What do I need to grow microgreens?

When are radish microgreens ready to harvest?

They are typically ready when they are approximately 5 cm high or when the first true leaves appear.

How can I ensure a continuous supply of microgreens?

Sow new seeds every 7-10 days, or sow half a tray at a time for convenient, continuous crops.

Is it important to clean my growing trays?

Yes, it is important to ensure growing trays are thoroughly washed before they are re-used for sanitation and to prevent cross-contamination.

Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure seeds are kept consistently moist and are not drying out. Check if the sowing medium is sufficiently moist before sowing.

Mold or fungus growth

Improve air circulation around the tray. Avoid overwatering and ensure the tray is not sitting in standing water. Clean trays thoroughly before reuse.

Slow growth

Verify the growing area receives adequate light and is at a suitable temperature. Sowing times can vary with growing conditions.

Leggy or weak seedlings

Ensure seedlings are receiving enough light. Insufficient light can cause them to stretch and become weak.
