Microgreens are a nutritional powerhouse that just happen to be one of the easiest types of plants to grow in ANY living space. Even if you’re in a tiny New York apartment, you can grow microgreens. Today we’re growing a spicy lettuce salad mix…a simple mix to grow due to fast and easy germination and minimal issues with mold, etc.
At the end, I’ll show you the simplest way to prepare them in the kitchen to enjoy them at peak freshness. It doesn’t get any better than this!

That's not lettuce! They are different brassicas.
I’ve heard that lettuce needs light to germinate. But, you have great success with a blackout dome for 3 days. Does the dome speed up germination?
I freaking love you dude !!!!!!! I know you dont know this but you are training me to be self sufficient . Not just for myself but for my whole family . God bless your very kind and wise self . I am starting from scratch so I need every bit of help I can get . Do uou have a video on using other objects as planters ? I would love to see it soon . Or maybe you can make one . Keep up your outstanding work . It is highly appreciated.
You are making me so hungry, I’m growing micro greens for the first time and I’m finding your videos so helpful. I’ve nailed the outdoor gardening so starting something new. I’m also in San Diego.
Thx for the informative vid. Just a wanted to ask what happens after the harvest ? Do they regrow ? If so how many times? Or once u cut it you throw it out and restart the whole process ? Thanks
Anyone got a healthy dairy free dressing mix? I love to garnish everything with them. Everyone needs to be doing this. Jesus came through Tina Spalding, a proven trance channel and said we need to get back to growing our own food since the grocery store is mainly GMOs. Yes, he talks like a normal person and never says "thou". As the world is awakening, we learn the satanic cabal edited the Bible to control humanity through fear. The made Christmas on the same day as their satanic holiday. Santa unscramble is Satan…..and he would gather children in his sack to eat. This is not a joke and what is going on will soon be public knowledge on msm, not just online. Turn off your tv programming devices and study Dolores Cannon, Alba Weinman hypnosis videos where we learn the hidden truths of who we are any why we're here for this particular time. It is not going back to the old normal but after more chaos, more humanitarian systems will be used as the cabal's banking, medical, educational and food systems are exposed and brought down.
If u could please guide growing Indian spices without soil
Can u plant regular lettuce seeds under lights till ready to eat
no offense but the lights you have in the video are not the ones linked down below. can you give a link for the ones you used?
Thanks!
Ok I need a black out dome…
in both your videos, this one and the complete guide, you use "no holes' trays, how you water the tray after the green is germinated? usually you do bottom watering using a double tray. just little confused
Great videos. I would use some kind of grid to go by while spreading seeds. Thanks.
You can try blending the greens into some boiled chicken to make a chicken salad or add the rest of ghe broth into the chicken mix to make a stew. You can also combine them into your spaghetti.
When you talk about growing in pure coco coir. You are saying you don’t need any 4-4-4 or anything? So just simply coco and perlite and water?
My micro greens were doing great then they all started drooping and dying over night.

What if the surface has mold? What do you recommend?
I know how you can have fresher greens. Eat it out of the trays.
I prefer actual lettuce and mixed greens over a microgreens mix
Lovely series, thank you~
I thought I started lettuce seeds but they only look like sprouts. It’s been a a couple weeks and no true leaves. Then they started to stick together and fall over.
Great Info Darlin!!! Loved this Vid!!!
Waste lots of seeds and harvest too early .
Omg that truffle and mushroom pasta is amazing – I can’t wait to try my micros with it! Thanks from Sydney, Australia!
When you were growing for market how much an ounce did you charge?
Heyyy you said you're a hydroponics guy, im gonna take a look i guess but whats your opinion on Duckweed? maybe not in the aquarium but i hear it has a lot of protein in it.
