How to Grow Sunflower Microgreens | Full Walkthrough with TIPS & TRICKS | On The Grow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- 🌻 This is our comprehensive step-by-step guide for growing Black Oil Sunflower Microgreens! This video is packed with invaluable Tips & Tricks to ensure your success. Sunflower microgreens are incredibly popular, but they can pose challenges. Over the years, we've learned that adjusting grow methods for different seed batches is often necessary. In this tutorial, we demonstrate the complete process, from seeding to harvest, using Coco coir as the growing medium. While we've since discovered a no-soak method, where seeds are planted directly, it's important to note that soaking may still be needed for easy hull shedding. Check out our other videos for more on the no-soak method. Let's dive into the world of vibrant Black Oil Sunflower Microgreens! 🌱✅

The most specified, intricate, meticulous, detailed way on growing a sunflower microgreens.
My notification Bell was not wasted.
We are honored by your feedback. Thank you for watching and supporting us, glad we didn't waste that bell! :D
@@OnTheGrow How do u measure the fresh air circulation needed for healthy growth in such an enclosed environment?
This was so insanely informative and definitely was the easiest to follow. I love how you went start to finish all the way. Talk about stress relief. Love y’all for this!
hey i tested something and got nice results: when u grow sunflowers like u grow ur popcorn greens (aka no light at all) they sorta maintain more of their nutty/sweet sunflowerseed taste when they reach day 7/8/9 - they also buildup less tanins it seems (that stuff that sticks to ur teeth/tongue and is unpleasant) 😊
Yes!! Sunflower Blondies! We were going to do a video on those last year and never got around to it... we will have to give this a shot this week! Thank you for the suggestion and sharing your results!
I'll have to try this thanks for the input 🙂🙏
@@piercec5688 they actually made a video about them somewhat recently

Great work, you 2 are great and I wish you great things. Even though you make money I know you do it for the passion an health factor Since I went natural and left today's food I've lost 100lbs and saved my life.
That’s incredible Jon!! We do it because we love helping others find the means to grow for themselves either for personal reasons or business! So amazing the weight you’ve dropped… seriously awesome to be able to tackle that challenge! We wish you continued great health!! 🤗🌱🌱
Glad Britta found her place and passion within the microgreens Community.
Why on earth would anyone do a thumbs down? You're a great teacher - very patient - thank you. The crop looks lovely so healthy and vibrant. I love sunflower sprouts. Yum
Awww, thank you!! We really appreciate your support and kind words! Sunflowers are so good, we put some in our smoothie this morning!
This video and others produced by this young lady and her partner are all you need to know to grow microgreens.
All the others out there miss important steps in their presentation, but not this team. They nail it every time! Thank you.
I have been using colloidal silver in my spray. The research on it is amazing.
Thank you for such terrific educational videos. I just discovered you guys yesterday, and have been binge watching your channel since.
Sunflower sprouts are one of my favorites as well, and yes, I too love them on PBJ. Wish I lived close enough to be a customer.
I never knew sunnies were so finicky to grow; I learned so much from your presentation.
Love your setup, your vibe, and your enthusiastic generosity.
I'm excited for your Farmer's Market possibilities, and wish you all the best in your endeavors. I will remain a subscriber.
awh yay!!! We're happy to hear that, thank you for subscribing and watching our videos.
Sunflower microgreens are so amazing tasting but can some times be tricky haha. But they're so worth growing. Also happy to hear someone else who knows about PBJ and microgreens!! 🥳🥳🥳
2tbsp in one liter food grade h202. Is that 35 percent food grade?
if you eat sprouts with bread you can't absorb the nutrients in them. gluten prevents nutrient absorption and it also neutralizes stomach acid.
Thank you so much for your "Full Walk-throughs" with the microgreens! I am on Day 3 with my Sunflower seeds on top of Coco Coir in a Sprouting Tray, and they look just like yours!! (I soaked them for 8 hours, and am using the hydrogen peroxide spray on them.) I'm excited to try these for the first time in the next week!!
It's now day 4, & I've got them in Blackout for 2 days! The lights come out tomorrow!! Exciting!!
So, are you hooked on sunflower microgreens yet? Have you tried them dipped in chocolate yet? We also have more recipes coming in our first cookbook to be ready very soon! 😀 Joanne Donovan Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website...

Excellent video. You've motivated me to get of the procrastination syndrome. Thanks and keep up the great work. To on the grow mediums..stay well u guys 🥂
Awesome video! Make sure if you follow the steps in this video that you are using the same trays and coconut coir. I made the simple mistake of following these steps with soil and I rotted my roots. Live and learn
🙂Thank you so much for the Feedback A R! We appreciate your support! Sad to hear of your lost crops...Coco Coir really is our main go to in most all we grow!
I have a ton of appreciation for you guys. Every time i need a seeding weight i always watch these videos.
Thank you. I should just start writing them down...
Maybe by chance you have a spreadsheet of this information???

Another very informative video. Thank you! I've been growing sunflower greens for quite a while - love their nutty flavor - and still learned a few tricks. I especially noted how you just mist the bottom tray while in the blackout period instead of adding water. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for the continued support Thomas!! We really appreciate it and we are happy to hear this was helpful!
Following your tutorial on growing sunflowers (I started soaking the seeds just now). I watch your channel everyday and starting to experiment while under lockdown. Thanks for all of your videos for keeping me motivated to learn more. I'm in Manila, Philippines and looking to maybe one day do this full time when I return to Canada.
Gr8! Fantastic video lesson on the sunflower. Very detailed and precisely done. Shall keep following You regularly. Sam from India.
Well due to medical issues I have not grown any sunflower sprouts in so long, like during the entire pandemic so far. I miss them!! After finding out I have a complete heart block and having to get emergency surgery for a pacemaker then not being able to hold any food down finally on March 4th 2021 they had to put a balloon in and open up my stomach. It was closed at the bottom of my esophagus only allowing what is equal to a leaky faucet or a drip to go through I can finally eat food!! And boy have I eaten lots of it in a week, but I really wanted my sunflower sprouts back!! I had to watch this video again to make sure I didn't forget anything and tomorrow I will be seeding my trays! I can't wait!! Thank you for making it easy for people like me, no green thumb!
🙂Thank you so much for the support!! It really means a lot to us Melanie White! I just started some recipes using Sunflower microgreens...you'd love them I bet!!!
Amazing process guide, easy detail and a Beautiful Lady to enjoy the show !! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌱🌱
Amazing videos. I just started a indoor walk in tent microgreen garden because of your videos. I made my wife watch this video w me. Thanks!
I love that you do the seed weight and then the microgreen weight!
Thank you so much for the support! We do our best to help out with data where we can!
I love you guys. You have very competent business acumen and your transparency is inspiring
Thank you so much for the support Nick! That really means a lot to us! We do our best to help everyone get started with this!
@@OnTheGrow have you guys been successful moving your business online given lockdowns in certain states? Will farmers markets happen this year? And if they do what advice do you have for being successful at those? I have a strong sales background but have no idea how to register at a farmers market or what the culture will be like. Id like to make a good first impression! If you have any practical advice for me, itd be greatly appreciated. Ill keep sharing your videos!
Maybe i missed it in the other videos, but could you tell us a little bit about your growenvironment:
- what is the average temperature you are aiming for in your grow room?
- whats the average humidity?
And how do you ensure, that it stays at that levels?
- air conditioner?
- exhaust air unit?
Thank you very much for your stunning videos. Yours are the best about microgreens!!!
Hello! Yes so we have a video that shows our grow space and I believe we talk about it.
We keep our grow space between 75-80F and the humidity 50% or below.
Is regulated by a ac/heat unit that's installed, and a dehumidifier. Currently since it's getting colder outside we also have a portable heater that's also set to 71F to help maintain it better.
Plus we have a giant fan located in the front center of the room that helps circulate the air along with the fans on each shelf.
Thank you so much!, We really appreciate it and your support 😀
Is that light bad for your eyes?
@@johnflynn2109 No! It's not very bright. I still wouldn't recommenced directly looking at it though, cause like all lights it will cause strain on your eyes. But we never stare at them. There are some LED panel lights, like the red and blue spectrum that its best to wear glasses that are made for being around them because they're really bright.
I always grew sunflower microgreens with wheat grass for my roommate's cat. Never thought to do it for myself!
You're amazing! I'm learning a lot, hope one day I'll be able to make my own micro greens. Many many thanks for your generosity.
Thank you so much for the support! They are so much fun to grow and addictive once you taste them!
Hi, thank you for the great video! I folow the channel since last november and I’m growing sunflowers since last month. I took some samples to a restourant and now I have an order of 1kg of sunflower Microgreens a day!
Absolutely i’m going to use this guide to improuve my harvast.
Thank you so much for the support Gustavo, we really appreciate it! That's amazing!! Glad to hear of your success! That's amazing, Congratulations!
Such a thorough description of each stage of the process. Thankyou!
Awesome Video, very well constructed, and very informational. Only three things I do differently. 1)I only spray the Food Grade Hydrogen peroxide on Day 1, thats it.. 2) I don't use Fans, because if a batch does catch mold I find it spreads the mold spores to the other Trays. 3 I never Spray from the top after the germination process, because I find that when you do from the top and not the bottom, it promotes mold. This is only my methods. If it works for you, Awesome.
How do you bottom water after germination and before roots can reach water without overwatering the entire tray?
@@kricketkitty I personally just add enough to look enough, if that makes sense. The Dirt/Coco mats will only take up what it can hold.
I m going to design and fabricate some metal frames and trays for my little family "miracle farm" project . Who knows this gets serious.
Very instructive. Thank you. What happens to the coconut growth-media afterwards?
Like that seed hulls brushing trick.
It works really well for the stubborn ones! It’s best to get them off during germination just using the weight, but the brushing is a great tool! 🤗🌱🌱
Thank You so much. You are so unselfish. Hope You prosper 100 fold
Hi CJ n Mandi, your programs are absolutely awesome with good educationally quality. Thank you so very much for all your devotion. We're going to be planting sunflower seeds tomorrow. One question which is foxing us at the moment is, do we soak all varieties of sunflower seeds prior to planting?
We took to sprouting and micro greens and are thrilled with the results. Also tomorrow, we will be tasting our very first sprouting of Red Clover and White Clover. Can't describe our excitement! Many thanks again. Sending greetings from Australia, Gill 🦘🐨
I saw you had a book out. Maybe y’all could do another one with recipes from the restaurants you service and your audience. Just a thought. Love your videos. I’ve learned so much from the sweat of y’all’s brows. Haha. Sincerely, thank you for sharing.
Wow!! Such a sweet instructor!! I like you. 😍
Do you have a video for other microgreen types?
If not, please do for another microgreen. 🙏
I appreciate this. I have always struggled with a healthy stray of sunflower. Going to try today
We appreciate you watching our videos! 😀 Sunflowers can be tricky, but you'll figure them out!
Good video. You say washing shortens shelf life and I’ve heard people say this but is not true. Soaking and washing the crop increases turgid pressure in the cells keeping the the plants from going limp. The biggest complaint from customers is that the stems go limp but after Washing the shelf life is at least 3-4 days longer than no wash. The only thing is that after washing, the crop needs to be spun in a salad spinner then placed on a frying device of some sort. I use a hanging mesh drying “rack”used to dry cannabis with a gentle fan blowing. In a few minutes the crop is dry enough to pack. This gives optimal shelf life. Try it
We’ve tried it many times many ways. Our results... better without shelf-life without wash! Thanks for sharing
@@OnTheGrow I would like to see that video.
@@ajayasiver3944 Great, we are planning on doing some after-harvest microgreen videos this year!
😉Ajaya Siver Would you Be~Leaf we're actively working on tasty recipes that will highlight the various flavors of your favorite microgreens in surprising ways...Not just a garnish...yum!!
Thanks for posting new to micro greens im going to copy you, great information
Wished I watched this before starting my Sunflower tray yesterday :)
Excited to hear yours turn out!! 🤗🌱🌱
Love this video and I will follow it to the word
My only issue is that I live in Thailand and the temperature is crazy at times.
I really enjoyed the Sunflower Microgreens! Time to make some more!!
I must have watched dozens of videos on growing microgreens and CJ and Mandi are my favorites and I think they are great. Very informing and great video quality. Many thanks to them both.
We really appreciate you saying that! We’ve done our best to have a good time and share everything we can about growing! We’re finally back to making content, so you’ll be seeing our faces more!
I've been growing a variety of microgreens for a while now but it's just for immediate family or we barter with friends for some real eggs. LOL! I haven't grown my black oil sunflower seeds this way and I find it interesting. They really shot up over those last 48 hours. I don't think I caught why you use the brick in the video. I assume this is to keep the seed in direct contact with the moist growing medium and to help them take root. I push my seeds down into growing medium and the spray them. I black them out and check on them daily since it doesn't take much time. I water the same as you. The food grade hydrogen peroxide (use the same as you) is a must even if one is growing in sterile medium. I use coir. I also use the same lights, but I have 4 bulbs 4' 6500k bulb per tray. I mix them all together and make smoothies or used in salads. Sunflower, peas, and wheatgrass are my favorites. I've grown many but I'm having issues with the oregano. Thanks for the video.
My very favorite greens for three decades !!!

Howdy from Conroe! I started my second set of sunflower trays last night. My first 3 tested seeds were flawless, but my pet tray from feedstore tried to have some patches of mold. This round I did stricter procedures, as this is 7 trays of pet food seed sunnies, but I already noticed 2 tips from you in the first 2 minutes of your video that I will integrate on my next grow. Thanks for sharing knowledge freely!
Howdy Neighbor! We're so grateful that you've found this video helpful!! We appreciate your support!
Arnold Natürlich I'm from Conroe too 😮
Thank you for another great video. With regard to the trays, is the middle green tray a different grade or material? I've read comments from others, not here, about chemicals from trays leaching into the product. Thanks again for the time you take to share your knowledge with us!
Thank you so much for the support! It is the same material which is a PP (Polypropylene plastic). PP is generally a pretty safe option and doesn't leech like a PVC or something would. Technically most leeching occurs when plastics are subjected to high heat or high UV radiation. We don't really let them get either in this space because our lights don't put off a lot of UV and the temperature is controlled. Growing outdoors would be slightly more concerning though and I wish that there were more non-plastic growing options for that. Hope that helps!
ULTRAVIOLET VS MOLD: I'm going to test pairing the H2O2 spray with 10 sec of low intensity disinfecting ultraviolet light (2w of UV-C), each time I water during blackout ... then I'll use the UV-C for spot treating during light.
I'll let you know how it goes. I snagged the portable cordless LED black light on amazon ($20 discounted 85% to $3), and this seems like a practical use.
Best video I've seen on growing microgreens. Very informative and pleasant to watch. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to viewing more of your videos. 💯👍
Very informative video! You guys are very thorough in your delivery. We've been researching microgreens for over a year now, and this virus has given me the inspiration to just get started. Our first round of sunnys turned moldy in 2 days. I think it was due to over soaking, over watering, and maybe too many seeds sown.. thanks much for the example.
Could you show us how you do your composting? Would also be interesting to see how you clean and sanitize your trays! Thanks in advance!
Personally i just give mine a good rinse than some warm soapy water, followed by another good rinse. You can also rinse than spray with hydrogen peroxide.
I am soo happy i found your channel. Been unemployed due to the pandemic and jobs have become so scarce. Thanks for showing me i can do this too. New subbie and i will be following you on my journey. Thank you
excellent detailed information!! Thank you for taking the time to educate us!
🙂 Thanks for sharing your excitement!!! Please visit onthegrow.net for more great assistance!!!
Thanks for the video guys! The new intro is pretty cool . I just finished my sunflower yesterday, it came out to almost the exact grams as yours . Good job guys, please keep it going.
Thank you for watching 😀
We're happy with our new intro, its simple and shows our grow space. That's awesome, it always feels good whenever you get a good harvest weight. Will have some more full walk-through videos coming very soon!
Excellent job! Very interesting and informative..thank you so much for teaching us this
Thank you for watching! 😃
I noticed you soaked your seeds in water that you ph balanced. But when you watered, you watered from the hose. Is it ok that the ph level from the hose is higher for watering? Thanks for the videos - well done!
Thank you so much for the support! You are correct that we pH soak (5.5pH) then water with the 8.0pH filtered water. We were having trouble with soaking in our regular 8.0pH water, so we tried dropping it to the nutrient pH levels and we found that we got slightly better germination... so we stuck with it!
Fantastic video! Thank you. My daughter used to get these every time that we bought produce from a local farm but they’ve decided not to sell them right now. So I’m going to be giving it a try at home.
💚Thank you so much for the Feedback Corry Jankowski! We appreciate your support! Your story is what inspires us every time we start a new day here at the farm. We want the next generation of microgreen lovers to be On The Grow and we're ready to assist!!!

😃 No problem Rob, thank you for watching!
I love how you do step by step everyday…do you have to use the ocean solution or can I use any plant food?
Thank to your video...sangat mudh untuk diikuti setiap lanhkah2nya
🥳 Thank you for watching!
Though it takes longer to harvest, I weigh sunflower microgreens as I'm putting in containers between 1 and 3 ounces for sales. During that process, I only grab enough product to check my weight tray for seed hulls, should there be any lingering, and boast a near-perfect record of no hulls to my customers! I was curious if you've developed a similar method or do you educate your customers, friends, and family about the possibility of the hulls and that they could pick them off? I know they're edible too (sunflower seeds are often eaten with the shell on!) but I prefer my micros without hulls. Love your content and thank you for your AWESOME presentations!!
I always enjoy watching your videos about microgreens. Thanks for sharing
💚Thank you for watching Jay Reyes!!! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for taking time to make this video, I found it both informative and well-paced!

Im growing sunflower right now as I watch this. Making sure i do it right. I have roots but its still under weight. My radish comes out of darkness when I get home for work. Working mid shift. water and check microgreens when i get home and when i wake up at 4 ocklock PM.
Have you made a video showing how you reuse the compost? How about some tips and tricks on that. Thanks
appreciate the well delivered and concise video's.... It's mentioned in the video that there are 6 shelf layers with a total of 18 trays, but can't you really fit 4 trays per shelf. One of your shelfs has 4 trays. total 24 trays.
Me n my doggie love you guys thank you
Happy to hear that you both enjoy our videos :D Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video! I'm doing a microgreens project with kids and we were wondering how long the sunflower sprouts stay fresh after you cut them.
Wow, thank you for making this so thorough and informative! We grow tons of sunflowers in our yard, but just heard about sunflower microgreens. Your video was so helpful. Can't wait to try it!
Do you guys rinse or wash the coconut coir? So far the most detailed video about sunflower microgreens in YT! Thanks a lot
Currently, we do not rinse ours but we will be experimenting with that soon hopefully! Thank you so much!! We do it for y'all!
Got it. I heard on a facebook group that coconut coir is high in sodium so thry recommended to wash it. I started a batch of sunflowers last night and didn't rinsed my coconut coir. Thanks again.
@@awakening_bryan Yeah we've heard the same, our coco comes pre-washed so we don't have to do that!
It is really really helpful for all.
The way of presentation is awesome.
God bless you.
I have a feeling this video is going to blow up
That’d be cool! Our channel has been blowing up quite a bit over the past 4 months already 🤗🌱🌱
8 days. Not bad. Beautiful sprouts and host.
Wonderful and helpful video thank you very much. You are such a good presenter.
Q: Why do you adjust the pH of the water for the soak time but use tap water from your hose for the rest of the watering?
We’ve just found through quite a few tests that it works better that way! We always encourage people to experiment themselves... Try soaking some in non-pH balanced water and then some soaked in the pH balanced water and see how it works for you!
Very thorough explanation. Thank you.
What a rewarding job you have!
Thanks so much for this. Everything was so well made and i love your setup. Keep up the good work! Subscribed~
You are a really great help.
Thanks!!! Great teaching
💚Thank you so much for the support GERARDO RODRIGUEZ!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 Please view the entire series of "How To Grow...Microgreens" until you know your favorites!!!
Looks beautiful
29:04 im gonna see about washing the coir…& speratine as much root feasible for my birds…from “wild birds” to 🐔 etc..and put the coir in my appropriate grow areas..like over tree areas.
Is there a reusable grow medium, tray screen, etc. that a beginner can use? THANKS! You Guys ROCK!! :-)
Thank you. Just ordered seeds but I don't have the set-up yet. I'll try the grow bag method. Or mason jar. Just can't wait to taste these.
What did you choose to start with? You really can grow them on pretty much anything using our same steps for each crop! Start a new batch after each harvest or stagger every 4 days or so, depending on what you like and it's grow times!
Another great video guys! I love that you did a full walk-thru to show the process from start to finish. I was experimenting with coco coir alone as you did in this video and found that it dried out and needed to be watered 2x a day like you showed. Another grower told me he added perlite to his coco to help retain water in the medium and now I only have to water it once a day. Have you guys done an experiment with a coco & perlite medium combo?
Thank you so much! It's been fun doing the full walk-through videos.
That's a good suggestion! We have not tried that yet, But we have on our list to try perlite to grow microgreens so we should be trying that soon. Will write this down as well 😀
Vermeculite vs Perlite. I thought one added to moisture retention, while the latter added to aeration? Those two are tricky to characterize, I just learned how to pronounce them!
Arnold Natürlich Yes you’re correct. They both have different uses. In this case a combo of coco and perlite woks much better than coco & vermiculite. A lot of growers with much much more experience than me are very successful with using coco & perlite so I just follow their lead 😊
@@ClownfishDepot I see, yep, loads of success stories to follow, a pioneer need not apply in this field! I mix soil & perlite, but I have blocks of coir to try out at some point and plan to mix perlite into that too. I have a fat bag of vermeculite, but I'm too green to have a use for it yet.
@@brianandlynphilippines I use fine grade Vermiculite as a top dressing on Cilantro, Swiss Chard, and Beets. It really works very well to help germination and also to get rid of the seed hulls.
I love the sunflower sprouts! I make a huge pile on my plate and cook 4 eggs over easy, place the eggs on pile of sprouts. Let sit for a minute then cut up my eggs and sprouts and dig in! Yummy! We have chickens so my eggs are not store bought. Thanks for this video it was very helpful! Can you eat to many sunflower sprouts in a day? I ask because I can wipe out 2 trays on my own in a day. Yes trays that are the same size as the ones you use. I have a very sm bowl I put some Italian dressing in and will dip each sprout into and snack on them and before I know it a whole tray is gone. 😲
Lol, we have the same problem with sunflowers and we hope that there isn't a cutoff limit for eating them :) They are so easy to enjoy!! They basically go with everything. That is hilarious!! 2 Trays a day is incredible really... I am impressed. That's gotta be so good for you though, since they are packed with such amazing nutrients!
Wonderful sprouting system.
Thank you!! We hope to build many more fun systems soon 🌱🌱
great video, thank you so much
Very helpful/educational/
Thanks for sharing this great video, well presented
Do you have indication for - how many Grams of seeds per tray with some other microleaves like: alfalfa, Kyle wheat etc.
Thanks
Thank you!!, Honestly not sure. Usually when we grow sunflower we grow them alone because the seed hulls get everywhere and link to decay!
Great video! I started growing microgreens a few weeks ago and did my first tray following your guide and it looks awesome. pH adjusting and putting the weight on seem to make a huge difference. Now I hope to have a good harvest tomorrow.
Also, would love to see something on wheatgrass as I haven't yet found the right seed density and am running into mold issues more often than not.
Thank you so much Pascal! Glad to hear that some of these techniques have helped with your grows! We are actually really bad at growing Wheatgrass :) It’s funny because it’s supposed to be so easy and we cannot seem to figure it out. We will try again soon and see if we can get better results and share that with you!
Really love your videos.
Soaking my sunflower seeds now for 8 hours. Thanks for the instructions and experience! Have y'all grown lentil microgreens? They area a bit bitter by themselves but on a sandwich or mixed into a rice/lentil/quinoa and protein dish they add yummy depth.
We have not yet grown Lentils but it is on our list to try out! Excited to hear they taste really good!! We will have to get that growing soon! Thanks for sharing and your continued support!
Lentils are my favorites! I find green lentils work best!
Great content, well presented and informative. 🌱❤️🌱
Thank you for your feedback and for watching!! 🥳
Thank you! Step by step info for a perfect grow :)
Thank you so much for the support Brent! It turned out pretty great for being a new batch of seed!
You guys are Ah.Mazing! Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication. I have been researching microgreens for the past 4 months and have not yet started because some of the information out there seems a bit convoluted or confusing, but you guys really have a great teaching gift that lays the information out in a concise and understandable way. Because of your videos I am placing my orders (through your links obviously 😉) this weekend to get the ball rolling for our microgreens business! One question I’m not sure about if you could point me in the direction for the answer: our water supply is through a well and ran through a water softener. Do I still need to set up a filtration system to use this source or can I use it as is and just adjust the Ph? Thanks for any information you may have on this subject!
Thank you so much for your support!! We really appreciate you shopping through our affiliate links, that helps us continue doing this! So excited to hear how your business progresses!!
I'd likely just use the well water since it is likely very fresh. I'd try growing with it as-is and see how your microgreens turn out. If they don't grow well on the first trys, it could be the water and then I would begin playing with pH and everything. Generally, they will do just fine with unchanged water.
If you notice issues, get a gallon or so of a filtered water from the grocery or something and try growing two trays side by side, one with your water, one with the filtered. You can also try checking the pH on both to make sure they are fairly even. I bet your well water has a lot of great minerals in it that would help with growth though...
Hope that helps!
