Huge difference in cost!! Love microgreens!

[@kellyaddy7316]

Thank you so much for this video. I am going to jump in and try it as I have been thinking about it for awhile now.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Go for it! So easy and you are going to love how easy and how great the microgreens taste.

You guys have a real nice setup Katy! While your opening snowy scenery was very enjoyable, especially with the babbling brook audio, well let's just say I have grown tired of snow covered grounds lol. Maybe that is why I have begun starting some pepper seeds this morning! -Bob...

[@HomegrownPassion]

I know what you mean but spring is around the corner, so it won't be long now for some sunny warm days.

Thanks for going over the cost. Think we will give it a try.

[@HomegrownPassion]

Please do! Good luck

[@CriticoolHit]

Johnnys seeds should really be sponsoring you. I can't speak for others but I know we've spent a bundle there trying their product since seeing you guys use it.

[@HomegrownPassion]

I agree! We talked to our local rep and they just blew us off... lol its not like we want anything maybe a free bag of seeds or a little discount. whatever right... well we talk about them because its a great place to get seeds and you all have to know where to go... put in a word for us!!

[@CriticoolHit]

@@HomegrownPassion Already have. When we made our test order they asked "how did you hear about us" and we put in your channel name. Not cool that they blew you off though. They must not understand the economic reach a you-tube channel can provide them.

I love the way you explain and make it so easy to follow for the average person. Do you really need lights if you live in Southern California?

[@HomegrownPassion]

I would say not. OHIO is always cloudy, so we do need them if you want to grow in the winter.

[@jmajick4415]

Have you tried using shallow trays? They are so much easier to harvest from. They are also very sturdy so you can carry a full tray with one hand most of the time. They cost just a little more but they'll out last those standard size trays. I also use some H2O2 in my plain water spray before the seeds open. The H2O2 kills mold and bacteria and helps open the seed hulls. I use coco coir for the medium since it is cheaper and I throw the waste into a compost pile

[@HomegrownPassion]

thanks will check that out

[@jmajick4415]

@@HomegrownPassion I learned 99% of what I know about microgreens from KZbin "On the Grow" channel. They've done a lot of experimenting www.youtube.com/@OnTheGrow

[@brentdeming415]

Would have liked to see you water them throughout the growing period. Do you top water? Is there no risk of mold, etc. when top watering these? Thanks!

[@lidip8700]

I reuse take-home plastic containers from restaurants with hemp paper. I'm big into hydroponics but just seeded my first microgreens. After watching this video, I've obviously over-seeded my trays. Lol

[@JM-gs5jn]

Thanks for the info...helped a lot. I found a difference in the pricing on the biostrate though....I can't get it for anything close to $.80 a piece.

[@HomegrownPassion]

we searched online for comparison and then bought bulk. We haven't bought it for a while so hoping it has not gone up that much.

[@williambenson3040]

I was watching one of your videos on bato bucket beans and you talked about your lights . I’m in northern Minnesota and am building a 30x40 year round hydroponic greenhouse on a heated slab . I was wondering what kind of lights you use and what the controller is that turns them off when it hits 85 degrees Thanks. Your farm is the best

[@HomegrownPassion]

Hi William. Thanks for the kind words. They light are NextLight worth their controller but so many manufactures out there that I would shop around and find one that fits you the best. Every year so many improvements in greenhouse lighting

[@TheJanicetunes]

Nice video. How long can you keep seeds before they go bad? I tried for the first time to grow micros with a small tray and a silicone mat and in a few day I could see mold on the tray. Plus it took more than a few days to end see any roots. Do you think it could be because of old seeds?

[@HomegrownPassion]

I have micro green seeds that are over 3 years old, and they still sprout. I just keep all my seeds in my mini seed refrigerator. Mold is not from seeds... it is a result of bad air flow or really contaminated environment. Increase airflow and it should help decrease mold growth but watch that your seeds don't dry out...may have to water more.

[@cjasper8916]

Thank you for this very helpful video. I paused it when I got to the part about the grow light. It really is starting to make me crazy that we can't buy anything that isn't bluetooth or wifi-enabled. My hubby and I were shopping for a new grill a few weeks ago, and I was flabbergasted to see wifi-enabled grills, of all things. WHY??? We can't get away from being bombarded by harmful waves. Get ready to watch people drop when they crank up the higher Generation cell signals (5+). They are frying us, intentionally. It is well-documented they are using frequency to manipulate us. Cell phones are the worst. These harmful frequencies negatively affect not only us, they affect all living things, including plants and animals. It's bad enough they are poisoning our food and water, and spraying us like we are bugs. We are doing the best we can to protect ourselves, eat right, exercise, take detox supplements, etc, we can't get away from it. It is NOT a good thing. I am trying to educate people, and want them to put the cell phones down. Sorry for the rant. It's a very sensitive subject and people need to wake up. I do appreciate your video, it is super helpful. We are praying for the people of Ohio and for our country, and our world. For humanity. 💚

Enjoyed the information...I tried to order me one of the haus lights but can't find it anywhere on Amazon...any ideas. Thanks ' Ronnie

yes i put a discount coupon in the discription. use that link and you should be good

[@andrewislas7742]

Quick question: Do you guys have a solar panel setup in any area of your farm. I have been thinking about doing this for my garage setup 🤔

[@HomegrownPassion]

no we are in Ohio and get so many cloudy days it just didn't seem worthwhile when we checked it out over 8 years ago... maybe we should revisit the idea.

[@plantsnrockies]

Thanks for the info. What was the mat called?

Thank you so much 😀

[@TheJanicetunes]

I notice you dont add weight to your tray like other microgreen growers do. I see your micrgreens look just fine. Im confused why they add weight ❤ I love your setup

[@HomegrownPassion]

I'm not sure. Mine do great and we have been regrowing them after harvest for a 2nd cutting. I'm adding more channels for micro-greens. Family has been eating more and more. Video to be coming.

[@rick5653]

Have you considered growing moringa sprouts?

[@HomegrownPassion]

No but will look into that. Are they good?

[@dookim4375]

Hi..what do you use for medium? What is name of medium

[@HomegrownPassion]

I use jute here is a link amzn.to/3PDxlR4

[@hongbeaven4020]

How about the nutrient solution?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Based on my source water. I use bulk. You need to get your source water tested and then have a horticulturist make up a bulk nutrient recipe for you.

[@banxious4nothing]

When did you take cover off?

[@HomegrownPassion]

right when plants sends out its first small leaves

[@fpsFAMOUS]

How many times can we harvest from that one tray? Thanks in advance.

[@HomegrownPassion]

we usually just do one harvest, but you could do a cut and come again on many micro greens. The production is just not as good.

[@steveale0711]

Didn’t you grow them in the nft channels before with pre cut biostrate rolls? Curious why the change?

[@HomegrownPassion]

We had so many inquiries on how to grow them in your home that we thought we would show you the home method. For us we still grow in the NFT Channels and would say if you have a NFT system.... it's much easier because you don't have to water, and the greenhouse provides enough light.

[@tanydamely702]

@@HomegrownPassion about the water on NFT sistem you turn the pump ON from the beginning or just wait microgreen germinate ?

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@tanydamely702 she showed it in the last video but she has water running from tge start but she crimped the hose so it wasn't running full on. Said that until they put down roots the higher water flow would wash them down the tray so she crimps it to only dribble once it roots in then it can take the higher flow. Hope this helps.

[@frank4pickerson]

Grateful for you both for your wonderful video!!! Do the lights consumes a lot of electricity per month if turned on always? I live in California. I assume consumption per single light is less than $100/ month. Please provide a more narrow estimation of consumption if you could.

[@HomegrownPassion]

LED lights did not contribute to a significant increase in electrical bill. The upfront expense was high but hopefully we are getting the benefit on the backside and more production.

[@rick5653]

When you cut them to eat, do they grow back?

[@HomegrownPassion]

they will but we just re-seed each time

[@tanyabishop30]

Can you continue to grow microgreens to be the tall regular plants?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Yes, but they are bred for the small microgreen size so not sure there is any benefit to growing the plants big.

[@TennesseeValleyMicrogreens]

Where is the basil and cilantro tray for harvest?

[@HomegrownPassion]

still growing! it takes so much longer. will do a update video and show you

Hi, My name is Donato from Melbourne, Australia. I have a hydroponic setup. I have buit 2x glass houses, LHS NFT Autopots. My question is , why? Why am Not producing tomatoes well. I have them in Autopots, they grow well , fruit is minimal and very front heavy. I have them all stung from the time I plant the seedlings.. Not holding just bulk out in with not in height. San Marzano Tomatoes. I have tried 3 years in the row, with very poor success. I have spent alot of money, setup, seedlings and all with minimal return. I am annoyed.. I want this to work but getting beaten... Not sure why. Is ther a better system to grow tomatoes, broad beans, cucumber, butter beans etc... The other side LHS I grow lettuce and herbs.... this side has done alright, last 2x times nothing.... I think the seeds have expired. Well I hope so... thrown all out and got fresh ones. I see you grow all different produce in different ways, even grow bags. Can Potatoes, Horseradish and Garlic be grown Hydroponically as well? I really want to succeed but seem to be beaten. My glass houses are 5 metres long, 2 metres wide and just under 3 metres high Please help and Thank you.

[@HomegrownPassion]

so the thing we are finding about sans Marzano are not bred to be grown in a greenhouse. the Rubinsky we grow in the bato buckets do great... maybe just the breeding... i would think you should be able to get great production.

[@lidip8700]

May I suggest camera close up shots. Sorry, this is the first time watching your videos, and sure wished I could see better what you were doing. 🧐🥴

[@HomegrownPassion]

ok

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Hi guys. I hope you're not close to where the train exploded. Ever since I saw it on the news I've been worried about y'all.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

On the cilantro seeds a different microgreen video said to lightly crush the seeds as it is actually 2 seeds in one little ball just enough to crack but not smush. I know my grandfather used to have me use a rolling pin on beet and Swiss chard seeds to crack the dried fruit case as its a tiny berry with several seeds in one berry. Byt again its just to crack the case.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Ive also been growing out several adult plants of my favorite microgreens out in my garden in the summer. Like the red Japanese mustard and of course the broccoli (which loves to bolt to seed when you're not looking) and onions. Onion sprouts or micro greens are a house hold favorite. I often use my left over mushroom boxes and yakisoba trays to make microgreens for just the 2 of us. I just use an ice pick heated up to make drain holes in one tray and set them in the one without holes. I grow a fair amount of wheat grass for my cats and chickens as they all love to chew it. The chickens also love sprouted popcorn and sprouted sunflower seeds. Just the black oil ones I buy to feed the birds in winter. But those are prone to spots of mold no matter what I do so I usually let them grow into micro greens and clip for the chickens Its shocking how sweet the sprouted popcorn is. Like hurt your teeth sweet. Lol

[@HomegrownPassion]

we are good we are way west of that so hopefully nothing bad fell on us from that bad smoke... its just terrible

[@wrondabartlett2888]

Miracle grow? Really?

[@HomegrownPassion]

we dont use it but some people want to just grow a tray of micro greens and in that case it would work.
