If one is just planning to start out, how would you find out the demand, versus someone who has already started and has customers already to ask?

I don't want to say Mars Hydro lies about their reviews but anyone shopping there will notice every single item they sell all have 5-star ratings. They have an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau and basically no customer service at all. Caveat Emptor. If you buy from mars hydro and you have a problem with it you're f'cked. If you read the negative mars hydro reviews all them people ain't lying to ya. Spend your hard earned money on a company with a real customer service department.

So how much taste difference is there? I am running trials on mine with and without fertilizer. What fertilizer do you suggest?
@Alien2799 12 күн бұрын
I would like to know the answer to that too.
@microgreensconsulting 10 күн бұрын
It can be quite a big difference. It's best to do a side by side comparison. Overall with fertilizer flavour is more mild and crunchy and without fertilizer is is a mroe intense bitter flavour and more of a tough texture. Colours can vary as well with and without fertilizer. Gaia Green 4-4-4. Its in each videos show notes

Thanks for this excellent comparison! I was wondering about the differences. In my tests, I have preferred white led to blurple also. I love how the blurple look for fun, but it's also frustrating to not be able to read the leaves properly under the blurple light.

A lot of great takeaways, it’s promising when you see everyday growers over come day to day challenges and grow from them, all while expanding in the process. We don’t always have to have the answers or a clear path ahead, just the basic effort of moving one foot towards it.

A commercial freeze drier and you can get manual or automatic capsule filling machines (depending on what scale you are looking at)

The amount fo time under lights is most important. Pea shoots are 7 days under lights so 5 crops per year vs cilantro or basil which is 10-12 days under ligjhts meaning 26 crops per year

Interesting! Mine took a long time to geminate and some didn't. What did geminate is taking forever to get any decent size on it. Does it still need a grow light? Can it be sown outdoors in the winter?
@microgreensconsulting Ай бұрын
Colder than 60F won't be beneficial so growing outside in most climates in the winter won't be feasible. And yes grow light for sure is needed for a quality sorrel microgreen

Flowers are usually priced by count not weight. Sometimes farms use volume but count is the most common way to price them out.

Yes, a lot of farms succumb to burnout. That's a big reason I do consulting for farms. To help them automate and create scalable systems to prevent burnout. It's unfortunately quite common for microgreens farms to shut down after a few years.

How do you deal with and compete with "local" large companies like 80 acres that want to snuff out local small competition by selling more per container for less?
@microgreensconsulting Ай бұрын
You generally sell to different customer types.As a small grower you likely won't sell to whole foods, but rather smaller mom and pop stores and restaurants. Large farms don't target these customers as they aren't big enough customers for them to be worth the time and effort.

Hey Jonah, I have two questions about the tray planting setup here. I see the trays being filled with fluffy soil, and they come out with a smooth even seedbed. What mechanism gets the soil so flat for seeding, a press? Also, your seeder needs to be rolled over the trays, right? How is the seeding triggered with the right density with the trays just pushed through? Thanks for this video!
@microgreensconsulting 2 ай бұрын
A good soil mixing machine will automatically flatten the soil. They aren't cheap but well worth the investment. For the seeder, this farm attached the drive wheel to the conveyer so as the conveyer spins so does the wheel. Changing the wheel size would change the seeding rate just like rolling it on a table!
