no he said 5 seconds every hour in the video, DO NOT MIST FOR 5 MINUTES EVERY HOUR!!!!!!! that is wayyyyyyyy more then needed, 5-10 seconds IS PERFECTTTT, they do not need a lot of water........... using too much water will drastically increase the chance of mold growth.
That's great!. Did you had any problem with mold afterwards? I tried growing in trays and just misting it manually, but I had some issues with molding. So I switched back to growing in bottles where I could shake the seeds in the new water, so it's mechanically cleaned
It shouldn't be a problem if you're growing daily. However, if you stop for a period of time you should make sure everything is washed and dried to prevent molding.
M G I don’t see why not. I only added it because some of the seeds I was using were very small and the holes in the trays were too big. Ideally, if you could find trays with smaller holes that would be better.

This is so cool! What a clever setup 🤩
Thanks so much!
Good job Cole!!👏 Quick and to the point!! Thank you for all the fantastic info!!🫡 Wishing you all the success in the world. 🤗👍

Do they pull out of the mesh easily or do you have to scrub them to get them clean?
They come out quite easily!
For your timed cycles you turn on the water misting for 5 minutes every hour?
Yes

do you have a cover on the bin?
I don’t use a cover because the misters are pointed down, although it wouldn’t hurt to use one if you wish.
How do you get hulls off.
Mary Spear I don’t usually remove the hulls, but if you want to you just need to soak the sprouts in cool water and the hulls with float to the top.
Dang this is impressive. I just use a plastic bag…
That works too!
Thanks for this. You didn't mention what you used as the mesh.
I used the window screen mesh. You can get it at Home Depot.
@@colekraus Ok thanks. I wonder what I could use that would be food safe?
M G I don’t see why not. I only added it because some of the seeds I was using were very small and the holes in the trays were too big. Ideally, if you could find trays with smaller holes that would be better.

Do you still use this today?
I don't, but I am working on a more advanced system right now. I will post a video when it's done. Thanks for the comment.
👍
I think I'm going to have to ask you to marry me now hehehe :P
