This is a side by side experiment with two trays of microgreens, one with nutrients, one with plain water, BOTH grown in coconut coir. As expected, the microgreens with the nutrient solution grew bigger and faster, but how did the microgreens with no nutrients do? A fun experiment where I get to eat the outcome!

i wonder whats the nutrition value difference btw the 2 trays
very interesting! thank you!
I might have to try this!
The one at the end with your conclusion are actually BABY GREENS… and have less nutrient concentration in them then the smaller microgreens
This was a fun one! I also like the idea of using the Coco coir. I could put the used medium in my outdoor garden soil too, which is preferable to disposable mediums.
I add plant food on the same day I put light on sprouts and it seems to work very well. I might try adding the nutrients in the beginning this way.
just pie on it
Well done.
I've seen folks use worm casings for nutrients for microgreens from the beginning stage as well and it works really well too.
Great experiment, thanks for the video Tikki! One thing you didnt mention was the taste difference (if any) between the 2, i would imagine the tray with nutes would taste slightly more bitter? Would love to know, thanks!
nice. thanks.
great experiment!
Great video, Tikki! I recently started using coco coir for microgreens, too, but I'll start adding nutrients sooner thanks to you!
Great experiment and explanation. Hope you never stop
Very useful info. Thank you! I'm planning on growing some microgreens.
Great video! very useful and professional
I have a question. Is it alright to use seed from the co-op store that would be sold for gardening? They don't believe they are treated, and the price is very affordable.
