Always a pleasure Jonah. I haven’t thought about it that way before, to go and do something you truly enjoy doing to better problem solve an idea or issue. My problem is I’ll stare at it or sit in it until I come up with something, I can see how this is counterintuitive

Organic topsoil isn't ideal for microgreens. A lot of disease issues are likely. Using a potting soil is a much better option

I do not have all the gadgets that you have. So tell me how to grow cilantro microgreens without those lights or heat pads. I live in a sub-tropical climate where we hardly have a winter.
@microgreensconsulting11 күн бұрын
Cilantro won't thrive in tropical climates. It needs cooler temps between 70-80 max to grow. Once you hit mid 80s, it simply won't grow. Growing indoors is the best option for thr tropics

This was super helpful since I am starting to think about building a commercial space. We took your Freedom Farmers course, (highly recommended), and now we are at about 50 trays per week. We have capacity for about 80 trays in a 10x20 shed. Going to need something different by this time next year or sooner. This would be a great video to reference with a builder. Do you have any content / references on power consumption when it comes to scaling up? Thanks Jonah!
@microgreensconsulting11 күн бұрын
Great to hear that your business is moving inthe right direction! For power consumption I would recommend contacting an electrician for specifics

It’s been a little over 3 weeks and the last container is still fresh in the refrigerator. I also noticed that they got sweeter in time after they sat in the fridge.
