The guy is just trying to help people do this. Why do people always have to complain and criticize. If you don't like it then don't watch it and grow up. He was awesome and shared some really good info.

[@peakarach7051]

diana00756 Agreed.

[@FirstOfHerName]

Brittany Watt but he’s only giving information to grow for yourself at home, not to open a business. He’s all about self-sufficiency.

[@SongRipsInTheHood]

You claim he is spreading false information, yet you don't mention anything specific...and you "do this" for a living? He isn't selling anything, this is a free video on the internet...relax.

[@tititata1]

I think he is really one of the best around in this industry

[@365aero6]

Brittany Watt You could apply that to any business. I so not think he is saying everyone will succeed. Much has to do with motivation and ability not to mention wise investment. No one should go into any business thinking it is a good thing. So why are you even watching? You have all the answers. And, by the way, many are doing quite well.

[@goldenblooms6672]

I love how you take your videos on tours not only in your garden or kitchen. It brings things to a new dimension. It's great seeing how things are done commercially.

[@SweeTdeviL889]

"Why wait till you get cancer to start growing broccoli sprouts?" LOL best quote of the year so far. Great video! Keep up the good work :)

[@Henrydingus01123]

SweeTdeviL889 dude.... he said that right as I read your comment. That blew my little stoner mind.

[@TheSljames]

Hi John! Just to let you know that I was in Las Vegas last weekend and went by Urban Hydro Greens. Dennis is a great guy and so knowledgeable! He was very busy but was kind enough to give us the "nickel" tour (as he called it) and also let me buy one of the kits he had just put together. Thank you so much for showcasing places like this. We met Dennis and his wife at the farmers market the next day and had some great smoothies. Again, Thank to you and Dennis!

[@RichardPasso]

Nickie and Dennis of Urban Hydro Greens are truly such wonderful people! We here in Las Vegas are truly privileged to have them in our community. If you are here in Las Vegas then be sure to check them out!

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

I have to say ...The presentation is SO GOOD that your message seems a bit rushed but is very comprehensive and the information is priceless.Great education and motivation !

[@stevelong945]

Epic John you have changed my life. Truck driver to farmer in my own home.

[@agracza8728]

I have been watching for awhile, and finally created a channel to comment on your vids. I love them. They are inspiring. I have learned so much from, and am motivated by you. Thank you.

[@handgman]

I cannot remember you doing a show on cancer fighting plants. You are so full of information you could do a show on all of the cancer fighting plants grown, sprouted, or microgreen and give the views an arsenal to keep well or their loved ones. Keep up the good work.

[@martysgarden]

Thanks Jon, I always get plenty of great information from your show here. I am looking at starting growing Microgreens on my balcony. First crop is Sunflower. One lot in soil another just in a sprouter for growing sprouts. Really stoked to get these underway and shoot a video series about it too! Happy Gardening Marty Ware

[@davidbarbour2368]

Great video, John. I'm getting ready to grow microgreens, and this was a perfect intro.

[@recreant359]

I just subscribed after finding this channel last night, and I just wanted to say that you do a wonderful job at speaking in front of a camera! Thank you so much for this information, I dont know where else I could have found this much knowledge in one location.

[@jsorensens2]

I've been growing sprouts for years and keep a constant rotation going. I grow them long enough to be considered microgreens. GREAT video. As others have mentioned, there are less expensive ways to do it, but for a first time grower getting a kit and having your hand held a little is definitely a good way to get started. Thanks John!

[@Riverrockphotos]

John thanks to you I am now growing my own. My first batch of buckwheat Is ready to harvest today. I have some speckled peas and some sunflower going right now can't wait to harvest them.

[@rozannaeastland1247]

Thanks for sharing this information dense video! Loved it! Answered all my questions! Good job John!

[@baddasz8]

Another amazing video. You are what keeps me coming to KZbin!! THANK YOU

[@AeroMECH808]

Another good one John.thanks for much needed info, I've been researching about micro greens for a couple of days now, perfect timing.

[@evvie01]

This was very helpful. February in Michigan and I am ready for some greens. Root veggies are wonderful but topped with a hand full of greens is even better. John your tone of voice was very good in this video. I didn't feel like you were yelling at me. Good job. Really good tutorial too.

[@FruitsVeggiesAndLove]

This video came right on time for me. Thanks a bunch of micro-greens, John! :)

[@RaquelMartinez-pl9kf]

Love your videos and enthusiasm!! Learning & love it!!

[@handgman]

Great job john. Lots of information to improve our health and fight against cancer!

[@wenditubbs5372]

Thank you for a great video! It is just what I needed to get started.

[@Tributeto-ef1lm]

So glad I found this channel. Subscribed!

[@dionisiotato4730]

Excellent Video. Thank You John!

[@susique333]

I have grown sprouts for my family for years and never had a problem. Also love to grow sunflower greens as my granddaughter who does not like veggies, she will eat sunflower greens dunked in homemade Ranch dressing. Thank you for this video, people need to know how easy this is!

[@olorin42069]

I live 20 min from this place , need to check it out. Thanks John

[@wisteria4981]

Your so AWESOME John, Thank You so much for this demo video, so very very helpful😘 I've learned so much from you and just started in May or so learning about RAW foods and recipes. Your an INCREDIBLE inspiration. PS did buy the Sedona dehydrater from your discount juicer site and found an Omega 8006 juice for only $150 off Craig's list, barley used and think I will still get the warrantee - Whoop Whoop. I love to save money. Thank you again cutie pie for all your WISDOM and ENTHUSIASM - your the BOMB!!!

[@anthonyzagelow143]

Really helpful videos, just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@ChoiminLee]

great episode, John. Thank you.

[@DannyBee43]

Love all your videos.. very educational and fun. you're great!. thanks for being so helpful and informative

[@coldblue789]

Nice one John I love how you take the time to explain everything :-) You now have another subscriber. From England

[@kevinbodiford7143]

probably one of the best videos for people who have been looking into trying out micro greens. i looked the kit up and i think its a bit much for the materials but im going to pick one up anyway; and i hadn't even planned on growing them. make sure you get credit for selling one for them.

[@kevinbodiford7143]

so i decided to look around to find comparable kits and this one happens to be the most extensive kit for under $100 so at least they arent trying to take you for all you have lol. i still cant shake the thought of it still being a bit steep in price but seems to be the best over all for someone that wants to try without breaking the bank.

[@potterylady1]

Loving our shirt and necklace lol. The greens info is amazing too. Thanks so much.

[@Julsinmaine101]

awesome video..thanks for sharing your trip with us!

[@vidme131]

John! You look younger and healthier by the minute! Great show! Microgreens are so expensive at WF and growing your own is so satisfying!

[@GREENLALI]

I LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@shasonm6695]

I appreciate all of your videos

[@kimberlysmith3790]

Love this show. Thanks for going through all the steps. I've wanted to use the growing light fixtures you can get at walmart but wasn't sure what to buy and use for the light bulbs. Thanks again for all you do.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Nice video on MicroGreens, TFS!

[@markjanus]

Awesome video - just ate my first batch of sunflower microgreens thanks to you. Incredibly yummy and very easy to grow.

[@positivepath1]

Thanks John.. would love to grow more indoors.. for those of us in colder climates any videos and tips you might be able to do.. would be so appreciated.. THANKS

[@2techshop]

You are super informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@thepalletwoodgardener8883]

Awesome ...Thanks for info about microgreens!! Yeah. Ive got to grow some this year!! 😀😀😀

[@rapph]

I bought the kit a while before this video, and I thought it was great! The pics helped me to know if I was on track on my first grow, and the directions were easy to follow. I didn't have a clue where to start before I got the kit. I've grown all 10 trays now, and I got way more microgreens than I could have gotten in whole foods or trader joes for the $45.00. I had searched for kits, and found a lot of them at higher prices. One was $90.00! I thought this was a great deal.

[@kathyroy2714]

Thanks for sharing information. I love your videos!

[@RVFreeDa]

WOW! 10,000 views! Awesome John, you are becoming famous and you deserve it!

[@frugalprepper]

Thank You, Nice Video, I really enjoyed it. I just started to grow some Kale, lettuce, and spinach inside over the winter. I may try doing some micro greens as well.

[@yamadanish3289]

I will definitely start growing them

[@stevegrello]

Thank you again. Bro, not for nothin' but you ARE the Steve Irwin of growing!!!! Not kidding!!! I just ordered my first supplies for my hydro-microgreens after seeing your Baltimore Grow video interview. Will keep you posted. Doing mushrooms too!!!! Many thanks and blessings!!!

[@yuliashmatkova6849]

Yes, that's what I'm going to do! :-) Now we know how it's done and how it looks like ;-) Thanks, John!!!

[@cami42874]

this would be something great to learn to do and to watch to see how it is done

[@mindinme3347]

Way to go John. For all those negative comments. It is better to be passionate about something good ...than dead and boring but if thats what floats your boat good for you! John is awesome indepth knowledgeable he not only does the research he takes us on the journey. I am sure I know more than I did yesterday just watching Johns video. So if you have anything negative to say go elsewhere with it or put up shut up! And take what you can learn.I learn early in my life I cant please everyone and not everyone is going to like me. I am sure John knows that so if theres nothing here for you...go away with your criticism and negative comments. Buzz off!

[@elaineabreu282]

I love how animated he is hehehe :)

[@Simeonx1]

Drinking game . Everything time he puts his thumbs up you have to have a shot of wheat grass .

[@BestFoodBestSelf]

You have the best videos ever!

[@4007fairview]

Amazing video John ~ thank you so much for sharing this information. I've often wondered how to grow our own microgreens and now I know, thanks to you. Debbie *Ü*

[@monamendiola1]

your amazing! just love your videos

[@urbanfeeder]

top job mate love your channel.

[@veronicabe7902]

Great vid, john.

[@Fadeypoo]

Brilliant vid. Thank you man.

[@visiochannel2]

Thanks you for the video, i found out that you can use LECA balls as a growing medium , after growign you just wash them, handle them with boiling water to sterilize and you can use the same balls again and again . Leca floats so when cleaning it you can put them in water and they float and the rubbish drops to the bottom .

[@melanieevans4143]

dying laughing at you and the ocd seed dispersal part....I love watching and listening to you.

[@Daisysunlee]

Great video and information.

[@chrisblack5795]

Thanks for sharing....this is going global today!!!!

[@gloriaaguirre74]

Thanks John.

[@NocturnalButterfly]

Great video, thank you!

[@irmacruz7771]

Very informative thanks so much!!

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

Sprout People is a good source for seeds as well as Mountain Rose Herbs, both online.

[@arizonagardener731]

I am maximizing the outer areas of my indoor light space to grow microgreens. In a couple weeks I will be in full production. Not many other crops turn a harvest as quickly!

[@lisadobson2909]

Perfect idea !

[@wread1982]

Good videos man keep up the good work! i wanna know all about sprouts

[@MissBreezysmiles]

You are changing the world.

[@johnnyrocket88]

Awesome video.

[@gardenshedkent]

These ideas on how to grow a microgreens vegetable garden are quite very challenging. Are these containers expensive? I must say that this is very unique growing system. Nice video!

[@SouthpawDavey]

Thank you just building a little grow box for micro, Dave .-)

[@antoinepruyssers]

That's not OCD, it's Art.

[@yoohoosk8r]

Oh i didn't realize there was a difference. I'll check it out, tysm

[@stanlindert6332]

This is an awesome setup. A few sticks of wood,a sheet of ply,and start out small. I'd like a gro room for micro green production.

[@garymaness9408]

Great info John, thanks for sharing. To answer some questions from the past. LED's could be used, but that's a lot of overkill just to grow micro greens (as opposed to seedlings or plants). They do appear to be 1020 trays. I'm going to try growing them on unbleached paper towels instead of pads or soilless mixes.

[@jahineverybody]

This past fall/winter i got in the habit of keeping a few trays in each stage going. I would encourage everyone to do it! Here in CO I just grow them a big SE widow. After you get it dialed in its easy, but the main thing I would say is dont get discouraged if your first few batches dont work out. I have a lot of regular gardening experience but it took me a few+ times to the micro greens right. To much water, mold, to many seeds, not enough seeds. Dont give up!! Youll soon get it.

[@modernrider1398]

Great video. I want to start to grow some micro greens myself in my extra closet maybe. I will be doing a Keto diet with micro greens. I feel so great just eating fat and protein and restricting carbs but I think adding nutrient dense greens would benefit me as well

[@londonbsing]

you keep telling me to save money and im spending money on alot of plants dirt and stuff. im addicted this is fun

[@mreightytwenty8709]

John great videos mate, Like everything in this world if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Ive been growing micro greens for a while now and its taken me many months to get it right. Many factors come in to play with any type of growing, and micro greens are no different..... Cheers A Kiwi living in Aussie...

[@sklock07]

great vid and info...

[@trumpsahead]

I tried growing wheatgrass a few summers ago, which was successful except it turns out to be very expensive. Seeds or whole grains cost money. One lb could be $9.00. I turned to powdered superfoods by the pound has 30-60 servings. Having said that, I just ordered some 10" reflective housed clamp lights to use over the kitchen counter to grow some greens but was thinking about lettuce and beets. If I can buy beet and broccoli seeds in bulk at a reasonable cost maybe I'll go for it. Good video; you're the best, John. ciao.

[@kosycat1]

Micro greens taste soo good i like them just by them selves

[@superkb172]

Your diet is like a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.

[@jmtnvalley]

We are experimenting with barley for fodder for our horses. No grow medium. Looks like the same process.

[@7322daniel]

I once started plants under lights and I had one normal fluorescent light fixture and one with special and very expensive grow bulbs. Well, to my surprise all of the plants were leaning towards the normal fluorescent lights. Lesson learned and money saved ever since.For a two bulb fixture, mix one "cool white" bulb with one "daylight" I think, but you get the idea for a wide spectrum of light. In other words., one blueish and one redish bulb.

[@ella5024]

I grow wheatgrass on paper-towels in a jellyroll pan.

[@sgtcannaboid]

I love sprouting .

[@rolazrei]

I agree with a poster below... these micros are growing (almost) entirely based on the nutrients in the seed, which is fine, but that means that all the nutrients that go into you will be determined by the seed contents, which came from someone else's grow operation... which may or may not have been high quality soil.

[@Ohaipurple]

well john to be honest this is the first time i have heard the term "micro greens" and after watching your vid i see that they are just sprouting plants. now i can go out and get a pack of seeds and a plastic tray n stuff pretty cheap, and so i cannot rly justify the $45 it costs to order from them. but i still think it is wonderful for ppl to eat healthier! so thanks for the vid! very informative as always ;)

[@rhearaab7192]

This is AWESOME

[@Branjoezneman]

I respect you, God bless

[@ctfcNIG]

Another great vid nice job man. That fact about the nutrition value is interesting. $12 for a light... That's American prices sadly, you're looking at roughly 4 times that here in UK, same with a lot of the other garden stuff

[@mariebowling4259]

Thank you.

[@eliz7212]

Just want to say I LOVED this video. I have many sprouting and microgreening videos up on youtube. I have a table in my living room where I do ALL my microgreens. I grow them in various trays. I do broccoli, radish, fenugreek and Sunflower shoots and pea shoots, Chia and Flax. Best decision I ever made. I now do more microgreening than sprouting. I use coir because I don't like soil in my home. What a great video. Thanks much. Sproutlady Melody

[@peruface]

thank you sir!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Good question! Some systems, like those for sprouting grain for feeding livestock, just use ambient light, but they only go about 7 - 10 days. We can each try it out in our own circumstances and see how it works, eh?

[@Shuggies]

Growing some right now. Alfalfa and mung beans. Mmmmm
