Wow, that’s impressive! It must have taken you a while to get all of this info and write everything down to share with the rest of us. Thank you I, really appreciate it, it’s very useful!
Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens dude love you videos I’ve been growing for about 5-6 months and it’s no joke growing microgreens you have to put a lot of work into making your own business you should come to my grow operation I’d love your input I’m at 3 farmers market a health food store and two restaurants. And it’s been ruff run into a lot of freaking problems. I think controlling the environment is key to getting this shit right
Thanks to you and this local "farmer" and following what he does i DID IT!!!! They are beautiful. Thank you John and thanks to the farmer for sharing his ways.
This was an awesome video. You have reinforced the idea that you can do anything you put your mind to when you are passionate. Moreover, I like the fact that you explain some of the techniques to grow micro-greens effectively for ones self. I appreciate the video you made John. Keep inspiring the world.
Terrific video! Thank you so much! I also was motivated by watching your videos. I am just beginning to start microgreen growing myself. Wish me luck! I’ve always loved gardening and now have a beautiful third floor deck in my Center City Philadelphia townhouse, by following your motto: “keep on growing!“ It’s full of fruit trees and vegetables. But, I want to survive the winter without missing gardening, so I’m on to microgreens. Thank you so much for your inspiration, John!
You are the BEST!!! I have learned so much from you..... from cloning roses to all other stuff.... and now I am growing MGreens through City Hydro! You deserve a commission!!!
Hey John, I watched your growing greens channel 12 years ago when I changed my diet to get over health issues (you were building your beds at the time). More recently I came across your re-named channel, and have to say that it looks like you haven't aged! ... Me? I've aged about 12 years, but then I've not continued on with the super healthy lifestyle that you promote, although I do eat 'healthier' than the average person. Keep going - it's a pleasure to watch you and your abundant enthusiasm :)
so started at least 9 months ago and can get a crop every 7 to 14 days and it still looks like he is just now putting it together. I was in business and on a small farm and I believe he should be in full swing by now. I do have to say that the box to sell to the public with the greens in it is a great idea.
Outstanding! Really helpful and inspiring so I pray fast absolute success and prosperity to you both. Thanks a million for sharing. The generosity of heart of both of you deserves a hundred fold reward.
We can start creating sustainable home business and make 100K or more. Amazing idea. We need to support John and make him a millionaire so he can do more great vids like this that help all of us. Wondering how does he handle vacations being away from his microgreen business?
Shalom. Thank you so much for doing this video being very specific with details. I just started a couple of weeks ago. So far...doing well but needed the right materials for more microgreen settings. This been great.
Thank you for this video, because of this one I decided and just ordered my own shelf rack, once it'll arrive I'll get me a few florescent bulbs and will surely try to closed it off same as in this video. I appreciate what you're doing. Best health
Thank you so so much for this!! I am in awe that he uses per gram the same amount of seeds that I've seen other growers use on trays 2 times the size. Does he use about 20 grams for all of his small pans? If so, then how many grams does he use for a 10 x 20? I do like the density but curious about the number of grams it would take for a larger pan.
Great video John, very informative. This video has inspired me to start a small microgreen farm at home. What other seed companies would you reccomend besides mountain valley? Thanks for your help. Keep up the great content.
Phenomenal. I had a good idea what to do using some different types of trays and items but I actually prefer this. I plan on using many of these ideas. Great video
anyone notice how he nonchalantly open the door to someones house and strolled inside I was hoping someone was going to walk in and say "who are you?" as a joke. great video, thank you for the information you've provided us
How safe is the plastic in those trays? The roots next to the plastic, very wet, are the roots absorbing some toxins from the plastic tray, especially after repeated use of the trays, is it breaking down and the roots sucking up poisons?
I love this idea. I all in with filtering your own water as well. RO water is concerning though because it removes all the minerals. I would think that would reduce the mineral levels of the produce.
Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down at the bar next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stared up at the TV as the 10 o'clock news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building, preparing to jump. Alexandria looked at Jack and said, "Do you think he'll jump?” Jack said, "You know what, I bet he will.” Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won't.” Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, "You're on!” Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. She was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money.” Jack replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump.” Alexandria replied, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again.” Jack took the money. Alexandria went back to work in the U.S. Congress.
I should point out that Vegas recycles their water and an RO system will NOT remove any pharmaceuticals that get recycled. I too installed an under the counter RO system, only to wonder why the water still didn't taste quite right. Then I found out about the recycling. I went back to drinking bottled water and use the RO only for watering plants. (Not sure if the plants absorb them or not.) Now you can buy an electric distiller from Amazon that will give you pure water, but it takes around 5 hours to make a pot full, plus a lot of electricity. I did buy an atmospheric water system (Aquaboy) from Home Depot. It makes water from air by collecting water dripping from condensation on refrigeration tubes, and cycles it through various filters and uses UV lights to kill off any bacteria. The concept is sound, but it's not ideal for Las Vegas because of the ultra low humidity that it depends on. While it's rated at 6 gallons per day max, it can only produce 1 gallon per day here in Nevada. If you live by the coast it would be ideal.
Whick trays can i use that don't have chemicals in it? I dont want my greens to suck up that rubish in plastic. Pls help so i can start feeding my family healthy!
They should offer those trays in half sizes for markets....Only reason I suggest this is because you mentioned that he sold 1/2 a tray to one customer. I think people would be "apt" to trying more options for less of a price (new people looking to get into eating micro greens and don't want to buy too much and not like it and have to throw the rest away, more like "sampler" sizes) You could potentially charge more for buying less too, which in turn increases you're profits! Just an idea.
I am wondering what type of business expenses did you incur... insurance, health department licensing, permits or inspection, and/or costs at markets? I firmly believe not everyone would be as successful as you are because of you pay attention to the details which most people are not capable for whatever reason. I applaud your attention to detail! Great Video John! Rj - Beyond Harvest Veganistas
Yeah, that thought occurred to me too. Vegas doesn't seem very small-business friendly, with permits and licensing requirements up the wazoo. They require a permit for just about everything. I wanted to fill in my swimming pool as I never use it. You can't just fill it in with soil and start growing a lawn on it, needs a permit and it has to be jack-hammered into pieces, and inspected before and after filling. Replace your water heater (simple to do) - permit and inspection required. Put up a fence - permit and inspection. Paint the outside of your house - permit and inspection, (they know they can't enforce painting the inside of the house so they let it go). In our HOA, the paint color needs prior approval or they'll make you repaint if they don't like it. You also can't make major changes to your landscaping without prior approval.

It looks like those containers are not vented. I would think vented containers would extend the shelf life of the crop. I like the smaller tray size. Just need a clear lid for those trays and sell them like that.
I love this. So informative! Thank you. I will say for someone whose microgreens are my babies, I would be freaking a bit about the amount of touching the greens 😬
Hi John, good video! I have a couple of questions for you... First, with Dustin's Rack set-up did it have a thermostat inside the unit that is directly hard wired to the air conditioner so that it maintains a constant temperature of 70 degrees? And secondly, is the exhaust of the air conditioner being vented outside or inside?
He had a thermometer inside the rack, but the control on the AC unit was set to the constant temperature. It would not be hard to set up a thermometer to control the AC. The AC vents inside. This is from what I am aware/observed. He is renting, so he probably can vent to outside easily.
I started sprouting a couple months ago after binge watching many of John's vids. and I'm glad I did. Super easy and I'm working to set up a diy grow shelf for more growing. You should invest in a setup.
Good question. John did a walk-through with city-hydro and they have kits for you if interested. Range from 160-190. IMO, they're overpriced. The mark-up is around 300% more than what you can find by searching around. To get started you'd likely want: Source: www.city-hydro.com/product-page/microgreen-homekit Basic Microgreen Home Kit - - 1 White 18"x12"x3" FoodSafe Tray - 1 Germination Lid - 1 Hydro-Spacer (NO CLUE ON WHERE TO FIND THIS) - 1 15.75in Long (400mm) Tube LED Lamp and power supply - 1 50 ml cup - 1 Wire Shelf 18"x9"x9" - 8 Coco Fiber Pads (substrate) - MicroGreen Seeds you prefer - 1 Water Spray Bottle, 24 oz.
Absolutely brilliant!!! What kind of plant is the one in the watering example with the pink stems? Is that a raddish or beet variety? Those are so lovely💗🥬
49:45,PMSL* !!! had to set down my beer from the "John's Basically Game", and laugh uncontrollably at the thought of a 1/2" rc crop duster plan being flown over a micro greens tray "inside" in order to crop dust it.... Thumb and a finger to the forehead bud! lmao
can you do a vid on underground farming? i think these types of farms are popular on high plant destruction risk areas/environments..hurricane zones..tornado zones..cold areas? or urban areas? where there is little space..
Like guerrilla growing. There are some non cannabis videos on RUclips. A guy doing pawpaw. I've done indigenous wild Florida black berry. Didn't video it .... maybe I'll start a channel for ya ;)
I agree, leaching a concern. Also i went on a search for best price for a roll of the coco coir mat. Made in Sri Lanka as John has mentioned. Coco coir and 'natural rubber'. What? natural rubber. Wonder where that's sourced and of what. Natural is an allowable marketing term to sway attention. How much leaches in that purified water? Also i wouldn't think tossing the used once coconut coir mat into compost pile a good thing either until proven safe.
New this idea of growing micro greens. What is the deal on preventing various bacteria lading to sickness from improperly raised micro greens. Any precautions necessary and if so where is a good source to use as a guide do you know?

The Sam’s Club in my area throws those racks out back once they’ve sold the plants on them. They let me have several for free!
Nice tip. Thank you.
😳🤗😁awesome wow! Thank you for that incredible heads up!
Do you ask for those racks, or do you just take them because you see them unprotected?
@@waveoflight always ask. They're never going to say no and they might have more for you.
I love this guy such great energy!
Yeahhhh ,,, hes amazing !!!! HE LOVES gardening ,.,.. can feel his excitement !!!! I dooo tooo
Great video John. You definetly have inspire me. I can't wait to start growing a garden and micro-greens. Keep up the good work.

Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm.
He sat down at the bar next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stared up at the TV as the 10 o'clock news came on.
The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building, preparing to jump.
Alexandria looked at Jack and said, "Do you think he'll jump?”
Jack said, "You know what, I bet he will.”
Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won't.”
Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, "You're on!”
Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.
She was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money.”
Jack replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump.”
Alexandria replied, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again.”
Jack took the money. Alexandria went back to work in the U.S. Congress.
If she had her way, Jack would be taxed 70% on his winnings. Jack would've walked away with $9. 😁
I store my seeds in glass jars with sprinkle lids!! Came with nifty wooden racks.
I should point out that Vegas recycles their water and an RO system will NOT remove any pharmaceuticals that get recycled. I too installed an under the counter RO system, only to wonder why the water still didn't taste quite right. Then I found out about the recycling. I went back to drinking bottled water and use the RO only for watering plants. (Not sure if the plants absorb them or not.)
Now you can buy an electric distiller from Amazon that will give you pure water, but it takes around 5 hours to make a pot full, plus a lot of electricity.
I did buy an atmospheric water system (Aquaboy) from Home Depot. It makes water from air by collecting water dripping from condensation on refrigeration tubes, and cycles it through various filters and uses UV lights to kill off any bacteria.

While it's rated at 6 gallons per day max, it can only produce 1 gallon per day here in Nevada. If you live by the coast it would be ideal.
You could collect the water from your ac, that is distilled water.
would be nice if someone did a DIY video on making the racks and sitting up everything

It looks like those containers are not vented. I would think vented containers would extend the shelf life of the crop. I like the smaller tray size. Just need a clear lid for those trays and sell them like that.
I dont think he wants to sell his trays. I think he wants to reuse them. He has those to-go clear non-plastic trays to give to customers
When do you use the trays with holes and the trays without holes ?
What do u wrap seeds in to germinate seeds
I love this. So informative! Thank you. I will say for someone whose microgreens are my babies, I would be freaking a bit about the amount of touching the greens 😬
Yay, another exciting episode :)
Thank you, I have hope to grow food in Vegas!!!
Hi John, good video! I have a couple of questions for you... First, with Dustin's Rack set-up did it have a thermostat inside the unit that is directly hard wired to the air conditioner so that it maintains a constant temperature of 70 degrees? And secondly, is the exhaust of the air conditioner being vented outside or inside?
He had a thermometer inside the rack, but the control on the AC unit was set to the constant temperature. It would not be hard to set up a thermometer to control the AC. The AC vents inside. This is from what I am aware/observed. He is renting, so he probably can vent to outside easily.
Thank you very much John for responding...@@growingyourgreens
How does he bottom water when he just starts to introduce the microgreens to the light? Is it good/possible to pull it up like you did here?
That’s awesome and informational video. Thank you so much.
I want to grow this for my own use in case the food supply suffers when this epidemic gets worst.
I started sprouting a couple months ago after binge watching many of John's vids. and I'm glad I did. Super easy and I'm working to set up a diy grow shelf for more growing. You should invest in a setup.
Are microgreens grown under lights as nutritious as growing them outside in natural light.
your vids rule dude [: & this is an awesome setup [:!
Keep up the great work!!! Thanks for it all!!!
Amazing set-up
What do I do if I want to grow some micro greens and or baby greens very small scale , just for me and my 2 roomies
Good question. John did a walk-through with city-hydro and they have kits for you if interested. Range from 160-190.
IMO, they're overpriced. The mark-up is around 300% more than what you can find by searching around.
To get started you'd likely want:

Thank you and God bless you
Absolutely brilliant!!! What kind of plant is the one in the watering example with the pink stems? Is that a raddish or beet variety? Those are so lovely💗🥬
Great video John. And a follow-up in another year would be fantastic. ⭐️👏🏻
Awesome video. Perfect information. Thanks!
Don't forget to factor in electricity cost for lighting and environmental maintenance.
Hi, Thank you for all the info you shared! I'd like to know the size of the trays. Height as well. Thank you!
Would love to see an update on this guy!
Where do you got all kinds of micro green seeds!?
Is a business license , health permit, sellers permit, producers permit for Vegas needed? Cant seem to find the answers. Thank you.
49:45,PMSL* !!! had to set down my beer from the "John's Basically Game", and laugh uncontrollably at the thought of a 1/2" rc crop duster plan being flown over a micro greens tray "inside" in order to crop dust it.... Thumb and a finger to the forehead bud! lmao
Are such trays available in amazon?
Thank you
Did you run into the bushes!? Lol great video. Such enthusiasm.
Do you have to pay tax on the greens and are your domestic bills. count as expenses?
is that the best water filter for a well? will it remove good things that would help the greens?
Do you have any videos or suggestions on how to market this? How to start a business?
Face all in the basil 😆 😆 😆
Great video... Big fan of them
hello my freen happy new year
I can not find the lights you are using. Can you help me. Great Video and Thanks
I didnt see any mention of electrical costs on a portable AC unit @70f + grow lights.
Its no where near 20% of 130k
Get a solar panel to help reduce that cost
can you do a vid on underground farming? i think these types of farms are popular on high plant destruction risk areas/environments..hurricane zones..tornado zones..cold areas? or urban areas? where there is little space..
Like guerrilla growing. There are some non cannabis videos on RUclips. A guy doing pawpaw. I've done indigenous wild Florida black berry. Didn't video it .... maybe I'll start a channel for ya ;)
How much does he sell the different sizes for???????????????????
I'm watching and waiting for prices!!!!!!!!!
Can I do this same thing in a 5x5 grow tent ? Can I get some consulting with you ?
How do you build the doors ?
Not sure if I put any stock in the grow lights, since the trays are getting sunlight from the window.
Curious or how much better it is to use filtered /ro water since most ro units have pvc and plastics that can leach out into the water still
I agree, leaching a concern. Also i went on a search for best price for a roll of the coco coir mat. Made in Sri Lanka as John has mentioned. Coco coir and 'natural rubber'. What? natural rubber. Wonder where that's sourced and of what. Natural is an allowable marketing term to sway attention. How much leaches in that purified water? Also i wouldn't think tossing the used once coconut coir mat into compost pile a good thing either until proven safe.
Can you please share the reverse osmosis water filtration unit?
I would love how to do this! I'm in Phoenix, is there anywhere I can go to learn from someone?

New this idea of growing micro greens. What is the deal on preventing various bacteria lading to sickness from improperly raised micro greens. Any precautions necessary and if so where is a good source to use as a guide do you know?
What type of AC unit is this, and where can I get them?
