I'm looking into doing this in Los Angeles. I have like 15+ years of growing and hydro experience, but I'm just getting into Microgreens. Right now, I'm growing 4 trays of Broccoli on a shelf. Each tray is a different experiment. 6 days in, and they look beautiful, but I think I put too many seeds. I'm thinking of starting with broccoli, peas, and radish. It was one of Donny's videos that inspired me to look into it, thank you.

@PabloRodriguez-nv2yn 9 месяцев назад

I don't have the source on me, but, taken from a paper found on ncbi, the best way to make the porphyrin find in the chlorophyll more bio-available is by ingesting dark leafy greens with a good source of vitamin C. Think of peppers, strawberries etc. The vitamin C binds with the porphyrin making it more readily available for the body to absorb and use it for red blood cell production. Thanks for the video, I am looking to get started out here in California! Good work and congratulations on the growth and journey

@daniil2001sv Год назад

What should I do with the soil and roots after I harvested my microgreens? Thanks for the video

@TheLiteExpress 11 месяцев назад

I would suggest you put it aside in a new container. Collect more soil and then feed with worm castings and other microbial life. To be honest it would take a bit to explain now. But essentially for all new growers out here. Learn about microbes and how soil is alive, you'll be able to keep soil for years and it only gets better in quality if you feed it right.

After cutting, you have a tray with potting mix and the "bottom half" of the greens plants still rooted in that soil. What happens to that? Do you just toss it, and start over with new seeds and new potting mix? Can you "compost" the stuff, so that the little "bottom half" plants die, but the soil is good to plant new seeds in again?

@DonnyGreens Год назад

@zherin2063 Год назад

YAS, stack em and let em be. I think the key is to pre-moisten the soil...like days in advance in the bin before you use it. Then when you use it, you don't have to water it during germination until you have roots or uncover. Moist, not wet.

@DonnyGreens Год назад

I like watering when making the tray better, but thats me!

What if you don’t need so much? Or need it more staggered over the weeks? How does the starting and stacking work? For my family and chickens I would only need one tray coming ready for harvest every 2-3 days. How could I plan out starting and stacking to better align with that? Also thank you for such an informative video! It is really helpful in all aspects that I need to think about and learn! ❤

if you need trays every 2-3 days, you would simply start trays every 2-3 days!

Would you happen to have a link for the type of trays you use? I'm confused how you stack them at the beginning without smashing everything?

You can find links to all the seeds, supplies and equipment I use in the descriptions of my RU-vid videos!

Hi Donny! Is your setup in a garage or basement? I'm trying to figure out the best place to have my growing racks. Thanks!

Hi! When you bottom water, approximately how many cups of water are you spraying into the tray? I don’t have a hose long enough to reach my rack, so I use a measuring cup 😬

I dont measure it, i do it by feel. Experiment, that way you will figure out what works best for you!

I’ve watched you from the beginning and you inspired me to start doing this. Unfortunately I didn’t take the steps forward to start up lol. I saw you on someone else’s channel just now and got inspired again. Keep the videos coming because I want to learn as much as I can and maybe start a business out of it. Thanks for the videos homie.

So do you use two trays from start to fininsh ? a shallow tray with holes to put dirt and seeds and use a shallow tray without holes for bottom watering or a deeper tray for bottom watering?

one inside the other

@DonnyGreens - dumb question! What happens with the soil after you use it for a tray? IE: you play a tray of broccoli, you do your thing and it grows, you harvest it, then what? Do you just compost the soil or do you reuse the soil?

@DonnyGreens 4 месяца назад

compost it, yerp!
