GUIDES
Microgreen growing guides. Fix it from only $3 a month.
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.
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.
SETUP
How to Fill and Pre-Moisten a Tray
Screen the medium, hydrate the block, run the squeeze test, fill to depth, level and firm. Ten steps at the bench before a single seed goes down.
TROUBLESHOOT
How to Fix Leggy Microgreens
Measure the gap, reset the fixture, set the timer, weigh the seed, cool the shelf. Seven steps at the rack, plus triage for the tray you already have.
TROUBLESHOOT
How to Prevent Mold on Microgreens
The mist test, the humidity band, where the fan goes, bottom watering, and the between-cycle clean in order. Nine steps and a daily thirty-second walk.
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.
PRODUCTION
How to Grow Microgreens for Market
Twelve steps from soak to sealed clamshell. Sow weights, cover days, judging the cut, drying, portioning, labeling and getting it cold.
PRODUCTION
How to Run Sprout Jars and Trays
Both routines side by side. The jar line and the tray line, a day-by-day timetable, and the hygiene rules for sharing one bench between them.
WORKSHEET
How to Calculate Cost per Tray
Total your inputs, count the labor minutes, divide, convert to a clamshell price, then work back from a monthly goal to a weekly tray target.
COMPLIANCE
How to Prepare for an Organic Inspection
Build the binder, file a certificate for every seed and substrate lot, keep the sanitation log, and rehearse the trace before the inspector runs it.
