We grow chia microgreens from the seeds we buy at the Sprouts grocery store. They germinate well and taste very good to us. Otherwise, we use chia seeds to make pudding. Greens or pudding? We can't decide which we like better. Fortunately, there are no chia police so we can have both. The seeds have an excellent shelf life, too.
Lol, I love this message! I think both are great options!! Yeah, we still have some Chia seed from this experiment and they seem to be doing great!
i wonder if i put them in the dark or shade of light or in the oven without turn on?
@@TrangLe-dp8jf Oven should work well or most dark places like a closet. Some people put them in an empty dishwasher.
That was interesting. You should try chia with regular water vs a nutrient solution. I love these experiments :-)
Thank you so much Dante for the support! We will add that to our list to try out!
In did a little test of store bought chai seeds that were well past their use by date. To my surprise I had a fantastic rate of germination! Never grown them before!
That's so awesome! What a great way to avoid wasting them!
Thank you 🙏🏿 ☺️so much for doing this informative experiment on chia seeds. I was just about to start sprouting this week along with flax . I’m going to continue to watch your channel for more tips.
I bought chia seeds to soak and use in drinks. Never ended up using them so this year I decided to plant them in the front yard. They’re growing well and from what I can see online, they create pretty purple flowers :)
Looks awesome !
My daughter and I sprout bulk store bought chia seeds in clay garden saucers and eat them like alfalfa sprouts. They don’t develop that bitter taste until they photosynthesize. We think they’re best grown in the dark and eaten at 3 to 4 days. They’re great with hummus, pita, & tzatziki! I might have to try the coconut water with our method! We keep chia on hand in our food storage. Thanks for sharing!
Is there a video anywhere on RUclips showing how to do it in your method? Also, do you think the nutrition value will be the same?
Love those experiments. Similar i have in mind and crashed up here looking for references. Helps beginners like me! Legends! Cool working station! 😊
Thank you so much!! We're so glad that you found this of value and we hope to continue creating content like this! We really appreciate the support!
I love your videos thanks for all the tips
Great video! Thanks guys ! :D
Thank you so much for the support!!
Very cool! Yeah the coconut water probably spoiled since it wasn't refrigerated.
Thanks
Thank you for the support 🤗🌱🌱
they taste good added to hot water- in things like soups and cooked with rice
Great video! Does anyone know if you can eat the leaves of the mature chia plant?
I just used organic chia ,my first microgrow
champion!
wow!! Can you tell me what medium did you use?
No coconut water as it has sugar. Natural sugar. Plants don't need sugar but nice experiment none the less.
Yeah, this was a bit of a silly test that we just wanted to see how it turns out :)
What are you using for the medium
What medium did you use though?
Hey guys, certainly worth the challenge to grow Chia. By the way what is the style of knife you are using to harvest your micro greens
We will be bringing some Chia back in the future hopefully! We are using a knife called a "Produce Knife"! Here is a link to one similar in price!

I've always wondered if I could use the chia seeds from Sprouts and now I know! LOL! Just curious, but can you pretty much sprout any seed and eat it? Are there any that would not be safe to consume as sprouts?
Great question! Yes you can sprout just about anything and eat it, but you want to do some research on the plant and see if it safe to eat😋. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants are in the nightshade family and the greens aren’t good to eat... some varieties can be quite toxic so be careful about what you grow! A lot of the seed companies have sections for microgreens so you can see what seeds they offer and you can look for it locally! Check out some sites like sprouting.com, trueleafmarket.com and Johnnyseeds.com. Look in the microgreen sections for ideas! 🌱🌱
Great videos!
are chia microgreens healthier or more nutritive than chia seeds?
please let me know!
Thank you so much for the support Martin! I am not sure exactly for Chia seeds... There are tons of studies that show that microgreens can be much healthier than the Adult or sprout version of the same plants. Wish I could be more help on this one... Sprouting.com has a lot of information about the health benefits of microgreens and sprouts!
Have you tried using the coconut water with sprouting anything else?
We have not yet because it just smelled so bad from our first experiment... The one in this video was perishable really fast after opening, so maybe a different brand might work better. We will see about giving this another try!
I do it all the time with Bob's red Mill chia seeds and it works fine.
I have never grown chia not from the grocery store so it sounds like I need to try it from a greens supplier. What are your favorite seed companies?
We have used three different seed companies so far and all have worked great! Trueleafmarket.com, Johnnyseeds.com and Sprouting.com are all the sources we've tried so far... Hope that helps!
have you had any mold problems and come up with a way to avoid that? i'm looking for tips
I grow Chia Seeds for my quail. They eat the whole thing. Do you have animals to feed the roots? Chickens would totally benefit from them especially now with prices of feed is going up.
shes the first person im seeing who is saying to thumbs down 🥺🥺
THE HONESTY HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘🤩🤗
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! As long as the information we present helps one person, we are happy! 😊❤️
Chia pet tray!!
Lol! Yes!!
I was really impressed with your coconut water experiment.
I sell Chia, Quinoa, Flax and Pumpkin on Amazon in India.
Thanks for sharing
That’s so great and thank you! We have quite a few followers from India who are getting into microgreens so I am sure that will translate to sales through your products eventually! Thank you for the support!
How did you choose not to add weight on top of the seeds during germination?
Really it was a lot of trials. When we get a new batch of seed in, we test it in several ways such as with weight, without weight, under soil, ontop of soil and so on to determine what might work best for that particular seed batch!
can you share the supplier of the seeds?
hi guys, another really great video. At the 55secs mark you said the seeds were x@#**x@#%$@!! what does that mean and why wont they require to be weighted.
haha "Musilangnous" that means that the seeds get a sticky, mucus like coating when wet. We've since changed how we grow these types of seeds, no we do add weight but not 15lbs. Just an empty tray to add pressure and help get even germination.
Can any one explain which seeds you stack and put weight on and which ones are not? What are the criteria for stacking?
Check out this section on our website and it tells you for each seed that we had listed so far.
www.onthegrow.net/growing-guide
If you view it on a computer it will have a reference for what ET, W and BO mean.
The weight is to help you get more even germination, more delicate crops only need an empty tray as they can not handle 15lbs of pressure.
Does it taste different than using your regular seeds?
We believe that it tastes very similar to using seeds from a major seed vendor... We didn't really love the taste of Chia though, it can be quite intense.
Can someone help me explain the word she used to describe what the chia seeds are? "I tried sounding it out "Me-so-lag-e-nuss"
Mucilaginous! Weird one 😆🌱🌱
unicorn sighting
🦄😄🌱🌱
I wonder how they would have grown with the oceans water?
We could give that a try!
The white substrate? What is it?
Biostrate, a hydroponic growing medium made from plants. Works great, but isn’t as biodegradable as the company claims. Needs an industrial composting facility to break it down, so we moved away from it.
They regrow after harvest? No video i seen talks about this
Yeah! Some crops will regrow after harvest... Peas are a good example of a crop that does this! You will notice a diminishing return though when you regrow them.
@@OnTheGrow i searched on Google :)
Wait, why aren't you using weight? I have never heard that word you used before lol. But I'm very new to this.
"We aren't using weight because the seeds are *misellagenous*. I probably butchered that spelling."
By the way, I LOVE your grow space. What a cool use of a trailer. I'm a recovering clinical laboratory scientist and have become more and more interested in hydroponics. This is all of the things I love about lab science, but without any of the mess that we call the US healthcare industry. I just started my first 5 small seed trays today (Just some arugala seeds, dried lentils, and chia seeds I had in the pantry. We'll see how it goes!). My next crops will be Shiso (friends with a private sushi chef), Sunflower, and
Right now, I'm growing my first (America's favorite) herb in DWC. While that's in the works, I'm getting hooked on learning about sprouts and microgreens! This is what's drawing me in: the quick turnaround time to harvest, the low energy consumption (these LED bulbs don't consume too much I imagine), the low nutrient/water requirements, the ability to use cheap grow medium (sand is free in HI, but I think I'll splurge on the coco). I'll bet your biggest cost are the seeds (or maybe the coir- I see you've switched to that).
Your space reminds me of the lab----well, it is a lab! And I love how you folks are constantly conducting experiments to improve your crop. Definitely inspiring me to create my own operation. But, I'll start with growing greens to feed my family first!
So many question: maybe you have addressed in a video:
Is your trailer climate controlled?
What type of water do you use? Tap, filtered, Reverse Osmosis?
Have you (or would you) release a video on your monthly maintenance costs (including electricity, water, consumables (seeds, grow medium))?
Kudos and Thank you!
Okay, back to binging your videos!
Add seaweed to the water for nutrients.
A little seaweed, a little urine, a tiny bit of wood ash, and a little Epsom salts equals really good plant food.
What do you using for the growing material?
Thank you for watching Kostya Dombrovskyy!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! Actually, for this experiment we used biostrate!
@@OnTheGrow Thanks!
😀 Kostya Dombrovskyy Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website...
www.onthegrow.net ...we are so proud of the help it provides!!!
I tried growing microgreens from store bought chia seeds. They turned out SO bitter. It was like chewing on an aspirin. What can cause this?
I just saw a video about growing popcorn microgreens, and their first batch came out really fibrous and harsh tasting. They solved it by growing them in complete darkness and harvesting them earlier - this might work for your chia too.
Funny, we just made a video about corn being in the light versus the dark! We will have to try that with Chia! Thanks for sharing!! 🤗🌱🌱
Cool, hope it works!
TV Ad meme: "Ch ch ch CHIA !"
Hey, who remembers chia pets from the 1970's ? How about the Mr. T bust with the Chia FRO ? 😂
I never knew they were even edible.
p.s. Yeah, coconut water bad for bottom watering ... the sugar content makes it a grow medium for bacteria. I coulda predicted that fail.
LMAO 😂
ruclips.net/video/WAz91k63Q9c/видео.html
What the reasoning you don’t stack Chia, What is the word that was being used ?
They become super sticky when you water them and will stick too much to the trays. Here's the word:
mucilaginous g.co/kgs/1DZQfGr
Opposed to what their seeds would it matter as long as they’re Uncooked they should all grow
I've had good luck using diluted sodas with sugar and caffeine.
🙂Thank you so much for the Feedback A Spit of Mud! We appreciate your support!
When are you going to make cannabis micro greens?
hahaha oh gosh
so stopped video at roughly 2 minutes to comment on the "coconut water" as a nutrient. I had a 30 year career as an artisan cheese maker and off the top my head first thing that came to mind "post pasteurization contamination" leading to potential "food borne illness". Pathogens grow at the same temperature that your seeds grow at so you need to be careful when consuming the sprouts fed with another consumer food. That being said, curious to see how the coconut water works as a nutrient
Yeah the coconut water ended up smelling horrible after a day or two, so we threw that project out! Thanks for sharing your expertise too!! Happy growing 🌱🌱
@@OnTheGrow curious as to what temperature you target for your sprouting room?
Summertime we aim for 75F-80F and winter 70F-75F to save on electricity.
Chia is very good for Russian Tortoise.
That is great to know, thank you for sharing!!
Uh oh, next they will be using Gatorade... It's what plants crave.
Lol, the coconut water got nasty quick. I'd be interested in seeing Gatorade though... Colored sugar water might make for some interesting grows :)
What a waist 20,000 people die of starvation a day and you are wasting food #sad
Wow… we’ve taught hundreds of thousands of people to grow their own produce… A lot of keyboard warriors out there who contribute nothing to society other than #lame comments.
