any other name ?
Amaranth is called Rajgira in India
