In this video I grow broccoli microgreens in coconut coir. This is a follow up video to the previous one I posted about what coconut coir is and how to use it. Here you can see the broccoli microgreens grew nicely, much as they would grow in soil, but took a bit longer to grow. I did not add any nutrients to the coconut coir. I hope you enjoyed the video, and thank you for watching!

how much is the cost of the tray? what size? 10" x 20"? How about temperature?
Beethoven would have approved !
I've been growing broccoli sprouts in jars. What are the advantages of broccoli microgreens over broccoli sprouts? Also, how did you do that wonderful time-lapse photography?
Great Job Tikki!
Tikki what was your humidity level?
When say your soil microgreens took only 7 to 8 days..can you tell us what you mean by soil? Are you referring to Potting soil? Or actual ground soil?
Fantastic idea about the used Spice jar.
Who else thinks she kind of sounds a little bit like Ellen degeneres
Tikki O. Hi, have you tried to do micro greens of dandelion or chicory? They are very healthy and it's recommended to detox the liver. I just started a test today.
love time lap 🙂
Do you add any liquid fertilizer?
How often do you water during germination. What is the watering process that you use.
Coir=Core
Spice jar idea awesome…
But you didn't explained about watering and nutrients
i love your experiments 😀
hello, are you not using any nutrient solution while growing these microgreens? if yes, what is it that you use?
Tikki, thank you for your videos. Can you explain how and what kind of lighting you use? I want to start but need more instruction. Thank you. Lai Ling E Ngan
Why are you using a tray that has holes for the top tray when germinating…?
Terrific video, THANK YOU! Love the music and time lapse growing! XO
Seeing them wiggle to Beethoven's 5th was awesome!
Do you need to add any nutriets in the coconut coir?
Do they take longer in coir because it's unfertalized and the soil is? If you used fertalizer I suspect the grow time would speed up a lot
What about watering? Every day, every other day, bottom or top watering….geez
Can you recycle the coconut coir after it has been used, thank you.
I noticed some mold on them, what did you do for that?
I noticed you have the light facing away from the trays, is the light on? does that light provide adequate heat?
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
How often do you water
cool time lapse video
