First harvest
I started growing microgreens 10 days ago and will harvest this Monday 4/20. Quite a few true leaves are starting to show :)
This is 2Tbsp of about 15 different seed varieties in a 2-tier 10x7" steel container, coco coir liner for substrate, and a tiny bit of "Liqui-Dirt" fertilizer in the bottom tray. There are drainage holes in the top tray and a gap between trays that allows the liquid fertilizer to evaporate and penetrate the coco from the bottom with the roots in between.
I'm very happy with the results but it does seem a little crowded so I will use only 1Tbsp of seeds in the next batch as shown. I have 4 trays total rotating one tray every Monday for a steady supply of greens.
I'm planning on using hemp fiber mats instead of coconut fiber in the future, also in larger 12x9" steel trays for larger harvests.
I think this might be my new favorite hobby and any information or critiques are welcome!
