[@nirvanasingh2]

Very informative, thank you!

[@Mike-gz4xz]

Another great video ,and surprising results ,personally i think silicone is my chouse.

[@OnTheGrow]

thank you for watching!! Yeah, I personally love the silicone the most. Its so easy to clean after harvesting

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

Geeeezzzz.... way to get me thinking about growing again🤨😤....... 😏😉 😂😂😂😂😂 Seriously, that looks FANTASTIC! I'm gonna have to check out your products!

[@OnTheGrow]

Haha, glad to spark some inspiration! 😄 Thanks for the kind words! If you have any questions or need more info about the products, feel free to reach out via email. 🌱😄 We'll be working on filming some more new videos this week!

Love your experimental approach. I prefer potting mix (easier clean up plus I dont like the idea of the mesh fiberglass core) but was wondering how the mesh could hold enough moisture. Unbleached paper towels would also be an easy cleanup. I wonder if there's some way to perforate them for better root penetration, maybe small scissor cuts...

[@jeremiahbullfrog9288]

Seems like the lesson is to use a cheaper brand of paper towels with a looser weave. That clean-up was so much faster!

[@OnTheGrow]

Paper towels can be easier to clean up! However, just a heads-up-some paper towels can contain chemicals that might not be the best for certain uses, especially around food or plants. If you're doing something like sprouting microgreens, you might want to consider unbleached or chemical-free options. Usually, cleanup up takes longer on the smaller reusable mediums compared to the larger 🌱🌱

What is your opinion about the plastic 4 tier sprouter, that funnel the water down each tier with no soil, mesh lining, bricks or spray bottle usage?

[@ahowl7mx]

I saw sand works, how about hydroton?

[@rajalakshmijujare190]

Where do we get this type of small Size trays? Please. 🙏🏽

Any update on microalgae cultivation?

[@OnTheGrow]

Hello, pinned as the top comment on the video is our last update. At this current time, we have still not had time to cultivate algae between running our business, family, and getting married. We still have most of our supplies, though! We do miss it 🌱🌱 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2OoqYSwl7Omaacfeature=shared

This was sort of surprising to me because I have used all 3 methods.

[@OnTheGrow]

Love hearing that you've done your own experiments!

[@sjohn2924]

I don't think the paper towels that we use at home and that you tested are 100% organic and healthy. I think they use a chemical to whiten them. Do you think it would be better to use 100% bamboo paper towels? At least I think it can be organic. Could you please try it with a thin and 100% organic bamboo paper towel?

[@beckysuelindsay-piatt5719]

There are 2 type of papertowls bleached and unbleaches so this is not the complete experiment

[@OnTheGrow]

While that's partially true, my experiment focused on bleached paper towels since they're the most commonly used in households today. In addition to bleached and unbleached, there are also recycled and bamboo paper towels. Perhaps in the future, I'll run a comparison experiment with all four types! 🌱🌱

What about toilet paper?
