- Radish microgreens are crunchy and taste exactly like radish. They are also very easy and fast growers. They make a great addition to any salad, sandwich or garnish. Use sparingly for a radish accent!

Thanks so much for choosing our Compostable Containers!! We are a small family run company and we really appreciate the link in your description! We LOVE Micro Greens!
I had no idea Sustainsble food storage products even existed! Definitely got my eye on some products.
The spice bottle is brilliant ðŸ‘
Great information I learned a few things, where did you find the knife for cutting.
Peter you are a wealth of knowledge! Thank you! With your info I have the courage to start my own microgreens rack. :)
Keep us posted with how it goes!! 🥰🥰
soooo awesome best micro channel on YT!!
Thanks so much. Could you do a vidro about SUGGESTED USES for each type of microgreens?
Thank you for all the great information. What is the harvest knife you’re using?
It really isn't 25cents of seed per tray. I estimate $2.95 in seed per 1020 tray, when you buy a 1lb of Sango Radish
Thank you for this video, I just started my microgreen journey...yesterday haha and you have given a lot of good information I really enjoyed it and thank you so much!
You are great. I hope you thrive and have a lot of success. Thank you for this amazing videos
I'd love to see a video on home deliveries. Until then could you give a quick explanation of how you do this? Do you use coolers with ice packs when the customer is not at home at the time of delivery?
This would make for a good video. I can put it on the list.
Thanks!
Does it matter which way you put the absorbent pad in? Shiny side face down or against the microgreens?
Have you tried growing Rambo radish? They seem similar in color, tastes great and cheaper than Sango.
This is a very accurate statement. Unfortunately when we started growing they didn't have "Rambo Radish" in stock and we are still working our way through the Sango Seed! From what We've researched, they do in fact grow the exact same way!
Good work and thank you
What your thoughts on using aquarium water because it's moving and aerated, which other plants I've grown respond noticeably better
im envious of your tray of radish how do you get them so high my trays are shallow ill hsve to get some higher ones you said true leaf have them thank you for you info
I know this was asked where you get your green and white tray. For some reason I could not find where the link is. Sorry for a repeat question.
Thanks Peter..great video:)
Super glad you enjoyed this one 😆
First day you are pouring large quantity of water which is required for next three days, won't this attract mold ?
It depends on the crop, but most crops absolutely not. Others like sunflower, it does.
We do this for most our microgreens and have never had a problem.
Also, you don’t need that much water. The water has no where to go when covering up the tray. As long as it isn’t too hot in your grow space, the water won’t evaporate out. No need to spray them daily.
Hi
My microgreens seeds are facing problems in germinating.
The temperature in my grow room is 27 to 29 degree Celsius.
What's the weight of the block you put on your trays.
I am using 2 bricks
Great vid, thanks! How do you choose nutrients? I am trying to find an alternative in Canada. Ocean Magic is not available here
11/7/2022: walmart coconut coir is now $13+, still free shipping
how many hours of light do they get? Great Video thank you
Great video! Why did you decide to use Coco Coir as your medium of choice?
A few reasons.
1. It's EXTREAMLY cheap and profitable. We get our Coco Coir for $10 a block and can do about 20+ trays.
2. It's very predictable due to the soil-like consistency.
3. Microgreens don't need many nutrients and even tend to get nutrient burn. Coir solves this problem as you can add in any smidge of nutrients you would like directly into the water.
4. Did I mention how cheap it is! :)
Great video brotherman. Would you be kind enough to let me know the grams per 1020 of everything you grow? I would imagine you already have something like this. Thanks for your time.
The labels you have on jars and lids
Very solid video, I have been on the fence about starting my own little house hold grow-op and really needed something like this to get me over the hump. I do have one question though, the mineral water mix you use... That's ocean water?
Thanks for the positive feedback. I've gone ahead and added the nutrients we use to the description on the video.
Ocean Sea Minerals (Nutrients) → t.ly/xd03
We add 0.5 oz. of Sea Nutrients to every 1 gallon of water. In my experience, it gives the microgreens just the right amount of nutrients they need to grow (they don't need much). We like to stay as close to Seed/Water/Harvest as possible without adding anything extra to our crop. This is the reason we stick with coco coir instead of soil.
Hope this helps and look forward to seeing you in the future :)
agreed...your content is flawless!
Great video. Thanks for sharing! I really like how you have the summary in the description. You mentioned the medium you use is coco-coir but the link to that product takes to a potting mix. Is it a poting mix with coco coir?
Thanks for watching! If you look at the mix, it says 100% coco coir in the bottom left of the picture. It says its a potting mix, but just coir :)
@@PrincetonMicrogreens I see it now. Thank you:)
thank's for your videos! they are so helpful and a high quality resource (i've seen and read a lot of info about microgreens in a lot of places and this has been by far the best source) Question: do you pre moist coco coir before add it to the trays?
It’s sort of pre-moistened already from mixing the dried coco Coir black with water before hand. ☺ï¸
Thanks for watching. Comments like that is what keeps us going 🥰🥰
@@PrincetonMicrogreens thank you! I asked this because I bought coco coir inside big bags, not dried on a block shape. Greetings from Chile!
When sowing/planting, your coir should be soaked 100%, but not to the point that the water forms a puddle underneath!
Have you ever had issues with your radish leaves "bubbling"? Can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have a fan on them, assuming it was because the leaves were wet. I order my seeds through true leaf and I've been battling this the past month with them.
Love your content.
one more question - wouldn't your customers like a daikon PLUS spicey radish mix??
First of all - you seriously rock with this channel! Thank you so much!
Question: Do the trays you use for blackout at 15:50 have holes? (Edit - never mind - I saw someone else asked the same question previously. No holes!)
Correct, no holes!
And thanks so much ☺ï¸â˜ºï¸
Hey this is an awesome video, thank you. I was wondering why you don't soak the seeds - is this a personal choice? Does it make any sense for me to soak my seeds? Thank you agagin
You soak the bigger seeds like peas but not the small ones
Princeton Microgreens - what size are the clamshells you use for the radish? And do you use different size containers for pea shoots and sunflowers? I am looking to order these containers just need to know what size I should get for the different variety of microgreens.
We use the 24oz Containers for 2oz of microgreens (radish + sunflower).
We use the 32oz Containers for 4oz of microgreens ( radish, sunflower, and pea).
We only do 4oz for Pea since it is so big and heavy. 2oz would be too small.

@@PrincetonMicrogreens awesome thank you for the info! Just ordered both sizes.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens awesome I just received the containers and the size is perfect. What size absorbent pads do you order from that website that you linked?
@@joshspiro5170 awesome! So glad they worked out for you!
FreshWell Absorbent Pad 1 Cell, 3†x 3.7†(5,400 Pads per Box)
For a quote, email: Christa.biggs@aptar.com
how do you KNOW the radish needs blackout and why? you didn't explain
what happens if NO blackout?
forgot to ask do you soak the radish and do you really put in 33 grams
What kind of fans are you using in this video?
What size containers are you using in the video? When I click the link it takes to the place you get them but not the actual container
Standard 1020 trays
what size container are you using for radish? Do you also use that size container for all your MG?
He used 10 x 20. I don't think he is keeping up with this channel anymore. Do a google search.
nice video TKS! ..the music is too loud!!!
Do you rinse these before eating them and if so what's your process?
this look nice
Hello, what is the price for 100 grams of pure microgreens? thanks
Do you offer a seeding chart? Recommendation on grams of seed per 1020 tray? I tried your link to your planting chart but it said it couldn’t connect to server
How many hours a day of light?
Where did you get the fine misting spray nozzel???
A two questions if I might: (a) do you use fans over the microgreens ONLY for the last 24 hours before harvest? (b) Have you had any experience with other commercial potting mixes in place of coco coir? (e.g. with Miracle Grow Potting mix) Comparison?
We have fans blowing around in the room 24/7 but not the rack fans. Those we kick on before harvest as stated.
I don’t personally like miracle grow mixes as they are a bit more than you would need for quadruple the cost. I have used it successfully In the past, it didn’t see any differences between it and coir with ocean nutrients. I’d rather have the clean coco coir since I know exactly what’s in my tray ☺ï¸
Is Coconut Coir better than promix or peat mix?
yo I r coc0 coir looks different from ours in australia or dont you soak it first as im confused
Do you have a grow guide? I’ve tried a couple, but I like your grow model... more the way I grow... I just tried one from a very reputable company where you don’t use black out for broccoli, radish, speckled pea, red acre cabbage, spicy salad...not the success I’ve had with black out.
Check the video description. One of the first links 😎
We dont need to add Water every days?
Did my first practice grow with radish and I just took them out of blackout stage and they have little black specks on the leaves is this normal
i saw this 1st tine.. is work in india also & make profit from that ?
Where do you get those seed labels from
do you p.h. your nutrient solution?
When you are watering with the hose are you using plain tap water?
www.amazon.com/dp/B07YCJ33Q4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_vHfeGbJP2NK43
We use this filter for our hose. Works great for filtering out anything!
Do you process and recycle your coco coir to be used for microgreens again? If not what do you do with your used coco coir?
You should NOt reuse the coir however, the possibilities are endless on what to do with it.
We put it in a big trash can and once a week I have I drop it at a local farm where they use it for chicken feed. After the chickens pick through it, they compost it and then later use it for various other outdoor purposes.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens Thank you for your reply! That is a great use of your used coir, i will defo look into the farming route
Grow what you grow and if it sells it sells...I get that but what happens if you grow and don't sell it, though? What do you do then? I'm just asking because it seems a lot of chefs want stuff on demand, not grow-to-order, but it makes it hard to balance profits and losses as a microgreens farmer and business owner that way.
😂
You just described what it's like to be in this industry well
How long do you keep the lights on for you running them 24 hours for three days
16 on, 8 off
My radish grow and fall over everywhere. What do you think I am doing wrong? Thank you!
They need more water or else they flop over.
How do you deal with under grow?
Where do you buy your green and white trays?
Link is in the description of all our videos!
Hey Peter, great video. What is the price for the moisture pads? How much come in the pack?
$300 for a pack of 5,400
@@PrincetonMicrogreens thanks for your quick response. I use napkin and split it in half. It does stay long as the moisture pads. My microgreens last 10 days before it start go down hill. I don't use clap shell. I use sushi box, top part is plastic and bottom half is made of card board.
@@RawbornJamaican ours usually last 3-4 weeks.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens I have been looking for something like this for a long time. This will add a lot of value. Does the moisture pads have the company brand on it or it is blank?
@@RawbornJamaican it says fresh-pac or something like that. But it’s fine cause the customer immediately knows what it’s for.
And tray which you are using for blackout does it contains hole ?...and instead of using tray , can I close it with black cover
Yes this should absolutely work!
@@PrincetonMicrogreens thank you so much for your prompt response. Does the black tray contains holes ?
@@keerthimuthu3559 Definitely don' t use the tray with holes for blackout!
Hello do you still sell microgreens? Seems like everyone that posted has ghosted either microgreens business are dead or they to busy making money IDK
As in regular water do you mean tap water or filtered water?
At the time of this video is was regular water.
But we hav me since installed a reverse osmosis system. They are pretty cheap at Home Depot. $200-300. Also very easy to install.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens thank you so much Im 17 and I would like to start as a hobby first then a business! Your videos are helping me so much! I just got my seeds today radish, sunflower, dun pea, and broccoli! I need a good cheap light any recommendations?
No amount of profit enough when its come to graw something
Its demand and supply
It is pronounced "kwar". Not "koyer"!!!
Coming from another Microgreens Farmer, I'd never buy from a guy in a Collar 😆 C'mon dude.. we're real people here, not a Corporation .
Do you still run your business? What happened?
