🥳 Looking for a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to traditional microgreen trays? Join us as we share our success with growing microgreens in sprouting trays! These trays are not only cheaper but also slightly smaller than the standard 10x20 trays, offering a convenient advantage. However, it's important to note that sprouting trays come with their own challenges as they're designed for sprouts, not microgreens. To help you overcome any obstacles, we've created a step-by-step tutorial on achieving successful microgreen grows using sprouting trays. Check out our blog for additional insights and key points.👨‍🌾👩‍🌾🥳

TIP FOR GREEN AMAZON SPROUTING TRAYS: Ive found it helpful to use a black sharpie marker to mark a 1" fill line (measured from above the bottom), which greatly simplifies maintaining a proper fill level when bottom watering - you want the water level with the bottom of the mesh tray. Getting the fill level right is CRITICAL for these trays, because depending on how much you underfill them, the sprouts have to work longer and harder to reach the water level, and that not only slows down their growth, but tends to stunt or even kill off many of the struggling radicals. If you see brown or black in the radicals, that's BAD.

@ireneb3433 Жыл бұрын

another suggestion for finding the right fill level could be to place white net tray into bottom green tray EMPTY OF ANY GROW MEDIUM OR SEEDS; then grab a measuring jug filled with water and start emptying into the tray WHILE CAREFULLY WATCHING TO SEE WHEN THE WATER LEVEL STARTS TO VISIBLY TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF THE WHITE MESH TRAY. Then either (i) take note of the volume of water required to get to that level, or (ii) carefully remove the white tray and make a mark on the bottom tray with either a sharp exacto knife or a sharpie, to indicate where the water level needs to be.

@chasklos9014 Жыл бұрын

Yep! Exacting accuracy!

@kimalexander8378 Жыл бұрын

I agree. Making a water level mark on the outside of the tray can be helpful, especially when first filling the reservoir tray. However, at subsequent checks, with white tray lifted, less water will be needed due to the increased number of radicals, and later roots, entering the water, and the overall volume increases. Subsequent water fillings will need to be somewhere “just below” the initial water fill line so that when the white tray is lowered again, the water level will be at the mark initially indicated.

@cathyphegley7848 Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for this helpful advice👍

@RovingPunster Жыл бұрын

@@cathyphegley7848 Another tip: you can sow seeds smaller than the mesh holes on the white tray insert by buying some reusable stainless steel mesh of the desired aperture (ex: 1mm), and cutting it to fit. Misting with water just before sowing also helps limit dropthru, if the sizes are close.

I'd like to thank you for the excellent, informative and charmingly presented videos. They have helped me enormously. I will very much appreciate it if you can help me further by answering a question on ambient temperature. I'm setting up a grow station in my garage for home consumption and gifts to family and neighbours and so on, about ten trays, grown under full spectrum 300W equivalent LED lights. I'm based in Northern England and last night the temperature in the garage fell to -4C (25F) and the highest daytime temperature is currently 5C (41F). I can construct a heated propagator-type base to keep the tray at about 18C (65F) but raising ambient temperature significantly will be difficult and expensive. Can you advise what the minimum air temperature is, assuming an 18C base/grow medium temperature, to allow the greens to thrive? An estimate will be good enough. Many thanks in advance.

Nice microgreen I suggest you to make some closing layer from slmuniumfoil for cover the light , so the light Will fully shine the microgreen.

Thanks for sharing this ^^ is this kind of tray is suitable for hydroponic/ not using any soil? I've been trying to plant sunflower with this kind of tray and it's quite challenging :( Thank you ^^

Thanks for this video, Mandy and all your wonderful tips!!!! Wondering why you don't suggest using the black half trays that you have linked in your amazn store istead of these green trays? Just curious.

Do you have a clip showing how to grow mung trays. I think I may have overlooked it.

Thank you for this helpful video!! Do I need a grow light for this or would natural direct sunlight in a windowsill or even outside work?

@OnTheGrow 2 жыл бұрын

Glad that you found our video helpful!! Either would work. Grow lights would give you the best / most even results. Windowsill will work too, as long as there is enough light. If you go with the outside route, I'd suggest having a shelf / place for the greens to grow where they are not in direct sunlight. :D

What would the ideal seeding rate be using these trays for sunflower seeds? Thanks ! great videos 👍

Very informative. How to use 1020 trays and what is the difference? Which one is better? Thank you.

Can you also use a green bottom tray at the beginning as well or do you suggest to not use one as I do have extras

@waltroderick101 2 жыл бұрын

These trays are sold as no medium grow trays. My first attempt was with peas (sprouting/microgreen) and the results were disastrous. Took way to long to germinate (yes, I soaked them) and I eventually had to throw them out. Is there a way to use these without soil that is effective?

@hming2009 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you this is very helpful! Would you do the same for big seeds like sunflowers and peas or would some modifications be necessary?

@OnTheGrow 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for the support! You can do this same process for big seeds as well and it should work perfectly!

New to your channel and love it! I am looking for a simple, good quality coir product that I can use on a small scale without being concerned about excess salt content that would require extra steps to remove, which as a beginner, I am not prepared to do. I see your Amazon page has 3 coir choices. Is there any reason to be concerned with salt content with any of these products?

I’m trying to see how many lites you are using per shelf. I am ordering the Barrina lites today hopefully. Are you still using the led t5 4’ 2200 l 6500 k super brute shop lites? Also do they attach to the stand with a chain or ? Thank you

I saw these and was wondering about them. Thanks for this. Question. Where do you buy seeds? A link to that would be great. All i could find was 100 seeds in a packet. But i am looking for a lot more to start my grow. So a little help? Also cuz Amazon is not always feasible, what type of places sell seeds? THANKS.

What about media falling out of the bottom of the mesh tray? Why not use an extra green tray for the bottom?

@OnTheGrow 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! If you keep the medium moist, it clumps together and rarely falls out! You can totally use another one of the green trays to catch any little debris that gets through! We wanted to show how you use can only the two trays for the entire process...
