Do microgreens regrow after cutting? (answered)

[@brianfaulkner2840]

Are you going to try and regrow your microgreens? Or have you had success regrowing any other varieties of microgreens I didn't mention?

[@mywaterponics3986]

I was primarily thinking about testing on pea shoots. Cutting them as you describe for personal use and use organic feed and see results.

[@brianfaulkner2840]

@@mywaterponics3986 ahh sorry, I get you. Possibly, I haven't tried it myself, if you try it I'd love to hear the results!

[@mywaterponics3986]

@@brianfaulkner2840 will do.

So basically microgreens are not sustainable. Once you are out of seeds then that's it.

[@rosedragon108]

well, am not sure this is 're-grow' but if i've put in too many seeds in 4x4 container, sometimes it seems there are unsprouted seeds that WILL grow if given time.

[@OliveJuice.512]

I cut my pea microgreens just above the bottom leaf nodes, and they grow back perfectly well a second, third, and even fourth time. It's a great way to harvest more nutrients from seeds, saving costs and even time that would be spent germinating new seeds. But I've only tried this with speckled pea shoots grown for personal use.

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. NO ONE WILL ANSWER THIS!!

[@shellyahlschlager_Love]

Thank you for this video. This popped up in my feed. And today I harvested pea shoots & noticed there were little leaves on the shoots. So I was like I’m going to see if I can get another harvest. I just started growing Microgreens for the first time for home use a few weeks ago. Thanks for the confirmation ❤️

[@siddharthpatnaik6134]

Very scientific answer finally I got for why they wont regrow

[@annederamaix2851]

Hey Brian, very much enjoying your podcast! Just ordered seeds & seed trays for a few hunderd euro’s. Mood: stressed, but it’s on! 😬❤️

[@brianfaulkner2840]

Haha great stuff Anne, the best of luck with it, hope it goes well :)

[@Sr_Meowmers]

This was very helpful information. 👍

[@brianfaulkner2840]

Great 😁

[@teepriva4588]

Thank you! Have pea shoots ready to harvest today, i will cut above the last lead and see how it goes

[@barpoe]

I've noticed lentil micro greens produce a second set of leaves... but I'll just plant new lentils because I like a luscious harvest. Thanks for the info!

[@trumplostlol3007]

It depends on what kind of microgreens. If you cut the cotyledon of the microgreen, there is no way it can regrow. But this does not apply to peas. As long as you leave some buds on the stems, pea microgreens will regrow.

[@brianfaulkner2840]

[@invalid1012]

Awesome,thanks!

[@DeafDiver]

Question: if it can't be regrown. what do you do with all those soil?

[@brianfaulkner2840]

I compost it and it gets reused in the garden. I have a podcast episode about this with other alternative ideas for getting rid of the soil. Type in the microgreens entrepreneur podcast, and go to episode 17

[@His-Story.ForHisGlory]

Where do the seeds come from if they aren't able to regrow?

[@katify]

If you plant them farther spaced out and let them go to flower (grow them a lot longer) you should get seeds that way. Always depends on the plant tho! :)

[@SparkyHelper]

Thanks for the vid.

[@Icamebackwiththemilk.]

thanks for the info

[@brunocarvalho2012]

Have a question and we use new seed should we use new soil too?

[@lynn4292]

I reside in a small apt. Can I reuse the soil?? Thanks for your wisdom!!

[@whiskerfishermantv]

I do. I do add alittle fertilizer to the mix. There are videos of people growing micro greens on paper towels but I have never tryed.

[@akujigito6885]

Master, apart from pea shoots and wheat grass, what types of microgreens can you grow again?

[@philipweekes8012]

Hi. Love the content website and podcast. Where did you get the racking system from? Tia Phil

[@brianfaulkner2840]

Hi Phillip, thats great to hear, thanks for listening! I got the racks from Amazon amzn.to/2S4IpM7

[@philipweekes8012]

@@brianfaulkner2840 thanks so much for getting back. All bought and harvested first crop today. Thanks for the heads up on your soil supply also. Collected as delivery was huge. All the best Phil

[@siddharthpatnaik6134]

I grew fenugreek in a tray with cocopeat coir.. put weight on it, they grew well, but in the 7th day, the leaves began to rot at one spot in the middle of the tray and that patch grew bigger and bigger... They were slimy and weren't having any mould. I had kept it in open air and spraying very minimum water daily on them.. They were healthy until this rot happened. Any idea why

[@brianfaulkner2840]

It sounds like a case of damping off, and the main issue here is that the greens in the middle of your tray might have been left too wet for too long. This could be caused by many different reasons. The seeds might have been planted too densely or the climatic conditions might not have been right. If airflow in the place you are growing is not very good you will get this problem, also if humidity is really high you will get this problem. I do a podcast too, you can get it here microgreensentrepreneur.com/podcast For this problem, the episodes I recommend you listen to are episode 10 and episode 62, I think they will help you a lot more than what I can write here.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I have some microgreens that do very well and others lie down after they get a certain height or they get tangled up. How do you get your radish to grow so straight? Mine got all tangled up, as some didn't grow straight.

[@mahmouddraidi6773]

so if that is the problem, can I water roots again with water rich with nutrients? (such as used in hydroponics)

[@charitzascreations]

After harvesting can I put that old soil in the compost? Or I can’t use the soil again at all?

[@donkeylzc]

hi! I wish to only prune Amaranth when they grow too tall. Its for aesthetic purposes not really consumption. I have an idea to put them in my paludarium. Is this an impossible idea? just pruning but leaving leaves for some photosynthesis. Please let me know

[@phuongngo9837]

👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@mywaterponics3986]

Could you add a food for them on 2 and 3 grow to help?

[@brianfaulkner2840]

Hey Mark, I think the sun is an essential part of the process, and without it being absorbed by the leaves, the food in the ground won't be able to be used by the plants.

[@utubedude2842]

What happens if you fertilize after cutting?

[@geebskerbal2771]

what is the point of growing micri greens if they dont re grow?

[@xq_le1t0r97]

Lentils also regrow. But the taste is terrible, quite earthy, like a rusted nail. And also hard and chewy...
