Where did you go? Fairly new and I think weâve watched every video but havenât seen any recent videos.
Thank you so much, you are our go to person for guidance!!! Hope all is well!!
this is how i water all my greens (just baaarrreeeelllyyy cover the bottom tray) and it works great. makes the roots stretch to look for water. The roots reflect the canopy imo.
Now we're learning! | This is a new type of microgreen we didn't know very well before!
thank you!! very informative video
Your the bombâŠawesome!!!
Just so you know Ino the description does say you need 15lbs weight on it. So that must have been a typo!
Seriously, everyone should be using the herb shaker.
Close up of labels would be nice. Thanks for your videos! @MicroMunchFarms
nice
Please consider a tutorial on how to grow red veined sorrel. I've been able to grow it hydroponically but I'm interested in how to get a whole tray full with soil or coco. Thank you in advance!
100% considering it! Actively learning how to grow it myself as we speak đ
Once I nail down all the kinks, I'll create a video.
Use very little seed, water well and grow it without a top cover. Keep it moist and watch it grow. Itâs really not hard.
Any suggestions for growing amaranth as sprouts without soil?
I m very glad to watch your videos, really happy. I d like to know the name of nutrients you use. From Italia, Sergio . Thanks
Iâd love to see mahogany. Iâm 6 days in and itâs just barely germinated.
how much do you sell it for if you only get a small amount to harvest
so IF you let it grow for another 2 weeks what would happen in terms of weight?
like this, you got about 100g in 2 trays IF was to stay longer how many grams you recon you could harvest from the same 2 trays?
Just so you know, the bitly links in the description dont work.
I checked that link for the absorbent pads and it wants me to fill out a form to talk to somebody before I can buy them. Is there another link where you can just buy them without having to submit your information like email? I shouldn't need to go through all that for a few pads.
hi when i cut the amaranth, can the shoots regrow new leaves again? i want to try grow this for aesthetics in my paludarium

For carrot microgreens, you say not to add weight, but without the weight the top layer of soil kind of gets pulled up as the plants grow. What would you suggest?
This was actually corrected in one of our last version uploaded! bit.ly/2PlAhFH (Keep an eye out for updates every week đ)
I'm actually very happy that you figured that our on your own! It just proves that you know exactly how troubleshoot the issues you come across!
@@PrincetonMicrogreens Thanks! So I already started growing the carrots without weight with the problem, so what would you suggest I do to remedy it?
@@jonnyspot9877 Just stick weight on them anyways!
@@PrincetonMicrogreens I'm also in NJ, but quite a far way away from Princeton! Do you need any licensing for growing in NJ? Could you point me to the rules, as I am just getting started. I tried looking on the NJDA website but got nowhere. Thanks much!
@@jonnyspot9877 I called them on the phone and they were pretty helpful. Basically said that anything under 100k a year, nothing is required.
We do have farmers market insurance and regular business liability insurance, along with a food handlers permit though.
Do you actually have to use these trays to grow microgreens? .
no
Great video! Your description is different from your method I believe. You did 9 grams and no weight but the description says 8 grams a 15 lbs weight. Or am I missing something? I also have a question: How much seeds can you put on. I see some calculators suggest 20 grams. Thanks!
Did you watch the video again?
@@nancyfahey7518 Yes I did! - at 5:15 "Just like that, no weight".
I noticed in your USB fans I'm curious on the configuration are they back the back side by side pushing One Direction on oneself opposite direction on the other are they all going the same way please advise
Opposite direction.
I know itâs strange, but it works just fine so đđ€·đ»ââïž
If I had the chance to redo it, I would. Just so busy! đ„Ž
hey! quick question. You say no weight but I see weight in the description
Def no weight. Typo.
Appreciate it, Iâll fix it shortly!
Amaranth seems like one of the least profitable ones to grow eh? Kind of a shame since it seems so cool.
So great for personal, though. One of the highest protein contents of all microgreens and has a nice, mild flavor. Perfect for adding to salads
you need better lighting over your work table.
Compostable is only effective if there is a proper facility in your town. Kind of a confusing idea for consumers who just think youâre able to throw it in a compost pile.
It actually needs a high heat composting facility that is not on the top of the agenda for many cities.
