How to Grow Scallion Microgreens!! Scallion Full Walk-Through
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 11. 2020
- 🥳 This is our step-by-step guide for growing Scallion Microgreens on coco coir with Tips & Tricks along the way! Scallion Microgreens are more of a delicate crop, as they are very small in size.
✅ Scallion Microgreens are PACKED with a lovely onion flavor and they made a great addition to our meals - in fact they became one of our favorites to use!! The main issue with growing Scallion microgreens is controlling mold that happens from the seed hulls naturally decaying. However, we discuss this topic in our video here!!
We hope all the tips and tricks sprinkled throughout the video to help you grow microgreens at home or for your business! When making these videos, we take extra care to put out CZcams videos that have the most comprehensive, easy, and in-depth free Microgreens Tutorials that you can find on CZcams, as we do not hide any of our growing techniques, methods, or secrets and we try to be as transparent as we can.
**Keep in mind that for different grow mediums such as grow mats or our reusable microgreen grow medium, different techniques may need to be used to get the exact results, so keep in mind that not all mediums are equal - however, this video will give you a great head start on learning!
And if you want to know even more in depth how to grow microgreens? Our newest book "Becoming a Microgreen Master" is NOW AVAILABLE!!
We also have MANY other full walk-through grow videos on our CZcams channel for various crop varieties! Thank y'all so much for the support!

Great video! Thanks!
Hello guys, I tried to top water at the first day under lights and it really helps to push the suspended soil down . I have good ventilation so it wasnt an issue towards mold etc. Great video again , I learn a lot on your channel :)

I grow my "sprouts" a touch different and actually more like you do for microgreens.
I don't sow as thickly but I let them grow out taller and cut them down to about only 1 inch tall. But I can get several cuttings off of them. the last few times I grew chives as I can get the seed for free from my big patches of chives from the garden. And instead of composting the roots-i plant them out into my herb beds. Let them grow just a tiny bit bigger and they will reward you by regrowth.
This past summer, to try and save money, Because onion seed for sprouting is so expensive, I planted out big onions and let them go to seed. I only ended up with 6 tablespoons of seed. I now know why there is the huge price for onion seeds.
But I grow onions for the garden from seed, they are topped regularly to keep them short under the lights and to grow stocky for planting out.
All those little cuttings from topping are as nice as the chives I grow as microgreens/ sprouts. Plus I end up with garden fresh organic onions/shallots/scallions and chives.
Now to figure out how to get garlic chives to thrive in my garden like the regular chives.
Love this video and I'm getting excited about growing more microgreens.
Oh because of your pumpkin video I have saved a bunch of squash and pumpkin seeds to sprout. I do not like the flavor of them but my chickens went absolutely bonkers over them.
So for my little egg laying pets I now have wheat-sunflowers-lentils-popcorn and now these huge luscious pumpkin and squash sprouts. It will help keep them healthy while the snow flies.
I'm so happy I found this channel. Stay safe you two. Keep sprouting!
Thankyou very much! we will! you stay safe, too! Keep Be-Leafing! Emeraldwitch30 😀We are so excited to announce that both our Microgreens Master Book and our first Microgreens Cookbook will be available very soon!

Thanks for this, just got some garlic chive and scallion seeds to try for a chef and this was very helpful. Slightly distracted by the reflection of the halo lights in Mandi's pupils in the intro!!
Awesome 🤩
We do love scallion microgreens! They are so delicate and dainty, but they pack a punch of flavor! 😉Eiymii Would you Be~Leaf we're actively working on tasty recipes that will highlight the various flavors of your favorite microgreens in surprising ways...Not just a garnish...yum!!
They look great thanks. I love all your videos. 🌱❤️🌱
For the life of me I can't understand why someone would give it a 👎 smh. Strange lol 🤣 GROW ON 😉
Thank you so much for the support!! It really means a lot to us Tanis Olson Metz! We don't know why anyone would either!!😃
I think I have watched almost all of your videos by this point and all of them were very usefull. All the tips, tricks, experiments… Amazing. One thing I haven’t seen u do yet is LENTILS. Do you grow those? Why not? What about a experiment no medium (like the peas) vs coconut fiber mats vs regular coco coir. that would be fun
Beautiful videos

@@OnTheGrow so good. Congratulations and i will. Im sad i haven't known. Awesome teaching and work.
💚Thank you so much for the support Marissa (maroosk)!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
Wow, that's a lot of seed. You're like the ultimate prepper. lol I just bought a small packet of chives to check out the taste. After watching this video, I started wondering whether or not you've tried drying any of microgreen herbs you've grown to see if they store okay.
Nice video I have a chef asking me for that all the time
🙂Thank you so much for the Feedback jonathan avice! We appreciate your support!
Let's start that chef growing some in his own kitchens!!!😉
Happy to see that you have stopped tampering with the soil 😂. Love you guys, great video.
Lol, yeah, sometimes we have to fail forward and learn as we go 😆 Thank you so much for the support!! 🤗🌱🌱
Why did you stop tampering? Have you stopped tampering all crops?
@@ryanridgley9126 We still tamp our soil like we do in this video! He was making a joke that we messed up a previous video and called "tamping" "tampering"... A silly mistake but fun to poke at nonetheless :)
We do like to mess with stuff, though! Haha! Thanks for watching! Thank you so much for the support Ronald Cummings!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄

you guys have the best microgreen videos on youtube. Thanks for that. How about looking at different ways to harvest? For instance, the Quick-cut Greens Harvester from farmers friend, or a cheese wire? just thoughts I had.
Tried cheese wire, too thick. Yeah! We will try some alternative methods out. Thank you so much for the support Joe!!
Well, for almost $600.00, We would have to have a pretty big operation to justify that cost! The greens harvester is mainly for lettuce-like crops, because it pulls the leafs off. I do not believe a cheese wire would be as simple as it sounds! Joe Pavlic Have you signed up for our Master Class yet? Please get ready to take advantage of all the information we've assembled for you!!!
It's De German's! Great looking Crop! As I'm still messing around with my greens i have decided to build a tower just for strawberrys. I should have all my supplies tomorrow to start the build.
Sorry: fun to grow, but from a small farm commercial standpoint, strawberries are a waste of energy and space. Two years to fruition. Requires tons of space that could be used for more profitable crops.
We have to agree on that point! Tasty and fun! But, as for profitable? Not so sure! Keep Be-Leafing in microgreens is all we can say!
Best of luck to you, fellow plant lover! 😀 Joey Brannon Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website...

Maybe no extra soil on top. Just add the total amount of soil and then seed maybe. Since your using a tray to create darkness and moisture. This acts like top layer of soil. Just a thought. 👍🏾👍🏾. Great video 🙏🏾🙏🏾
i saw the trays come in set of white and green. Do you buy the top green tray separately? Where is just the green tray available ?
The watering attachment looked really useful! Where you can buy one? (And was it just hooked up to a normal 'weed sprayer' pump?) Thanks !

Very interesting video. I heard of hydroponic screen as a grow medium. Would scallions grow on this to avoid having soil on your finished product?
Thanks for your reply,

You are my go to source for how to do it best. You know there is a plant called Duckweed, a.k.a. Water Lentil, it is a legit source of plant based B12 which, according to most, is impossible to get from a vegan diet. If you could come up with a dependable way of sprouting and/or microgreening this plant...it might be beneficial to us all...if you know what I mean. Thanks for the great vids. I will support your efforts.
Thank you for sharing! We will look into that and see if we can get some growing for a walkthrough!

I started growing micro greens today. I wanted quick help and found your helpful channel to assist me. I can feel the same passion as you subtly say- spiritual feelings. I love your channel and I have been binge watching your videos. I subscribed to your channel and I will owe you support if I get my initial success. Please let me know how I can support your channel. I want to see more videos. I want to grow micro greens all my life….if I succeed. Wish me luck! & a big Thank you to you and entire On the Grow team.
How many hrs are they under the lights?
I have done onion microgreen, which are very similar to chives. Do you really eat the seed hulls? I found them to be un-edible and would get stuck in my teeth. However, I found that if you wait, they will remove the seed hull and you can get multiple cuts from them, without seeds on top. I am currently on cut #3 of my current onion microgreens batch.
Yes, this is one of the crops that will continue to sprout a while after first harvest, with no more seed hulls! I sure wish they would all do that! Don't you!? Thank you so much for the support Gravy Boat!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄
Yes even the dirt is good for you. MANDI your awesome- I don’t mind a little dirt. I lost it because you never hear a dainty girl say that. And you are not dainty. Rock on 👍
Hello there, can I able to transplant this?
Where can i buy that mister for misting seeds?

Hi Mandy and Cj.
What is the reason for putting a layer of soil over the seeds. I haven't got a straight answer regarding onions and why some prefer soil over the seeds and some dont
Hello Jordan! Putting a layer of soil over does a few things... it helps trap humidity and moisture, helping in germination. It can also act as something for the seeds to press against and get the seed shells removed while pushing up through... Try it with and without soil over and see what works best for your batch! Some batches do best with a thin layer, other do well without any layer at all!
Usually, with some of the smaller , harder shelled types of seeds, we will do this. It just helps them germinate without having to kep them too wet!😊 Jordan Speck 😉Hello again from "On The Grow"...We apologize for not being timely on your last request or comment!!!

Please do a video on actual scallions (these are chives). They do taste different and are a yummy enhancer to many dishes! I'm sure you'll love them if you haven't tried them already!
We will put scallions on our gotta try list! Currently we are trying to figure out fenugreek for all of y'all that have requested us to do so! Thank you so much for the Feedback Geert Marien! We appreciate your support!
Did you guys stop using the dehydrator mats? If so, what was the main reason?
No, we still use them from time to time. We just prefer other grow mediums, usually! Thank you so much for the support w vdw!!

I noticed you didn't use Coco Coir. was that intentional? Do they not grow well in Coco Coir?
Do I need Scallion seeds or microgreen scallion seeds or are they the same thing?. Plus can I use Coconut coir? Help please thank in advance
You can use either! You can absolutely use Coco Coir! Just follow the same steps and you should have solid growth :)
@@OnTheGrow thanks for getting back I appreciate that, have a wonderful day
Your onion guide on your PDF has vanished! 😁 Is it the same growing method as scallions?
Yes!! And we are going to redo the onion video because we did scallions by accident 😂
@@OnTheGrow haha!!
Can you use coco coir?
Yeah!! We have noticed that Coco can be more prone to molding due to its insanely excellent water retention, so keep that in mind. Avoid over-watering and treat the coco with H202 or other natural anti-fungal if needed.
Yes you can use coco coir, in fact, that is what we usually do! If you're curious how we grow different Microgreens varieties we have a CZcams playlist that breaks it down from seeding to harvest day for various crops using our methods! You should check it out and see if we’ve done the crop you're looking for! (odds are we have haha)

I would like to see anyone attempt to grow a lawn like with onions or leek seeds. Anyone up for the challenge?
Lol, that would be alot fun for the neighborhood!!
I see you guys use pump sprayers and handheld spray bottles in a lot of your videos, but have you made sure they are CODE PP5 and BPA free? No point using Filtered water when you are leaching chemicals through your sprayers
What is the shelf life of chives?
When they’re cut up in small pieces they dry in a few days (at least here in Sweden) then they last until next summer. Hope it helped you ☺️
Not very long, They tend to keep for 3-4 days after harvest at best. Do not clean these until right before you are ready to use them for a little longer shelf life. 😉donna mareno Would you Be~Leaf we're actively working on tasty recipes that will highlight the various flavors of your favorite microgreens in surprising ways...Not just a garnish...yum!!
$8.55 of product for $4.19 but how much electricity was used under lights?
Electricity barely costs anything since we use LED's.... onthegrow.net/blogs/news/in-depth-blog-post-the-impact-of-lighting-on-rambo-radish-microgreens-growth

Chives are scallions? Hmmm...
Hmmm...not on my baked potato
Actually, chives are the only true herb in the onion family. The flavor is the same, however, Had to research that one! 🙂
Why not?!! Extra vitamins and flavor! 😊
Wait, I’m confused. Chives is different from scallions… it’s two different crops… what?! 🤔🤔🤔
Hahaha, yeah, we realized after we did the video 😆 mistakes happen 🌱🌱
Chives and scallions are NOT THE SAME. Please correct your title.
looks like grass 🙄
Chives are not scallions 😶😅
Lol, yeah we realized after we made the video 😅 Live and learn I suppose
Yeah, can you get that camera any closer...???... Good Lord...
Try a wider lens. Maybe 11mm
Yeah, it came out a bit closer than we expected, but we didn’t want to not post it because of that. 🤗🌱🌱
But look how cool her eyes reflected the lights! 😆
@@Emeraldwitch30 I thought it was tiger eye contacts or something like that.
Thank you so much for the support Robert Sparling!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 And, yes, sometimes that camera gets a bit close! We also had some great reflections of the lights coming off of Mandi's eyes!
