Professional Microgreens Setup 

You have great content. Straight and to the point!!! Nothing over dramatized!!! I can dig it. Thanks Man. You're helping me with starting up my own farm. I will definitely use you as a resource if I have any questions. THANK YOU!

Thank you for solid information and no waffle! It’s a breath of fresh air. And very generous of you.

Your newest sub doesn't know what to binge next. Great Stuff.

Josh, very grateful I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Great video, Josh. I felt like I had to catch my breath when you were done, but I totally understand. I just started doing culinary videos for our CSA Members and it ain't easy. This was terrific.

Great video mate. Love the old fishtank need reference. Keep it up mate, I'm loving the content

Stumbled upon your video, all the way from Durham! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Great video, I loved it. You have made everything so simple and easy for us. You are a good man as you have shared everything which you have done are doing which other's usually don't. Thanks for that and I would be following your videos now :)

Dude, you are so cool! I don’t know you and yet I am so proud of you. Thank you for the content.

That was sooooo neat setup!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your tips!

Your videos are more informative than others ones I've seen.

I'm liking the copper coupling to reduce bacteria in watering 10:33

Great job I'm loving the videos and vibes

Thanks from the UK. Really informative stuff

Awesome dude! Great video

Nice video, nice set up. I just started out growing myself - really helpful 👍🏻

great video man thank you

Outstanding, thanks Josh!

Hi Josh I find your video very clear precise straight to the point an easy learning the picture quality is good keep up the good work and I cant wait for your next video to come out

Great vid! Thanks a lot.

Excellent video. Very informative. Keep going.

WOW!! Information packed video!! Thanks for sharing!

So clean!! Great vid

Good stuff Josh!!!

Thank you so much for all the details. As many of the micro green growers don’t share such important information!

Really great videos. It is very helpful seeing a real operation and hearing why you make the decisions you make.

You are awesome. Thanks for the economical tips about lighting. I'm just starting out and this was helpful.

Great video, I like the way you break everything down ,easy to understand

This was a great video thank you so much!

Nice set up Josh. Thanks.

I have watched many videos on setting up but this was clean clear and to the point without the waffle. Look forward to your other videos.

Brilliant!!! So useful!! Thank you!

Love the video. Pro! I learned alot.

Thanks Josh. So average cost for one rack with lights and trays are going to run around $485. That's without seeds ,medium and cost for electric so do your homework everyone. It will take time to get you money back but well worth it in the end. I am so excited to get started,

Hi Josh! very cool video.THANKS

Love your setup!

Nice setup, great video!

Great content, Josh, you are truly prolific. New to your channel but a definite fan. Lots of info, smart, real, logical ... great job!

Great!!👌...very informative video 🤔👍

Really great video!

Thank you for this video 🌸

Yanceyville checking in! Hello Raleigh!

Thanks for the help!

great tips! thanks

You do such an amazing job

I use to keep my seeds on top but not long after, I took them down. The heat coming off the t5's tends to add up quick on the totes. Then again I use mylar film for reflection.

Josh I want to first thank you for doing these videos. I find the info very helpful. I am also on a very tight budget, but i wanted to point out a very good reason for considering LED's and its not environmental. I live in and old house in Brooklyn and I rent. Upgrading the electric box is not an option. Many houses built in the 40's and 50's have minimal electric outlets and capacity. That is the advantage of LED's even though their expensive they use a lot less electricity so the don't overload the 15 amp breakers. Just something to consider when calculating how much energy your units will need.

Thank you !!!!

i borrowed a couple of tips from this. thanks

amazing 🤩

Thanks for the video! It sounds like you are near RDU!

That’s a very good point about consulting an electrician regarding this. I’ll be setting up a similar system for growing seedlings and I’d better speak to a sparkie about it. Thanks Josh.

SUBBED! this video finally made me pull the trigger on starting my micro green farm. thank you! Can you make a video on water ph balance and soil/nutrients?

Hi! Josh. I love your Channel . I want to do the exactly things you are doing! Soon, I'll move to Osceola county Fl., don't know how to start our 5 acre land. Your VIDS are my guide. Thank you so much.

Great video on microgreens from fellow pro microgreen growers in the UK x

Thank you for sharing

Great video thank you

Another good reason to go with LED is you don't usually have as much worry about overloading circuits

luxx lighting has some bomb led strips out now in 2021

Hey Josh do you have a video talking about appropriate temperatures, humidity, etc? Loving your videos man.

Very nice video

Great video! On the case of LEDs being expensive. I'm loving my LED lights - Brillihood T5 Integrated LED Single Light Fixture, 4FT, 2200lm, 6000K from amazon. 10 lights for 65 bucks. I have 4 lights per rack to give consistency across the shelf. Also, each light comes with a power cord with switch along with a daisy chain cord if you want to connect them together. Quite a deal!

I didnt even realise this was a new video and a fairly young channel. Wonderful content, really enjoying it. Production value is high and you keep it quite simple and easy to understand. Very average man approach in delivery which makes it feel very comfortable to relate to. Good job man!

Interesting video

Great video! Looking forward to more. I'm just starting out and got the Bootstrap Farmer trays...really liking them so far. Thanks for the all the great info -- I'm really trying to get microgreens going on our farm. So far it's been going well in trials, except for peas. For some reason, I just can't get them to grow. :(

Create job , looking forward to your vids .

Hello Josh, Thank you for the great informative videos. I love the way how you approach the subject straight forward without wasting any time. I watched all your microgreen videos today, some videos twice. How do you control the temperature in your garage? Do you have AC installed in it? Thanks

This is interesting! I was listening about the lighting and I thought that professional growing lights would be required from the beginning, but seems like not?

Hey Josh you are absolutely great. Very clear and thorough. I do have a couple of questions. If you covered these topics in previous videos, I haven’t gotten to them yet so please forgive me. I’m a busy man. :) Let’s assume I am starting from absolutely nothing. Nothing. The growing seems to be pretty straightforward and I love that. Lights, racks, seeds, etc. I can start with one rack, two racks, three racks. That seems to be the relatively easy part. So let’s say I want to sell them. I can’t go out and just grow sixty racks of sunflowers and radishes and spinach and what have you without knowing who would buy them. On the other hand, I have to have a product to show potential buyers as well. So there seems to be a “what come first - the chicken or the egg” - scenario. I can’t sell them without knowing who wants them, but I also have to have some kind of product for those who would want to try my product. Again, I am starting from absolutely nothing. I do some landscaping around my property - flowers mostly - here in San Jacinto Valley of Southern California. I am curious how someone who has absolutely nothing - not even the gear - would embark on this kind of venture. I mean, you had to start from somewhere. Do I just walk into my local restaurants and ask if they would like to try my microgreens. I am surrounding by small towns - including my own - and so far virtually everyone I have asked has said they have no idea what microgreens are. Now, you could look at this two ways: the lack of knowledge for this kind of produce could be a boon for a farmer just starting out on this kind of thing, OR this thing could be dead in the water because no one blows what microgreens are. I love your style and your delivery. If you could give me some tips and tell me exactly how to get started, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.

Start something else again in this video all information your pride is great up to date very useful and I’m very thankful

Great video . Two question. Can we use yellow warm white LED and how long should we ON them .

Barrani LED grow lites on Amazon for a good price 4’ T 5’s, 6 pack with all connections for about 65 bucks. If you use only 2 per rack that’s not bad. Not sure if you’re doing this kind of operation though. For me I’m only doing it for home and relatives. Nice set up you have👍

That is a sweet set up Josh! Really clean and organized, it looks awesome. Nice tip on the power bars , and cords. But I always wondered how much light micros need. Stone says nothing in his book. Mind you he grew in a greenhouse. How long of a period do you give the micros light? Awesome video, take care man!

Thanks so much

Awesome

One of the advantages of the LED's is the lower power draw

Have you (or anyone else who's reading this) ever tried a single SunBlaster per shelf? Another RU-vidr is just using one per shelf and seems to get great results, but from what I can tell, he's the only person doing this, and everyone else who uses SunBlasters uses two per shelf.

Just set this same system up and my rack levels are spaced 14 inches apart. As far as using this for starting veg starts have you had to adjust the seedlings closer or farther from the lights or are they fine just with the lights being mounted. Am using 3 full spectrum led and the principle is the same just wasn't sure about light spacing in regards to seedlings, not microgreens. Thanks for all the awesome content.

Thx

I found it! Thx.

I really love your whole approach. I started slowly building a single rack for home consumption afew months back. Do you have any favourites for eating at home?

great content, excellent

Hey Josh love the info great info I have a question could you put some nutrient information on the different stuff you grow thinking of starting a live salad bar but want to know the best nutrient dense stuff to grow thanks

Great video. Thanks. What is the spacing from shelf to shelf? Do you ever move the lights closer to the greens?

Thx!

Basically on a 20 amp circuit which is one plug-in you can plug-in about 20 100 W lightbulbs.

Hey Josh, thanks for the vid! On average what are you making per flat of micro greens when selling to restaurants? Roughly how many hours a day do you dedicate to the micro greens?

Thank you so much for the information. Do you find your lights are enough fro your starts? I will have starts under lights for 2 months and Our electric costs are very high .25kwh

Josh, would those lights work well for vegetable plants?

Hi and thanks. What is the spacing between your shelves ? Thanks

Hey, I LOVE that you're in right in my town, Raleigh! Do you do any farmer's markets?

is ambient temperature important? I am thinking of doing this in the spare room in my basement, but it gets pretty cold down there, around 50-60F at times.

Hi Josh! Thank you for all of the information that you share! I looked through a bunch of questions from this video and the other microgreens video and hope that you haven't answered this question already but you mentioned you would use LED lights if you had the money - what would you recommend? We bought the ones from Nolt's Greenhouse Supply (they were cheap) and the micros grew very poorly even when we increased it to 4 tubes per shelf. We ended up moving them to our greenhouse. So perhaps we bought the wrong kind of LEDs, although watching your video makes me want to just buy fluorescent lights! Thanks again. - Yoko

It would be sooo cool if you added a big fish aquarium to your microgreen room. I think fish are the coolest pet to have.

Thanks Josh. I do have a question. How far above your trays are your lights?? Also it looks as if you have 2 lights above each tray, is that correct? I began starting my own plants for the garden in the winter of 2019. I use one T5 bulb above one tray of plants and they just are not the quality they should be.

Did you leave a link down below for the cap your wearing?

Thanks for a great video! How often do you water using this method and are you using soil for all your greens?

Thank you for the electricity part, I'm breaking my head how to connect them LEDs and I have no idea what so ever about electricity
