hi!
question from a beginner:
In the video you said between day 7 and day 8 you exposed it to light, did you keep them outside in the sun, or you just made sure they were uncovered in the house under regular house lights, like the lights in your kitchen, etc.
Thanks in advance for any advice, I'm just starting out in the microgreen, sprouting world, very much a newbie.
This looks fantastic but your comment about bleached paper is a serious point because those little shoots will absorb everything the paper is made from. Great video though
Where can I buy Broccoli seeds?
Do you think I could use my green sprouting tray with lid to do this? Just lay the paper towel inside of it? Thanks
When we have to keep them in light
Thank you for your clear explanations. Great for beginners like me! If you cut the broccoli microgreens, do they keep growing? Or do you have to start over with new seeds? Thanks.
Just the kind of technique I was looking for: SIMPLE and CHEAP! Thank you!
Very nice!!!
Do you water the sprouts after they germinate even if you keep them in the dark?
Good information but hard to watch as the camera is moving too much and too fast 🙁
OMG I thought my broccoli and spinach molded cool, it's root hairs!
Hi I recently found your channel – love that you share successes AND failures and love the scientific approaches I’ve seen you post.
Question: did you use plain water? Or some type of hydroponic solution?
Awesome way to grow microgreens!!
Did you spray water every day or not?
I grow lentil sprouts on a glass container without a paper towel or something else. I wonder if broccoli will work the same… if anyone has tried already please let me know
What type of light source is it in? Window? South facing? Or? Thank you! Loved this video! I have radish seeds I’m going to try this with.
Where did you buy seeds?
They bleach paper using chlorine gas or hydrogen peroxide, I suppose. And there isn't much chlorine gas left in the paper towel. And plant seeds will not absorb chlorine gas and hydroxide will turn naturally into water. I use tap water for germination and some seeds will be affected, but some won't. If you don't want your seeds to fail, boil the water for a while and get rid of some of the chlorine. Plants are very tolerant, so you don't need to boil away all the chlorine chemicals. The other problem I see with your beet seeds is you put too much water into them. Some seeds don't like too much water, e.g. soybeans. They will end up getting mushy and die.
I love your straight forward and honest attitude. Kudos. BTW, how do you prevent MOLD from developing on your PAPAER TOWELS? 🙂
Same exact experience with Beets! They don't do well as a micro… probably just need to plant them after sprouting
not a bad video but stop moving so much, hold the camera steady
Did you add water each day? Spray or bottom water?
Hey are micro green same vegi that we buy in mature form from supermarket? Or these are new discovered vegetables?
Thank you, just what I was looking for!! Have started my broccoli seeds right now!
I like your idea of using paper instead of soil.
Which has more Sulforaphane microgreens or sprouts?
EXCELLENT!!! Can't wait to try it! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!!
Does it make any difference in which paper towel.
