~ grow guide ~
Microgreens need about four hours daily of direct sunlight to thrive. Light needs can also be satisfied with a grow light that has a low heat output. Scatter seeds evenly on top of the soil. Press gently into the soil. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Dampen the surface with a mister or cover container with clear lid or plastic wrap until seeds have sprouted. Keep the soil moist but not wet.
When to Sow Outside: Not recommended. Microgreens are fragile, and outside soil makes them difficult to clean.
When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. Sow indoors any time of year. For a continual crop, sow every 7 to 14 days.
Days to Emerge: 4–7 days
Seed Depth: ⅛"–¼"
Seed Spacing: ¼"–½"
Thinning: Not required
~ harvesting ~
When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons, or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of days to maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.
