I'm still working at it. My biggest problem is I believe is mole…someone else said, it’s not mole, the bottom is like carpet and just white…but this looks more like white cotton….my next start, I think I’ll water it with soda water and hope that helps.

Hope now you can understand. Do update Welcome to addy wheatgrass youtube channel While you admire the wheatgrass we grew at home, in month of April, we will give you a brief about the reasons that motivated us to make this video. And later, we will be showing the step by step procedure for successfully growing wheatgrass at home in hot summer conditions We have already uploaded a video on how to grow wheatgrass at home by soilless method in the first week of feb, 2017. It was liked and appreciated by you all and we are very thankful for that. In March, we received a comment where a you tuber from Chennai, India, informed us that he had followed the instructions given in our video and had covered the tray for the first 2 days to facilitate root formation. But after two days, his wheatgrass seeds had become rotten and he had to abort the entire process. His was a case of high humidity coupled with high temperature. This prompted us grow our own tray in these summer condition and document it for the benefits of the people who want to grow wheatgrass in their homes during summers aswell. For wheatgrass growers, summers time has always been a challenge. when the temperature is around 20 degree Celsius, they find it effortless to grow wheatgrass in their homes. Just throwing some seeds in a tray or on soil seems to do the trick, & they are assured of wheatgrass by day 8 or 9 But as soon as winters are over and the temperatures shoot to 40s, they suddenly start facing a ton of problem. Seeds fail to germinate, yield gets reduced by 70 to 80 percent and there is almost always mould formation. Let’s see the step by step procedure that we followed to successfully grow the tray of wheatgrass you just saw in hot summer conditions We will require every thing that we used for growing wheatgrass in winters plus two additional things which are pure neem oil and a jute sheet. We are using the Addy Wheatgrass growing kit which consists of an unbreakable tray, good quality wheatgrass seeds with high germination rates and organic growing medium. First step is to weigh out 400 gms of seeds for germination. Next, Transfer these seeds to a beaker and wash them thoroughly at least two times. Now, here’s an important step that you need to follow for growing wheatgrass in summers Wheat is a winter crop. It needs cold temperature for its seeds to germinate and grow into wheatgrass. Ideal temperature for wheatgrass germination is 15 degree Celsius to 22 degree. Most of the people wanting to grow wheatgrass in summers fail at this very step. Their seeds do not germinate due to being subjected to high temperature and they have to abort the process half way To overcome this huge problem, there is a very simple solution. Germinate the seeds in the normal compartment of your home refrigerator. Keep the soaked seeds in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Now, you will need to prepare a tray side by side while the seeds are soaking, so that the nutrients in the growing medium are already activated and ready when we finally transfer the germinated seeds after two days. Another huge problem that most wheatgrass growers face is the formation of mould in the base of the tray. And this problem only gets aggravated during the summers To avoid this, spray the tray with a solution made with 5 ml of pure neem oil and a litre of water. Next step is to make a quarter inch layer of the addy wheatgrass growing medium. Spray this layer with a good amount of neem oil water solution as well to get rid of any fungus it might have and to activate the nutrients in it. Keep watering the tray with normal water every 8 hours to keep it moist. After 8 hours we will resoak the seeds for 15 minutes, drain the water and keep it again in the refrigerator for 8 hours for germination. We found that our seeds had germinated in 48 hours and decided to transfer them to the tray Before transferring the seeds, we again sprayed the tray with neem oil and water solution to eliminate any fungus left in it Be careful as to not break the white tails of the seeds while transferring them to the tray Spread the seeds in such a way that they are touching each other but aren’t overlapping. After you finish laying up the seeds, cover the tray with a wet jute cloth and place it in a cool place where you have a cooler or an AC running Covering it with jute is an important step. Do not cover the tray with paper or a towel as they will trap humidity and heat and the seeds will rot in a few hours Jute has big weaving holes in it which facilitate air circulation. And keeping it moist all the time also keeps the tray cool and in turn prevents rot and promotes root formation. Don’t forget to remove the jute covering every few hours and check for moisture loss. We found that it required watering every 2 hours to stay moist. We also sprayed it with neem oil water solution once a day for next two days while keeping it covered with the jute cloth. After two days, remov the cover and place the tray under a led lamp of at least 8 watts Now, a word of caution about the neem oil you will use for this purpose. Do read the label carefully to make sure that its pure neem oil and that no other chemical pesticides have been added to it. those who are concerned can also buy organic neem oil that is fit for human consumption. But pure neem oil should be good enough, as long as the label says that you can safely spray it on vegetables and fruits meant for human consumption. Here’s a tip for germinating the seeds in the refrigerator While the germination process is going on, you need to observe the seed for white tails coming out its end. We found that white tails were slow to come out in comparison to when seeds are left outside for germination. So we decided to keep it out of refrigerator for approx 1 - 2 hours during the 8 hour cycle, which quickened the germinating process. You need to keep checking seeds for any funky smell which might suggest rot setting in If that happens, wash the seeds and keep them in fridge for longer periods and lesser periods outside it As you can see with each passing day wheatgrass growth is picking up and it had a sudden spurt in growth from May 1, which was day 6 of the total nine day process. We always had the led lamp on and cooler was running for 12 hours approximately every day The temperature it was kept in had a high of 31.1 degree celcius and low of 27 degree celcius We kept watering it every 2 to 3 hours We checked for mould and the smell of rotting but didn’t find any. Our trays had many holes, which ensured no water logging. Excess water quickly escaped the tray within minutes of watering. That helped a lot in preventing any root rot. On May 3, which was day 9, we had a full grown tray. We have been in the wheatgrass business for 7 years now And have been providing premium quality wheatgrass to its consumers in Delhi for many years. Honestly, on day 9, there was very little difference between the home grown tray in summer hot condition and the one grown in the hydroponic machine in a fully controlled environment. Germinating the seeds in the refrigerator and the use of wet jute cloth gave the seeds a solid start helping them withstand the high temperatures between 27 to 31 degree celcius and yeild lush green wheatgrass. Continuously using 8 watt day light type led lamp during the last 3 days also played a curical role as it acted as the sun for the tray minus its heat Now after successfully completing the process, we can confidently assure you of similar success but only if you follow every bit of information and procedure shown in this video. Thats all for this video Thanks for ...subscribing.... bye

Glad you liked it!!

Do they need light? I mean sunlight?

Wheatgrass seed has everything that is needed for a 8-9 days sprout. Having said that any boost to growing of wheatgrass in form of nutritional input either from Soil or through nutritional solution in hydroponic system will enhance its quality. In our latest video of Growing Wheatgrass in hotter climate we have used a layer of nutrition rich non Soil medium and resulting Wheatgrass had better quality than one grown without the growing medium in same condition. So if you have quality Soil which can provide nutrition during Wheatgrass 8 days growing cycle, we recommend using it.

Good to know. Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Thanks for your observation and feedback. We look forward to your feedback on other video too.

Heating you have to find at your lical level. If it is cost effective you can use type of light that gives heat to. Humidity should be as low. In commercial wheatgrass growing tray size is 30 cm to 100 cm.

Thanks

Grass will grow after harvest but its nutrients content will go down with every harvest. Most people discard the tray and start fresh after first harvest but some do take second and third harvest.

@@ShashiNGautam amazing! Thank you so much for replying this fast 🙏🏻

+Dipuna Nath Thanks for like. There's another video which shows how to grow WheatGrass in summers months. Do watch it.

Only time you cover the Tray is first 2 days

@@ShashiNGautam when will cover the tray for 2 days should we add the water at that time also ?? Or we will leave the tray for 2 days just like that without giving water ?? Please reply as it's urgent 🙏

Purpose of covering with cloth is to keep seeds in dark so they have better root system. So in hot days keeping them in dark area without covering is a better idea to arrest fungus growth. Give adequate water to keep seed moistened.

We have dedicated a website on it addywheatgrass.com/

🙏

Yes repeat minus 8 hour soaking of seeds. Soak for 15 minutes.

@@ShashiNGautam can you pls explain ?

Write your queries as new comment And be specific about what further explanation is needed.

@@ShashiNGautam You have mentioned to repeat the steps in Day 1 for next two days. So it conveys the message that for first three days we have do the same steps. Its confusing. So can you specifically mention each and every step for Day 1, Day 2, Day 3......

I am not aware of it.

Grammar is our friend

There are people who juice roots of WheatGrass grown in hydroponic system. But unless it is grown in controled environment, there are chances of roots getting contaminated with bacteria and fungus. Be careful of it.

Stop being sexist.

Kiran Kalvagadda Hi, After seeds are sprouted we transfer them to trays. It takes 8-9 days to reach split stage and then it is harvested. If its too cold it may take 1 or 2 days more and if it is little hot it will take 1 or 2 days less. If you plant to grow them now we advice to use nutrients rich growing medium and watch the temperature as wheatgrass grows well in temperature under 23 degree Celsius.

What you have said about nutrients rich growth medium

Please do not post question as reply to other comments as google do not show them on top of comments. You can use Vermicompost Neem Cake mix as growing medium.

Thanks

Start new comments for queries.

@@ShashiNGautam I had posted a query as per your order. But I haven't received your reply. Pls...

I have asked to post queries as new comment and not as a reply to a old comments as replies to old comments are not easily traceable. And it was not an order.

@@ShashiNGautam ok mam, pls clear my doubts

What is your query? Write it as new comment and not as reply.

Keep temperature below 25°C and treat the seeds with natural fungicide. Keep the tray in a well ventilated area. Insure proper drainage.

Trays are made of virgin plastic. We are supplying these in India through our website.

Ideal is 18 to 25°C. It can grow till 30. You can grow it indoors too.

+Dr. Rimshan Siddiqui If it keeps growing on you will have wheat plant in garden. These are used as green mat decoration at high end hotels. The WheatGrass mat life is anywhere between 3 to 6 days depending on temperature and care.

You don't know ...😀😀 Wheat grass is using for good health.. increase himoglobin... And specially forCancer patients. 👍

really?
