- Wheatgrass is an excellent source of many different vitamins and minerals. It is especially high in vitamins A, C and E, as well as iron, magnesium, calcium and amino acids. Of its 17 amino acids, eight are considered essential, meaning your body cannot produce them and you must obtain them from food sources!
Test-tube and animal studies have found that its antioxidant content may prevent oxidative stress and cell damage.

These videos are such a great resource - so glad you chose us for your compostable containers!
Hi, my seeds arrived today. I will only be doing this on a small scale, as the grass is just going to be a treat for my guinea pigs. So a full tray once a week is the plan. Yours looks great, 👌
Thank you for this informative video =)
Thank you!
Great!! I will try it
Thank you
Are you ever going to do a video on emptying, cleaning and scrubbing your trays?? I think that would be interesting.
No because this is YouthTube!
good job
Very excited, found the seeds and started soaking the first batch!!
Can't find ocean mineral in sa though
Soaking my first batch of wheat grass today 😅 we use Talborne Organics leafy greens, 1ml/ lt. Kelpak also worked well in the past for us.
thx for reviving an old memory of wheatgrass trolls in elementary school.
Check the Tap Water in your community ... ours has Chorline... Which will indeed determine the health of what you are trying to grow.
Glad I found your CZcams channel. Do you disinfect your wheat berries?
Nope. No need!
I'm making some really great sprouts thanks to you Peter! I love all your videos! Can you place a link to your scale?
I found it on Amazon. ETEKCITY is the brand.
What knife do you use for harvesting?
i am sorry if you said it already, i am new on this channel, but what humidity and temp you keep in this space
Can you share where did you get the knife? Thank you
How do you do seed disinfection to prevent fungus?
Please tell me about room environment and availability of wheat grass tray, is it available online ?
Great video! Where do you get your trays?
In the description box 🤭
1020 Trays → bit.ly/38PU9Ir
Are you keeping the lights on continuously? Or are you giving it a rest period?
After cutting your grass, can you continue to grow form the same batch? Or, is it one and done?
You did one cutting are you going to do two cuttings or do you do one cutting only per tray?
Hi Peter, can you repost the link about Microgreens business income-Expense projection?
Do you give it nutrient water everytime you water?
What is your yield per tray of wheatgrass?
what trays are you using?
My wheatgrass took 14 days to grow 3 inch. Spring wheatgrass and Im very far from mold its always super dry even though I water twice a day.
Should I give this too much water? Will it grow mold?
Hi, i have a Question
U produce with 200gr seed and how much the weihgt for the result 🤔
Tq for the video 👍👍👍🙏
What is the brown stuff you're spreading it on
Looks like a good way to grow wheatgrass. Several questions: no water from day 1 to day 4? How many ounces of wheatgrass per tray can I anticipant? Thanks!!! James
Correct with the water. If you do it correctly, you don’t need to water during germination after the initial soak and wetting the medium.
Expect 10+ oz depending on how long you grow it.
@@PrincetonMicrogreens thanks!
He did sprinkle water on day 1
Ocean Magic not available on Amazon. Any idea why?
How much do you sell your ice cube trays of wheatgrass for?
I have a question..I have been growing wheat grass for the family and lately the grass isnt growing in the middle of the trays, there are bald spots , why?
Hi Peter, question please, about wheatgrass germination period, do I need to give water once a day everyday from day 1 to day 3?
Absolutely not!
The trays are too wide for my window sill. Do you know if i can I grow them in a tinfoil tray?
can you grow it without the medium? Also, I saw a youtube video where he incorporate 1 tbsp of bleach per gallon of water. Do you really have to do that?
A large mouth jar makes this easier
Do you count the day you soak them and sow them as day 1 or the first day under weight in germination as day 1?
The day we sow and put weight on us day 1 in our eyes ☺️
If we soak, I don’t typically soak overnight. If I do, I don’t count soak as a day. Just the day we actually Sow.
Hi from new friend here...it’s very interesting! Do you think it’s possible to grow on my appartment windows? It has big glass window and morning sun.
Wheatgrass shouldn't be a problem growing near a window so-long there is proper sunlight! Let us know how you make out.
absolutely you can... I do it right now in the window and it grows wonderfully... you don't need direct sun... any window will work IME
What kind of soil did you use and also did you put water underneath?
We Never soil for our microgreens. Soil is extremely dirty and microgreens might grow in abundance from the nutrients, but at the cost of severe mold issues.
Besides, do you want to be eating a crop that your not suppose to wash, in worm castings and dirt?
Coco coir is just washed coconut husk. Extremely clean enough to eat (not that you would, gross!)
So long shorty short, use coco coir, especially for crops susceptible to mold!
Pro-mix is a premium organic (yellow bag has a slight wetting agent) sphagnum peat moss/ coco coir/perlite mix with ground up limestone for pH and mycorrhizea. You could probably eat it. It has an expiration date. If you can find it tell me. But I have no problem with it. You can also use the bag as a grow bag out in your garden.
Hi Peter, can I give hydrogen peroxide to seeds before watering them first time?
Same question will soaking on 1-7 food grade h202 help prevent mold?
Arkansas has a huge mold problem and high humidity, we grow great mushrooms, but they are not good for microgreens, wheat grass, and ginger bugs. how do you fix that?
Get a de-humidifier for the space you're planning on growing your Microgreens
What is the brown layer on your tray?
Coco coir
The tips of my wheat grass are brown what’s causing this
I’d like to buy your wheatgrass
What kind of knife are you using? I've been using scissors but they cut it all ragged.
I found your answer on the pea micro green video! Thanks for all the information you share, it has saved me a lot of mistakes 😊
Hi Peter, can I grow wheat grass without fertilizer?
No but many people grow kids without brains
@@waynemasters8673 Thank you! hahaha....
@@mariaimre5199 😂😂😂😂
I grow sunflower microgreens for the local Food Banks, retail clerks where I shop and friends/now too many😂
@@waynemasters8673 Good for you, I'm happy for you! I am growing only for my self and my husband.
what is growing in the small pots on the rack
couldn't see properly but now it looks like seeds
I just watched Itty Bitty Farm who said wheatgrass can take a lot of water. I mean, he SOAKED it. Which is correct?
Where do you get seeds
All seed links in the description box. 😘
Hi where can I find those bags at or what’s the name of them ?
What is the harvest weight for 200g of seed?
Roughly 12oz
@@PrincetonMicrogreens Awesome thank you for the fast response. I'm building a price sheet and will be presenting some to a relatively new restaurant here in my town. :)
@@spaulding304 feel free to use ours for reference.

if wheatgrass doesn't need weight or black out why put the tray on top?
For both germination and also keeping it moist without all the water evaporating in hours.
I want to start microgreens business in india , is the microgreens business profitable.
Not really.
But the important thing, that you didn't mention is, Will it get moldy if you it gets too much water. Stop beating around the grass and tell us.
Telling if you need to water your plant by how much IT WEIGHS is the definition of having a green thumb, or experience. Not "using your brain" 🤦♀️
So angry. 😮
you need to quit talking about overwatering !
I'll do this, but first... Make sure you don't overwater!
And yet another 22 minute video which could have been condensed into 2 minutes flat.
Another YouthTube farce
We don't care about your options
I apologize. I’ll try not to have them for now on! 😰
Where can I get a food safe tray like the one your using.
