I think this experiment confirms that the plants have everything they need to sprout from the seed. Only when they are older they start to need some other nutrient like those in the soil. Because at the end there is not a big difference between the two trays, I think that the growing solution is wasted for this purpose.

this is what I've been doing with amazing success. I use the 10x10 trays. I place the tray with holes inside the tray without holes. I've been buying "bamboo" paper towels....works significantly better than regular paper towels and suspect that cheesecloth and the bamboo paper towels are equivalent. the bamboo paper towels i buy can be pulled off the roll in half-sheets. I use two half-sheets and overlap in the middle in the bottom of the top tray with holes. then I have a pump sprayer with half water and half hydrogen peroxide. I super-saturate the bamboo paper towels. I spread out the broccoli seeds but leave a 3/4" gap down the middle of the tray to allow for air flow then I pour water into the bottom tray and I also place a 3rd tray without holes on top of the tray holding the bamboo paper towels with seeds to block light and provide weight for the seeds. I find I only need to add water to the bottom tray about once ever 3 or so days. after about 5 or 6 days I remove the top tray and place it under the light and just wait for them microgreens to "look right" what I just detailed is the best solution I've tried....and i've tried many.....I consistently get LOVELY broccoli microgreens ready to harvest in about 8-10 days. oh yeah....once I place them under the light, i add the hydroponic solution rather than plain water....this is known to increase the sulforaphane content in the broccoli migrogreens. I have not seen a single video that works better than the above except PERHAPS...Maybe....growing in soil however I still prefer the bamboo paper towels so I don't have to deal with the dirt.

@@blankmission5369 yes....the idea was to help prevent mold. I don't know that its necessary. I clean the containers very well....but especially as the weather warms, a moist warm environment is great for mold so I just figured that the hydrogen peroxide might help. Tikki O has some really great videos and shows the nutrients that she uses......I think she knows FAR more than I do about it. I just used the first thing I found when starting this and I haven't run out yet. I'm happy with it but I haven't tried anything else. I don't know what its called but its pretty popular. Its a three part dry granular mix that can be mixed in varying ratios depending upon what you're growing. Its called masterblend 4-18-38 but I have no idea if its the best choice

Hi Tikki, I really like your videos-Thank you! I have been using cheese cloth exactly the way you are showing with the center of the lid cut out to snap over the cheese cloth for about 3 months with nutrient in the bottom tray. The only difference is I use the tip of a pair of scissors to poke a small hole in one of the cloth corners to insert a small funnel so I can add nutrient when it gets low. I leave about a half inch space for air between the nutrient and the cloth as in the Kratky method. I also use the part of the lid cut out to cover the seeds after misting. I use the Rubbermaid Take Along containers because the part of the lid that I cut out has little extensions in each corner on the bottom that help to raise the lid up so it doesn’t touch the seeds. I have tried screen in a 10 x 20 tray and prefer hemp pads. If you want a food grade screen, see KZfaq Hydroponic Gardening & More with Brent. It is almost $4 per 10 x 20 sheet-too expensive for me. Made by McMaster Carr- Plastic mesh screen #9265T51-it has .08” x .055” openings-you can buy a 54” x 5’ sheet for $48.81 and most of that cost is for shipping. I think your idea of just putting the cheese cloth in the bottom of the tray is ingenious. Can’t wait to try it. Keep up the good work!

Miniature vegetables are grown with pure water, and the finished vegetables have bad taste, more fiber and poor mouthfeel. Planting with the hydroponic nutrient solution, the finished vegetable has relatively good taste, less fiber and good mouthfeel; The problem is that if the human body absorbs hydroponic nutrient solution for a long time, will it get chronic diseases? Because that growth period of the miniature vegetable is very short, the miniature vegetable can be harvest and eaten in 6 to 10 days, and the nutrient solution absorb by the plant cannot be completely absorbed and converted by the plant due to the short growth period, Therefore, the human body is indirectly "eating" the hydroponic nutrient solution! Therefore, if hydroponic nutrient solution is used for planting, it must be clear whether hydroponic nutrient solution is harmful to human body before it can be used for planting! Otherwise, long-term consumption is likely to make you sick!

I wanted to say thank you for this incredible video. Very few take the time to clearly explain the how and why. I'm guessing you must be a teacher to do this so naturally :) . To add to your video: Seeds to give the plants the nutrients they need until the first true leaves pop out. The first true leaves are what enables the plant to start producing its own food. So for microgreens, nutrients are not really needed unless you are planting things that you intend to let grow a little more past the first true first leaves (like Basil which you should leave until it produces its second set of leaves for best production and it retains its taste). Also, your method to use the lid to hold the cheesecloth is a perfect solution... the only reason your first attempt didn't go so well is because it had poor contact with the water. To solve this you can fill the bottom of the tray with Perlite (100% re-usable), pour the water until its just above the perlite and put the cheesecloth on top. Perlite soaks water and the cheesecloth wicks it from the perlite so you get an upwards motion of the water even if the plants drink the water below the cheesecloth level.

Thank you Archeology, the perlite idea is perfect, I will try that! You must be a teacher as well :)

Like you, I am an experimenter. You asked if anybody had ideas about screens to grow microgreens. I recently purchased a product on Amazon called Excalibur 14" by 14" polyscreen mesh tray screen inserts (five for $19.95 I think). These are food dehydrator screens and I knew they would be what I wanted since I already have one of their dehydrators. There are a lot of different dehydrator screens when you go to Amazon, and one could choose others. (Silicone seems to be popular, but I think for this purpose they would be too "floppy.") The holes are a bit too large for small seeds for which I plan to put some cheesecloth on top of the screen to keep them from falling through. (When shopping for cheesecloth I found it comes in many grades, coarse to fine, I chose fine). I cut the screen (with scissors) to the size I want. To lift them up from the floor of whatever growing container I am using, I saw someone use plastic bottle caps as spacers under the screen which I shall try if needed. But after several days of growing, the roots themselves should push the screen up off the floor. The trick for me is knowing how much water (with or without nutrients) to apply. Too much and the roots drown, too little and they dry out. I am aiming to cover the bottom half the roots, but I am sure it will be a learning curve. I am concerned about the quality of the nutrients I use. I am trying kelp and Azomite (fertilizer from True Leaf Market). This is my first attempt, so I can't offer results. I enjoyed your video.

I would think that a few layers if cheap toilet paper in water would grow just as well as cheese cloth except when harvesting, the toilet paper would dissolve away from the roots with no need for cutting (toilet paper dissolves easily) the leaves produce their own sugar, therefore no need to fertilize until the leaves become larger.. that's when the plants need fertilizer (to grow leaves) in turn, the leaves grow bigger roots, the roots absorb fertilizer to grow bigger leaves, and so on. IMHO Thinking about 1/4 in rice filled with water, t - paper on top.. water reservoir keeps seeds moist without drowning.. keep dark hope roots grow down.
