Full tutorial of how I grow microgreens in shallow glass containers. I use a nutrient solution so I can grow them out to baby greens and maximize my yields. Many more experiments with microgreens coming as we attempt to reduce our plastic usage and incorporate more renewable options.

I'm soo jealous of your wife! Lucky lady! I just love "simple men" money savers and don't take money for granted. Thank you for great videos!

So glad to see this. I've been wary of all these gardeners using plastic containers. They do leach chemicals into the soils which get into the plants snd then into us!!!

Not a new grower but new to your channel. I really like your videos and appreciate the simple format. It’s easy to understand your methods and you give a lot of detail on the products you use. I’m getting a little older and transitioning to growing more on shelves and indoors. Also, love growing micro greens and I like how simple your methods are…mine are too involved! lol

I’ve been struggling with microgreens. I’ve been using bricks to weigh them down for a few days, and then a couple days in blackout, then introduce them to light. It’s been kinda hit or miss for me, some just didn’t work out. This seems to be a great way to grow them, and when you’re talking cheap and easy, I’m thinking the clay pebbles will last a very long time, so you’re definitely saving in the long run

@KeepOnGrowin 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I got tired of losing entire trays of microgreens. This way if something goes sideways, it's just a small amount.

@ryanhopps7966 5 месяцев назад

10 lbs of clay pebbles on the way!

Hey Mike, question..... I grow lots of microgreens, tks to you. I never get the true leaves or 2nd set b4 the micros start falling over and need to be harvested. What's up with that??? Mahalo for any response.

@KeepOnGrowin 2 месяца назад

Nutrients or just water? Also experiment with density.

I don't know. They just bring things in and dump them in bins. Starts at $10 one day and drops to $1 by Wed.

@ryanhopps7966 5 месяцев назад

Sounds like a Florida flea market to me … if you search discount glass bowls you should find some deals…you’ll also find glass pipes so you may have to refine your search lol

@jamesy3851 3 месяца назад

I found glass containers at dollar tree with plastic lids, but the lid is solid/closed. Should I just cut an x shape into them like the lids you have here?

@NopeAndYep 5 месяцев назад

Can you grow with regular pebbles? Pea gravel would be heavy, but could work? Maybe?

@KeepOnGrowin 5 месяцев назад

clay pebbles retain moisture

Hi thankyou for the video, can you pull the plants out instead of cutting them and consume the roots too please and thankyou 😊

I would not, the water has been sitting for a week and it is in nutrients, not for consumption.

How was the Masterblend 20-20-20? If I remember correctly, you tried it at one time.

@MK-cw4gw 5 месяцев назад

I had the same question. I have been using it based off of his recommendation but it looks like he has moved away from it. I don't remember him explaining the change unless I missed a step in a video somewhere.

@KeepOnGrowin 5 месяцев назад

worked for me but I do mostly leafy greens. Other people were having trouble with it and reducing the ratio. I don't get into messing with all of that and just suggest the original formula so everyone does not get confused.

@danielt6689 5 месяцев назад

@@KeepOnGrowin Thanks, good to know. Long time traditional in-ground gardener, I started hydroponics and bought the 20-20-20 specifically based on your videos.

@MK-cw4gw 5 месяцев назад

@@KeepOnGrowin Thank you Mike! I was one of those that had some initial issues. After some tweaking, I think I got it right. My issue seemed to be proper dilution of the powder. Once I let it fully dissolve in the water and increased the water ratio slightly, to about 75% strength, I got the best results. (for me) Awesome new idea using the clay pellets!! Can't wait to dig into this one! Have a great day and thanks again for all you do! Mike - Northern NY

@jonisolis9645 5 месяцев назад

I also had a lot of trouble with the right mix/dilution. I now mix it at half strength and now most of my plants are doing much better. But then I am using it for mostly indoor plants and young plants under lights, not outside in bright sunlight. @@MK-cw4gw

@cherylwmh6543 5 месяцев назад

Why add the nutrient water at the beginning of the grow? I thought just plain water was used for sprouting seeds. Nutrient not until true leaves form???

microgreen seeds are cheaper for bulk. You can use regular but it will cost a lot to do any volume.

She did not mean it that way you literally took it the wrong way. And the only way you could have done that is if you were being judgemental which I feel you were.
