Sunflowers are everyone's favorite in my little circle of friends. A tip for trimming the shoots off the tray: Get your face down level with your blade and I think you'll find better accuracy, and less soil of whatever media you use. I've had moisture just under the canopy of my sunflowers in the winter time. I rub the tops twice daily to control that, and of course a bunch of hulls will pop off at the same time.

Glad to hear they tasted about the same because I have a lot of gray striped seeds and no black oil. I thought the regular sunflower seeds looked better than the black oil in your test, and the difference between the two in final weight is very small.

Hey here's what I'd like to see more videos on: how to get good results growing in biostrate. I have had pretty mediocre results and I know from some of your older videos you mentioned you had to dial in your methods to get good results in hydroponic mediums. But I don't think you ever shared those tips, please do!!!
🙂Thank you so much for the support Jenn W!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 We dialed in to using primarily Coco coir for our crops...because of the need for consistency in our recipe book.
I will say that you don't have to grow these in a UV closet. Sunflowers are one of those plants (a cousin to the humble dandelion) that can grow inside. And because you are harvesting them after only a couple weeks, you can grow a bunch in little cups on whatever window sill you want to use!
Nice comparison test! My question is why is the word OIL in the name “black OIL sunflower”?? Any ideas? I also want to say that I learned something. I am a hobbyist grower, and I never knew that the leaves after the cotyledons are called “true leaf”. So that explains the name of “True Leaf Market”. Anyway, I hope someone will post about why “OIL” is in the name of “black OIL sunflowers”. Thanks!

I saw a report passed around on Facebook that if given their choice, almost all birds prefer the black oil seeds to any other seed. Hence, many people in my bird watcher group only used black oil sunflower seeds in their bird feeders.
I swear I watched like 50 of their videos before realizing they were saying "Seed hulls", I was trying to figure out where the holes were in/on the seeds. I pronounce "Hulls" like the "u" in "uh". They pronounce the "u" like "oh". lol, maybe this will help someone else.

Hey there! I have a daikon radish micro question. I'm having the same issue with moisture on the cotyledons even though I have only bottom-watered, and they seem to be slightly curled downward, as well. I'm using a coir mixture and using a 3-light LED system (I'm small potatoes as of now :)). I grew some without the addition of light a couple of weeks ago, and they did not make it beyond about 1 1/2". These new ones are closer to 4-5" and super spicy! I'm also growing clover along side and not seeing any moisture on them at all. I was thinking maybe I need a dehumidifier? I do not have a fan blowing on them either. Whacha think it might be? I'm glad you did this comparison, because I do want to grow sunflower next. Thanks! 😊

Isn't the significant difference here the number of seeds? Sounds like you used the same weight which seems like it would mean that the quantity of black oil seeds was higher. Sure looks that way when you visually compare the piles. I wonder what the results would be if you counted out the number of seeds and matched on that. Since seeds are sold by weight (I currently see the same price per pound for regular vs black oil on TrueLeafMarket.com), it could turn out black oil produce more simply because you get more seeds for the same money/weight. If seed prices and comparison were per seed I bet the regular would win.
🙂Thank you so much for the support Aaron Molnar!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 You're properly onto something...the black oil weigh less per seed!!!

It's luck of the draw really... I can't remeber for this batch specifically cause it's been a few years. I remeber we were mostly getting smaller seeds for a while, so it's likely the smaller ones. As long as you deal in volume or weight, seed size shouldn't matter too much. Just make sure you use around 150grams of seed for sunnies. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱

Guys do yoy think what factors in microgreen height? Have done few trays, but unlike what I saw in your vid or fb groups, which is tall, mine is short for almost all of the trays. Do seeds play important role?
There’s a reason they are so cheap! We contacted some of the suppliers for the wild bird seeds and they said “they do not advise them to be used for human consumption”. The main reason they stated is that there are no regulations for what the seeds are treated with. When seeds are used for human consumption, they have to meet certain regulations, and the wild-bird feed has none of that. Microgreens are expected to be consumed in large quantities, so if there is some poison or anything unsafe about the seed, it is going to be consumed in high quantity and very shortly after germination. Personally, we would never eat the microgreens from wild-bird feed and it would likely be very illegal to sell microgreens grown from wild-bird feed. There are people out there who use wild-bird seed and say there’s no issues, but they have never had their produce tested... I am strongly against doing anything that puts another persons health at risk. Microgreens are supposed to be healthy, so use safe and healthy seeds! You can also contact that individual brand and tell them you want to eat the seeds and see what they say...

You are probably correct! Dwarf just refers to the size of the fully grown plant. Thank you so much for the Feedback agauerm! We appreciate your support!
So now we have small black oil seeds. Does that mean they would yield a more dense harvest with small cotyledons?
I have problem when it's growing up. And ready to harvest the black cover stuck in the top. Any ideas please?
If you cut off the extra length you have to re-calculate your weight
You are correct! Both would need to be cut though because they were both longer than what we prefer so it would even out if we cut them the same...
Can all sunflowers seeds from other varieties be grown as micro greens?
Is your regular sunflower seed Russian Mammoth?
I am confused by how many types there really are people use to make micrograms.
Thank you.
