GUIDES
Microgreen growing guides.
From the team behind microGREEN FX. Field-tested at the farm that passed organic certification on the first attempt. Twelve guides covering the home grower, the troubleshooter, the variety specialist, and the operator who wants this to be a real business.
REFERENCE
The Free Microgreen Seed Density Guide
All four tray sizes, sixteen varieties, plus why germination rate is the real lever behind every density chart. The one piece of paper that fixes patchy trays.
BEGINNER
How to Grow Microgreens at Home
The honest version of starting microgreens at home. The 4 things that actually matter, the 14 things most blogs say that do not, and the system most home growers wish they had built on day one.
GEAR
Best Soil for Microgreens
Coir versus peat versus compost-based versus soilless mat. The trade-off most beginner guides skip. What we tested at microGREEN FX and what actually produced the highest weighed yield per tray.
TROUBLESHOOT
Why Are My Microgreens Leggy
Leggy microgreens are not a mystery. They are a feedback loop telling you something specific. Three diagnostic questions and the fix for each.
TROUBLESHOOT
How to Prevent Mold on Microgreens
Mold is the single largest cause of lost trays for new microgreen growers. Most of it is preventable with three small operational changes.
VARIETY
How to Grow Broccoli Microgreens
Broccoli microgreens are easy to grow and hard to grow well. The difference between a $4 tray and a $40 tray is in details most guides leave out.
VARIETY
How to Grow Pea Shoots
Pea shoots are the gateway microgreen for restaurants. Easy to grow, easy to mishandle. The seed-soak step almost everyone gets wrong.
VARIETY
How to Grow Sunflower Microgreens
Sunflower is the highest-yielding microgreen most growers stock. It is also the easiest to ruin with poor blackout management.
VARIETY
How to Grow Radish Microgreens
Radish microgreens are fast, profitable, and forgiving. The decision that determines whether they sell or sit is harvest timing, not growing technique.
BUSINESS
Best Microgreens to Sell
Most "what to grow" lists are written for hobby growers. This is the list of varieties that actually move at farmers markets, restaurants, and grocery wholesale.
CONCEPT
Microgreens vs Sprouts
Microgreens and sprouts get lumped together by people who have never grown either. The grow time, the food-safety profile, and the buyer are all different.
BUSINESS
How Much Can You Make Selling Microgreens
The honest answer is wider than the gurus admit. Per-tray revenue, weekly run-rate, and what most growers earn versus what they project.
BUSINESS
Organic Certification for Microgreen Farms
Most farms fail their first organic certification attempt. microGREEN FX did not. Here is exactly what we prepared, what the inspector cared about most, and what trips up new applicants.
