Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What are microgreens?

Microgreens are young vegetable greens harvested 7-14 days after germination. They're packed with nutrients—often containing 4-40 times more vitamins and antioxidants than mature plants—and add fresh flavor to meals. Common varieties include broccoli, radish, sunflower, and peas.

Where do you buy microgreen seeds?

We have been buying our Microgreen Seeds from Trueleaf Market for 7 years now! They are a trustworthy supplier, with fair pricing. When picking seeds, buying in bulk has a higher upfront cost, however it will save you money in the end. Click here for the seed supplier.

Read our blog: The Benefits and Disadvantages of Buying Microgreen Seeds in Bulk Rather Than Small Batches

How long do microgreens take to grow?

Most varieties grow in 7-14 days from seed to harvest. Fast-growing varieties like radish can be ready in as little as 6 days, while slower varieties like basil may take up to 21 days.

Do I need special equipment to grow microgreens?

You can start with basic trays, growing medium, and seeds. Our 7x14 Microgreen Tray Kit includes everything except seeds for beginners. You'll also need a light source—either a sunny windowsill or a grow light.

Can I grow microgreens without special trays or equipment?

Yes! While dedicated microgreen trays give the best results, you can grow microgreens in almost anything—egg cartons, pie tins, takeout containers, ice cube trays, or even repurposed food packaging. The key requirements are a shallow container (1-2 inches deep), drainage or a way to manage water, a growing medium, seeds, and a light source. We've tested all kinds of creative containers on our YouTube channel and many of them work surprisingly well for beginners who want to try microgreens before investing in a full setup.

That said, once you're hooked (and you will be), upgrading to proper trays and a reusable grow medium makes the process faster, cleaner, and more consistent.

Can I grow microgreens without soil?

Yes! You can grow microgreens hydroponically using reusable silicone grow mediums, coco coir, or directly on mesh trays. This keeps your growing area cleaner and minimizes the need for soil.

Are microgreens the same as sprouts?

No. Sprouts are germinated seeds eaten whole (roots, seeds, and shoots) within 2-7 days. Microgreens are grown in soil or growing medium for 7-21 days and harvested by cutting the stems, leaving roots behind.

Read our blog: Sprouts vs. Microgreens: Key Differences & Nutritional Benefits

Read out blog: Why We Don't Eat Microgreen Roots Like Sprouts

Do microgreens regrow after cutting?

Most microgreens do not regrow after harvest. A few varieties like peas may produce a small second cutting, but quality and yield decline significantly. It's best to start a new tray for consistent results.

Read out blog: Will Microgreens Regrow After Harvesting?

Where can I learn to grow microgreens?

We offer multiple learning resources:

Can I grow microgreens year-round?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of microgreens is that they can be grown indoors any time of year, regardless of your climate or season. As long as you have a light source (a grow light or sunny windowsill), consistent temperatures between 65-75°F, and basic supplies, you can grow fresh microgreens 365 days a year. This makes them one of the most accessible crops for home growers—no backyard, garden bed, or growing season required.

Can I grow microgreens outdoors?

You can, but indoor growing is far more reliable. Outdoors, microgreens are exposed to temperature swings, wind, rain, pests, and inconsistent sunlight—all of which can damage or destroy a tray in a single day. Microgreens are delicate seedlings, not hardy garden plants.

If you want to try outdoor growing, choose a shaded, protected area (like a covered porch) and grow fast varieties like radish. Keep trays off the ground to reduce pest exposure. Most successful microgreen growers—whether home or commercial—grow exclusively indoors where they can control temperature, light, and humidity for consistent results every time.

Can I grow microgreens in an apartment or small space?

Absolutely! Microgreens are one of the best crops for small-space living. A single tray can sit on a kitchen counter, windowsill, or small shelf. Our 7x14 Microgreen Tray Kit was designed specifically for compact spaces and produces enough microgreens for a small family each week. Our Small Sprouting Tray Set is even more compact—perfect for dorm rooms, RVs, or tiny kitchens. No outdoor space, garden, or special room needed. If you have a flat surface and a light source, you can grow microgreens.

What plants should NOT be grown as microgreens?

Some plants are toxic at the seedling stage and should never be grown or consumed as microgreens. These include nightshade family plants—tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes—which contain alkaloids (like solanine) that are harmful to humans at the seedling stage. You should also avoid any ornamental plants, sweet peas (not to be confused with regular garden peas, which are safe), and any wild plant seeds you cannot positively identify. When in doubt, stick to seeds specifically labeled for microgreen or sprouting use from reputable suppliers like Trueleaf Market.

Can I grow microgreens year-round indoors without a grow light?

You can, but results will vary. A sunny south-facing windowsill can work during months with strong natural light, but you'll likely notice leggy, pale, or slow-growing microgreens during shorter winter days or in spaces without direct sunlight. For consistent results year-round, we recommend using an LED grow light positioned 6-12 inches above your trays for 12-16 hours daily. Even a basic, affordable shop-style LED light makes a noticeable difference in stem thickness, color, and overall quality.

Using and Eating Microgreens

How do I eat microgreens? What can I use them for?

Microgreens are incredibly versatile! Here are the most popular ways to enjoy them:

  • Salads: Use as the base or mix with other greens for added flavor, color, and nutrition.
  • Sandwiches & wraps: Replace or add to lettuce for a fresh, flavorful crunch.
  • Smoothies: Blend a handful of microgreens (broccoli, pea shoots, sunflower, or kale work great) with fruit for a nutrient boost without much flavor change.
  • Garnish: Top soups, omelets, tacos, pizza, pasta, grain bowls, or avocado toast.
  • Pesto: Blend microgreens (especially arugula or basil) with olive oil, nuts, and parmesan for a nutrient-packed pesto.
  • Juicing: Pea shoots, broccoli, and wheatgrass microgreens juice well on their own or mixed with other produce.

The possibilities are endless. For more ideas, check out our books and course where we have recipes 

Read our blog: The Many Ways You Can Use Microgreens

Read our blog: The Mental Health Benefits of Microgreen Nutrition and Growing Microgreens

Should I eat microgreens raw or cooked?

For maximum nutritional benefit, eat microgreens raw. Cooking (especially high heat) can reduce some of the beneficial nutrients and enzymes—particularly sulforaphane in broccoli microgreens, which is activated when the greens are chewed or chopped raw.

That said, microgreens can absolutely be added to cooked dishes. The key is to add them at the very end—toss them onto a stir-fry just before serving, fold them into an omelet off the heat, or stir them into warm soup in the bowl. This preserves more nutrition while still getting the flavor and visual appeal in hot dishes.

Can I put microgreens in smoothies?

Yes! Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get a daily serving of microgreens, especially if you're not a salad person. Broccoli, pea shoots, sunflower, and kale microgreens all blend well and their flavors are easily masked by fruit.

A simple starting recipe: blend a handful of microgreens with a banana, a cup of frozen fruit (berries, mango, or pineapple), and your choice of liquid (water, milk, or coconut water). You can also add chia seeds, protein powder, or yogurt.

Tip: If you harvest more than you can eat fresh, freeze your extra microgreens specifically for smoothie use. The texture won't hold up for fresh eating after freezing, but they blend perfectly and retain their nutritional value.

Can I dehydrate or preserve microgreens?

Yes! Dehydrating microgreens is a great way to preserve a large harvest and extend shelf life significantly. Use a food dehydrator set to 115-125°F and spread microgreens in a single layer on the trays. Dehydrating typically takes 4-8 hours depending on the variety and humidity. Once fully dried, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place—they'll keep for several months.

Dehydrated microgreens work great as a seasoning sprinkled over dishes, blended into homemade spice mixes, or crushed into powder for smoothies and soups. The texture changes completely (they become crispy and crumbly), so they won't work as a fresh salad substitute, but the nutritional value is largely preserved.

You can also freeze microgreens for smoothie use (see our freezing tips in the "Can I freeze microgreens?" answer below), or incorporate them into recipes like homemade jerky for a nutrient boost.

How many microgreens should I eat per day?

There is no official daily recommendation for microgreens. However, adding a small handful (about 1-2 ounces) to meals is a simple way to boost your daily nutrient intake. Think of it as adding an extra serving of vegetables to your diet. Since microgreens are nutrient-dense, a little goes a long way. As with any dietary change, listen to your body and consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific dietary concerns.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Health & Nutrition 

What are the healthiest microgreens to grow?

While all microgreens are nutrient-dense, some varieties stand out based on available research:

  • Broccoli: Rich in sulforaphane and high in vitamins A, C, E, and K. Broccoli microgreens are the most researched variety for health benefits.
  • Radish: High in vitamins C and E, with powerful antioxidant activity. Also one of the fastest and easiest to grow.
  • Sunflower: Excellent source of protein, healthy fats, and B vitamins. One of the heartiest and most filling microgreens.
  • Pea shoots: High in protein (up to 35% by dry weight), fiber, and vitamins A and C. Great for smoothies and salads.
  • Kale: Packed with vitamins K, C, and A. Easy to grow and mild in flavor.
  • Red cabbage: Very high in vitamin C and contains anthocyanins (powerful antioxidants that give it the red/purple color).

What is sulforaphane, and why are broccoli microgreens so popular?

Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound found in cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.) that has been extensively studied by researchers for its antioxidant and health-promoting properties. It's formed when you chew or chop these vegetables, which activates an enzyme called myrosinase that converts a precursor compound (glucoraphanin) into sulforaphane.

Broccoli microgreens have gained significant attention because research suggests they contain substantially higher concentrations of glucoraphanin compared to mature broccoli. This is a key reason broccoli microgreens are currently the most popular and widely grown variety in the microgreens market.

To maximize sulforaphane formation, researchers suggest consuming broccoli microgreens raw and chopping them before eating to activate the enzyme reaction.

Disclaimer: We share this for educational purposes only. We are not nutritionists, medical professionals, or researchers, and we do not make health claims about our products. Nutrient content varies based on growing conditions. Consult a healthcare professional for health or dietary advice.

Are microgreens good for specific health conditions (weight loss, diabetes, etc.)?

There is growing scientific interest in the potential health applications of microgreens, and new research continues to emerge. However, we want to be transparent: we are educators and microgreen growers—not doctors, nutritionists, or medical researchers. We do not make health claims about our products or microgreens in general.

What the research broadly suggests is that microgreens are nutrient-dense, low in calories, and rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—qualities that can complement a healthy diet. Beyond that, any specific health questions should be directed to a qualified healthcare professional who understands your individual situation.

We focus on teaching you how to grow them well. What you do with that nutrition is between you and your doctor!

How do microgreens compare to sprouts nutritionally?

While we can't make specific nutritional claims, the general research landscape suggests both microgreens and sprouts are nutrient-dense, but in different ways. Sprouts are typically richer in certain enzymes due to their very early harvest stage (2-7 days). Microgreens, grown for 7-21 days with exposure to light, develop chlorophyll and a broader range of vitamins—particularly vitamins C, E, K, and beta-carotene—that require light to form. Some studies have suggested that certain microgreen varieties contain higher overall concentrations of some vitamins compared to both sprouts and mature vegetables.

The biggest practical differences are food safety and flavor. Microgreens are generally considered lower risk for foodborne illness because they're grown in ventilated conditions with air circulation (unlike sprouts, which grow in warm, moist, enclosed environments). Microgreens also tend to have more developed flavors and textures.

Disclaimer: We are educators, not nutritionists. For specific nutritional comparisons, we recommend consulting published research or a qualified nutritionist.

Microgreens for Pets

Are microgreens safe for dogs?

Most microgreens that are safe for humans are also safe for dogs in small amounts. Popular dog-friendly varieties include wheatgrass, sunflower, broccoli, and kale microgreens. Dogs can benefit from the added vitamins, minerals, and fiber that microgreens provide as a supplement to their regular diet.

Important guidelines:

  • Start small: Introduce microgreens gradually and watch for any digestive reactions.
  • Keep it supplemental: Microgreens should make up no more than about 10% of your dog's daily diet.
  • Chop or blend: Mix chopped microgreens into their regular food for easier digestion.

Varieties to AVOID for dogs:

  • Onion and garlic (toxic to dogs—can cause anemia)
  • Oregano
  • Parsley (in large amounts)
  • Any nightshade family plants (tomato, pepper, eggplant)
  • Buckwheat (contains fagopyrin, which can cause light sensitivity)

We are not veterinarians. Always consult your vet before adding microgreens or any new food to your pet's diet, especially if your pet has allergies, sensitivities, or existing health conditions.

Are microgreens safe for cats?

Yes, certain microgreens are safe for cats in moderation. Cats are obligate carnivores, so microgreens should only be a very small supplement—no more than about 5% of their diet. Many cats naturally enjoy nibbling on greens, and offering safe microgreens is much better than letting them chew on potentially toxic houseplants.

Cat-safe microgreens include:

  • Wheatgrass (a longtime favorite—great for digestion and hairball reduction)
  • Sunflower
  • Broccoli
  • Alfalfa

Varieties to AVOID for cats:

  • Onion, garlic, leek, and chives (toxic—can cause anemia)
  • Any allium family plants
  • Any nightshade family plants

Growing a small tray of wheatgrass specifically for your cat is a fun, enriching option. It gives them something safe to graze on and can help with digestion. Just supervise until you know how they respond.

We are not veterinarians. Always consult your vet before introducing new foods to your cat's diet.

 Microgreens for Educators & Classrooms

Can I use microgreens as a classroom or school project?

Microgreens make an excellent educational tool for classrooms of all ages! They're one of the best crops for hands-on STEM learning because they grow fast enough (7-14 days) to fit within a school project timeline, they require minimal space and equipment, and they teach real science concepts—germination, photosynthesis, plant biology, nutrition, and even basic business skills.

Our 7x14 Microgreen Tray Kit and Small Sprouting Tray Sets are great options for classroom settings. Pair them with our free downloadable PDF guides for lesson support.

We've had educators from middle school through college-level programs reach out about using our products and resources, many of have shown our YouTube videos to their classrooms even.

Product Questions

What's the difference between silicone and stainless steel grow mediums?

Silicone is flexible, easy to clean, and dishwasher safe. It's great for beginners and works well with most seed varieties.

Stainless Steel is more durable, handles aggressive cleaning, and resists staining better. It's ideal for commercial growers or those who prefer a firmer growing surface.

Both are reusable for months with proper care. Compare both options here.

Read our blog: Silicone Reusable Microgreen Grow Medium - Complete Grow Medium Overview

Read our blog: Stainless Steel Reusable Microgreen Grow Medium - Complete Grow Medium Overview

How do I clean reusable grow mediums?

  1. Scrape off roots with our cleaning tool
  2. Wash with warm water and free-and-clear soap
  3. Sanitize with boiling water (1-2 minutes) after every grow
  4. Air dry completely before storage

Total cleanup time: about 5 minutes per sheet. Many growers will wash and sanitize in batches for quicker timing.

Read our blog: How to Clean and Sanitize Microgreen Trays and Reusable Grow Mediums: Complete Guide

How long do reusable grow mediums last?

With proper care, silicone and stainless steel grow mediums last for months of regular use. Replace them if tears, deep cuts, or excessive wear develops.

Are microgreens grown on your reusable mediums more nutritious than soil-grown microgreens?

We do not make any claims about nutritional content or nutrient density of crops grown on our products. Our reusable grow mediums (silicone and stainless steel) are inert materials - they do not add or remove nutrients.

Nutrient density is influenced by many factors unrelated to the growing medium, including seed genetics, light quality, water quality, fertilizers used, and growing conditions. While general research shows microgreens are nutrient-dense compared to mature vegetables, and hydroponic methods can produce nutrient-rich crops, we have not conducted laboratory testing specific to our products.

We are not nutritionists and cannot make nutritional claims. If you need nutritional data for your crops, we recommend conducting laboratory testing through an accredited food testing facility.

For more information, see our complete Nutritional Content Disclaimer.

What seeds can I grow on reusable grow mediums?

We've tested 70+ microgreen seed varieties on our reusable grow mediums! Medium-to-large seeds with manageable root systems perform best, including most brassicas (broccoli, kale, cabbage, mustard, kohlrabi), radishes, basil, and common salad mixes.

Some seeds—especially peas—have very aggressive roots that tangle deeply into the medium, making cleanup difficult. These grow better directly on a mesh tray. Very tiny seeds may fall through the mesh and do better on soil or coco coir.

For the complete seed compatibility breakdown with all 70+ varieties listed, check out our blog: 70+ Microgreen Seed Varieties and Reusable Grow Medium Compatibility. You can also find compatibility charts in the product photos on each reusable grow medium listing.

Which tray size should I start with?

The 7x14 OTG Microgreen Tray Kit is our most popular starter size. It's compact enough for countertops but produces enough microgreens for a small family. If you have more space, 10x20 trays are the commercial standard.

Do Bootstrap Farmer trays fit your products?

Yes! Our reusable grow mediums and tray clip labelers are designed to fit Bootstrap Farmer Heavy Duty 10x20 and 10x10 trays. 

What seeds work best with reusable grow mediums?

Works great with: Sunflower, radish, broccoli, arugula, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, and most Brassica family seeds.

Does NOT work well with: Swiss chard, beets, cilantro. These varieties perform better on soil or coco coir.

See full compatibility chart on each listing in the photos

Are your products made in the USA?

Our Bootstrap Farmer trays are made in the USA. Our Microgreen Tray Clip Labelers are designed, manufactured, and assembled in-house by us in Texas. Some products are sourced internationally to provide the best quality at reasonable prices. Though we are working towards all USA based as pricing becomes more sustainable for small businesses.

Can I use your products with non-Bootstrap Farmer trays?

Our reusable grow mediums fit any standard 10x20 or 10x10 tray. Our Tray Clip Labelers are specifically designed for Bootstrap Farmer Heavy Duty trays and may not fit other brands due to rim thickness variations.

Are your products organic/food-safe certified?

Our reusable silicone and stainless steel grow mediums are made from food-grade materials. While the products themselves aren't "organic certified" (that applies to agricultural inputs), they're safe for organic growing practices. Our recommended fertilizer (OceanSolution 2-0-3) is OMRI-listed organic.

Growing Questions

What pH should I use for hydroponic microgreens?

We recommend 5.5-6.0 pH for most microgreen varieties. Use a pH meter and pH up/down solutions to adjust your nutrient water. Download our Free Fertilizer Ratio Guide for detailed mixing instructions.

How much light do microgreens need?

Most microgreens need 12-16 hours of light per day. You can use:

  • Sunny windowsill (south-facing works best)
  • LED grow lights positioned 6-12 inches above trays
  • Fluorescent shop lights (budget-friendly option)

Insufficient light causes leggy, pale microgreens. Adequate light produces thick stems and vibrant colors.

Read our blog: The Complete Guide to Microgreen Lighting

Why are my microgreens molding?

Common causes:

  • Overwatering — Medium should be moist, not saturated
  • Poor airflow — Add a small fan for gentle circulation
  • High humidity — Keep humidity around 40-60%
  • Dirty equipment — Sanitize trays and mediums between grows

Download our Free Troubleshooting Guide for solutions.

Read our blog: Microgreens and Mold: The Complete Guide to Prevention, Identification, and Treatment

Can I use tap water?

It depends on your water quality. Most tap water works fine, but heavily chlorinated or very hard water can affect growth. If you notice problems, try filtered water or let tap water sit uncovered for 24 hours to off-gas chlorine.

Do I need fertilizer for microgreens?

Soil-grown: Usually no fertilizer needed if using quality potting mix.

Hydroponic (coco coir or reusable mediums): Yes, add hydroponic nutrients after germination. We use OceanSolution 2-0-3 at 0.5 oz per gallon for microgreens.

What is damping off, and how do I prevent it?

Damping off is a fungal disease that kills microgreen seedlings at or just below the soil line. You'll notice affected stems become thin, mushy, and collapse—often in patches across the tray. Once it starts, the affected seedlings cannot be saved.

Common causes include overwatering, poor airflow, high humidity, overly dense seeding, and unsanitized trays or growing mediums. Prevention is key: maintain good air circulation with a small fan, avoid overwatering (moist—not soggy), sanitize your trays and mediums between every grow, and don't overcrowd seeds.

If you notice damping off on part of a tray, you can still harvest the healthy portions—just cut well away from the affected area and inspect carefully before eating.

Read our blog: What Is Damping Off, How It Affects Microgreens, and How to Prevent It

How do I prevent leggy microgreens?

  • Provide adequate light (12-16 hours daily)
  • Don't skip the blackout/weight phase during germination
  • Maintain proper temperature (65-75°F)
  • Ensure good airflow

Read our blog: Common Mistakes When Growing Microgreens (And How to Avoid Them)

Do hydroponic nutrients actually make a difference for microgreens?

It depends on the crop and your growing method. We've tested over 10 different hydroponic nutrients head-to-head against plain water across multiple microgreen varieties on our YouTube channel, and the results vary. Some crops—particularly larger, longer-growing varieties—show noticeable improvements in stem thickness, color vibrancy, and harvest weight when given nutrients during the bottom-watering phase. Other fast-growing crops like radish often perform nearly the same with or without added nutrients.

For soil-grown microgreens, quality potting mix usually provides enough nutrition for the short 7-14 day growth cycle, so additional fertilizer typically isn't needed. For hydroponic growing (coco coir or reusable mediums), adding a hydroponic nutrient like OceanSolution 2-0-3 during bottom-watering generally produces better results than water alone.

Download our Free Fertilizer Ratio Guide for mixing instructions.

What's the blackout method?

During germination (first 3-5 days), cover seeds with an upside-down tray or humidity dome to block light. This encourages strong stem development. Once seeds germinate 75%, move trays to light.

Read our blog: Knowing the Right Time to Transition Microgreen Trays from Weight to Blackout

Should I stack weight on my trays during germination?

Many growers place weight on top of their trays during the germination phase—typically by stacking another tray with a weight (like a brick, book, or second tray filled with water) on top of the seeds. The purpose is to create gentle downward pressure that encourages seeds to root into the growing medium rather than lift up, which can lead to uneven growth and poor root anchoring. Weight also helps remove seed hulls.

We've tested stacked weight on multiple crops including broccoli, sunflower, and radish microgreens, and the results vary by seed size. Larger seeds like sunflower tend to benefit most from added weight during germination. Smaller seeds like broccoli may not need as much. The weight phase typically lasts 2-4 days during blackout, then you remove the weight and transition the tray to light.

There's no single "right" amount of weight—experiment with your setup to see what works best for each variety you grow

Why are my microgreens yellowing?

Most common causes:

  • Insufficient light: Increase light duration (12-16 hours) or move lights closer (6-12 inches)
  • Nutrient deficiency: If growing hydroponically, ensure you're adding fertilizer after germination
  • Root problems: Check for root rot from overwatering

Yellowing at harvest time is normal as lower leaves age.

Read our blog: Common Mistakes When Growing Microgreens (And How to Avoid Them)

Why aren't my seeds germinating?

Check these factors:

  • Old seeds: Germination rates decline over time—use fresh seeds
  • Wrong temperature: Most seeds germinate best at 65-75°F
  • Too dry or too wet: Medium should be moist but not waterlogged during germination
  • Light exposure: Most seeds germinate better in darkness—use blackout method for first 3-5 days
  • Seed quality: Always use food-grade microgreen seeds, never bird seed

My microgreens taste bitter—what went wrong?

Common causes:

  • Harvested too late: Harvest at first true leaf stage for best flavor
  • Heat stress: Temperatures above 80°F can cause bitterness
  • Water stress: Inconsistent watering affects flavor
  • Variety selection: Some varieties (like mustard, arugula) are naturally spicier

Broccoli, sunflower, and peas are milder if you prefer less intense flavors.

What's the difference between soil, coco coir, and reusable grow mediums?

Each growing medium has pros and cons:

Soil is the most forgiving for beginners. It naturally holds moisture and contains some nutrients, so fertilizer isn't always necessary. The downside is cleanup—soil is messy and cannot be reused. Compost it after each grow.

Coco coir is a soil-free alternative made from coconut husks. It's cleaner than soil, holds moisture well, and works great for most varieties. It can be reused once or twice if sterilized, but quality degrades. You'll need hydroponic fertilizer since coco coir contains no nutrients.

Reusable grow mediums (silicone or stainless steel) are the cleanest, most sustainable option. They last for months with proper care, eliminate ongoing medium costs, and make cleanup fast. They do require hydroponic fertilizer and work best with medium-to-large seed varieties. See our seed compatibility information on each product listing.

For a detailed growing guide covering all three methods, read our blog: How to Grow Microgreens in 10x20 Trays.

When should I switch from top-watering to bottom-watering?

During the germination phase (first 3-5 days while seeds are in blackout), top-watering with a mist or spray bottle is the best approach. Seeds need surface moisture to germinate, and misting keeps them evenly damp without disturbing them. Top-watering is also helpful for rinsing away seed hulls on crops like sunflower and pea.

Once your seeds have germinated and you move the tray to light, switch to bottom-watering by adding water directly to the reservoir tray beneath the grow tray. This allows roots to drink from below, keeps the foliage dry (reducing mold risk), and produces a cleaner crop at harvest. For most varieties, the switch happens around day 3-5.

The exception: if you notice dry spots on the surface after switching to bottom-water, a quick targeted mist on those areas is fine. The goal is to keep the medium consistently moist—not waterlogged—throughout the entire grow cycle.

How do I prepare coco coir bricks for microgreens?

Coco coir typically comes in compressed bricks that need to be rehydrated before use. Place the brick in a large container or bucket and add warm water—most bricks will expand to roughly 5-7 times their compressed size. Break up the brick as it absorbs water, working it with your hands until it reaches a consistent, fluffy texture with no dry clumps remaining. The ideal moisture level is like a wrung-out sponge: damp throughout but not dripping wet.

If the coco coir feels too wet after rehydrating, squeeze out excess water before adding it to your trays. Overly wet coco coir is one of the most common causes of mold and damping off for new growers. Spread it evenly in your tray to a depth of about 1 inch, lightly tamp it flat, and you're ready to seed.

One full-size brick typically fills 4-6 standard 10x20 trays depending on how deep you pack it.

What about burlap, biostrate, and terrafibre grow mats?

Beyond soil, coco coir, and our reusable mediums, there are several disposable hydroponic grow mats available for microgreens:

Burlap is one of the cheapest hydroponic options—roughly $0.30 per 10x20 tray. It works well for most crops but tends to dry out faster than other mediums, so you'll need to stay on top of misting during germination. It's a great budget option for growers who want to try hydroponics without a big investment.

Biostrate is a felt-like synthetic mat that holds moisture well and provides a clean, consistent growing surface. It costs around $1.00 per 10x20 tray and is popular with commercial growers for its reliability.

Terrafibre is a hemp-based grow mat, also around $1.00 per 10x20 tray. It retains water very well and roots tend to anchor into it more aggressively than other mats, which can make cleanup slightly more involved but produces well-anchored crops.

We've tested all of these head-to-head on our YouTube channel. Each has pros and cons, but for long-term cost savings and sustainability, our reusable silicone and stainless steel grow mediums eliminate ongoing medium costs entirely.

What is the Kratky method for growing microgreens?

The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique where plants grow suspended above a nutrient-filled water reservoir—no pumps, no electricity, no complicated equipment. It's named after Dr. Bernard Kratky from the University of Hawaii.

For microgreens, the Kratky method works exceptionally well because of their short 7-14 day growth cycle. Roots only hang above the nutrient water for about 4-8 days, which greatly reduces the risk of root rot that can affect longer-growing crops.

We sell a complete 10x20 Kratky Hydroponics Tray Kit that includes everything you need to get started. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, check out our blog: Growing Microgreens Using the Kratky Method.

Do I need to soak microgreen seeds before planting?

It depends on the seed variety.

Seeds that benefit from soaking (8-12 hours): Larger seeds like peas, sunflower, and mung beans germinate faster and more evenly when pre-soaked. Soaking softens the hard outer shell and jumpstarts the germination process.

Seeds that do NOT need soaking: Most small-to-medium seeds like broccoli, radish, kale, arugula, cabbage, and mustard do not need soaking. Simply spread them on your growing medium, mist, and proceed with the blackout method.

Seeds you should NEVER soak: Mucilaginous seeds (like basil, chia, and flax) form a gel coating when wet. These should be spread dry on your medium and misted—do not soak them or they'll clump together into an unmanageable mass.

Can I freeze microgreens?

Yes, but only for use in smoothies or cooked dishes. Freezing destroys the crisp texture of microgreens, so they won't work for salads or garnishes after being frozen. However, freezing does preserve most of the nutritional value. Spread harvested microgreens on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag. They'll keep for 2-3 months and blend perfectly into smoothies.

Growing Questions - Crop Specific 

Which pea varieties make the best microgreens?

Peas are one of the most popular microgreens to grow—they're forgiving, fast, and produce a large, satisfying harvest. The most common varieties grown as microgreens include Speckled Pea (our personal favorite for flavor and texture), Dwarf Grey Sugar Snap Peas, Dun Pea, and Green Pea. Each variety produces slightly different flavor profiles ranging from sweet and mild to earthy and robust.

Pea microgreens are one of the few varieties that may produce a small second cutting after the first harvest, though the quality and yield drop noticeably. For the best results, start a fresh tray. Peas have large seeds that benefit from soaking for 8-12 hours before planting and they drink a lot of water throughout the growth cycle, so keep your reservoir full.

One important note: peas have aggressive root systems that tangle deeply into most growing mediums. They grow best directly on a mesh tray or in soil rather than on reusable silicone or stainless steel mediums, where root cleanup becomes very difficult.

Can I grow unusual seeds as microgreens—like corn, cantaloupe, or pumpkin?

We've experimented with dozens of unconventional crops as microgreens on our YouTube channel, including corn, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and store-bought chia seeds. Some work better than others.

Corn produces sweet, grass-like microgreens that grow well on coco coir and make a fun experiment. Store-bought chia seeds can be grown as microgreens, though they're mucilaginous (they form a gel coating when wet) and require special handling—spread them dry on your medium and mist rather than soaking. Cantaloupe and pumpkin are novelty experiments—they'll germinate and grow, but the harvest yield is low compared to traditional microgreen crops and the flavor isn't as developed.

The rule of thumb: if the mature plant is edible and the seed is untreated, it's generally safe to experiment with as a microgreen. Just avoid nightshade family plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes), ornamental plants, and any seeds you can't positively identify. Stick to seeds from reputable suppliers labeled for food use.

Storage & Harvesting

How do I store harvested microgreens?

Store unwashed microgreens in an airtight container at 35-40°F (refrigerator temperature). Place a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture. Never wash microgreens before storage—only rinse right before eating. Properly stored microgreens stay fresh for 7-14 days depending on variety.

How long do microgreens last after harvest?

Most varieties last 7-14 days when stored properly (unwashed, 35-40°F, in airtight container with paper towel). Delicate varieties like basil may only last 5-7 days, while heartier varieties like sunflower and peas can last up to 2 weeks.

Should I wash microgreens before or after harvest?

Never wash before harvest or storage. Only rinse microgreens right before you're ready to eat them. Washing before storage introduces moisture that significantly shortens shelf life and increases spoilage risk.

What's the best way to harvest microgreens?

Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife. Cut stems just above the growing medium, leaving roots behind. Harvest in the morning after watering for maximum crispness. For cleanest harvest, bottom-water only (never top-water) during the growth phase to keep foliage clean.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Yield & Planning

How much will one tray produce?

Typical yields per harvest:

  • 7x14 tray: 4-8 oz (enough for a small family for one week)
  • 10x20 tray: 8-16 oz depending on variety

Sunflower and peas produce the most weight. Smaller seeds like broccoli and radish produce less volume but are nutrient-dense.

How many seeds do I need per tray size?

Seeding density varies by variety:

  • Small seeds (broccoli, radish, arugula): 1-2 tablespoons per 10x20 tray
  • Medium seeds (sunflower): 1-1.5 cups per 10x20 tray
  • Large seeds (peas): 2-3 cups per 10x20 tray

For 7x14 trays, use about 1/3 of these amounts. Seeds should cover the surface in a single layer with minimal overlap. See our free guides or Masterclass for specific variety charts.

How many trays should I start with as a beginner?

Start with 2-4 trays and stagger planting every 3-4 days. This gives you a continuous harvest and helps you learn the process without waste. Once comfortable, scale up based on your consumption or sales needs.

Read our blog: Where to Start with Growing Microgreens: A Complete Beginner's Guide

What are the fastest microgreens to grow?

If you want the quickest harvest, these varieties are typically ready in under 10 days:

  • Radish: 6-8 days. One of the fastest and easiest to grow. Bold, peppery flavor.
  • Arugula: 7-10 days. Spicy, peppery kick.
  • Broccoli: 8-10 days. Mild flavor, packed with nutrition.
  • Kale: 8-10 days. Mild, versatile, and easy for beginners.
  • Mustard: 7-10 days. Ranges from mild to spicy depending on variety.

Slower varieties like peas (10-14 days), sunflower (10-14 days), and basil (16-21 days) take longer but are worth the wait for their unique flavors and textures.

What are the easiest microgreens for beginners?

If you're just starting out, we recommend beginning with these varieties:

  • Radish: Extremely fast, very forgiving, and germination rates are typically high. A great confidence builder.
  • Broccoli: Easy to grow, inexpensive seeds, and works well on virtually any growing medium.
  • Sunflower: Hearty, satisfying to grow, and produces visually impressive results. Great first "wow" moment.
  • Pea shoots: Hard to mess up, and the large seeds make planting straightforward.

Start with one or two varieties to learn the process before experimenting with more challenging seeds. Our free downloadable PDF guides and YouTube tutorials walk you through everything step by step.

Safety & Quality

Can I use bird seed for microgreens?

Absolutely not. Bird seed is not held to food safety standards and may contain contaminants, pesticides, or pathogens unsafe for human consumption. Always purchase seeds specifically labeled for microgreens or sprouts from reputable suppliers like Trueleaf Market.

Are your growing methods food-safe for selling?

Yes, when followed properly. Our hydroponic methods using reusable grow mediums and bottom-watering reduce contamination risks compared to soil growing. Always:

  • Sanitize equipment between grows
  • Use food-grade seeds from reputable suppliers
  • Maintain proper water quality
  • Follow local health department guidelines for commercial production

How do I know if my microgreens are safe to eat?

Safe microgreens should:

  • Smell fresh (no sour or musty odors)
  • Look vibrant with no visible mold or slime
  • Come from food-grade seeds and clean growing systems
  • Be free from pests

If you see mold, smell anything off, or have any doubts—don't eat them. Prevention through proper growing practices is key.

Can I grow microgreens from seeds I already have (garden seeds, herb seeds, etc.)?

Possibly, but with important cautions. The seeds must be untreated (no fungicide coatings or chemical treatments) and from a plant species that is safe to eat at the seedling stage. Many standard garden seeds are treated with chemicals not intended for human consumption at the sprout/microgreen stage.

Your safest option is always to use seeds specifically labeled for microgreen or sprouting use from a reputable supplier. These seeds are held to food safety standards appropriate for growing crops that will be consumed young. We recommend Trueleaf Market for microgreen-specific seeds.

Never use seeds from nightshade plants (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes), ornamental plants, or any seeds of unknown origin.

Technical Questions

What fertilizer do you recommend?

For hydroponics, we use OceanSolution 2-0-3 at 0.5 oz per gallon. It's OMRI-listed organic, mixes cleanly, and doesn't clog systems.

For soil, we like Fox Farm Ocean Forest or Happy Frog blends, which provide nutrients without additional fertilizer.

Download our Free Fertilizer Ratio Guide

How do I mix hydroponic nutrients for microgreens?

Mixing hydroponic nutrients for microgreens is straightforward. For our recommended fertilizer, OceanSolution 2-0-3, the ratio is 0.5 oz per gallon of water for microgreens. Mix it into your water before bottom-watering and check that the pH is between 5.5-6.0. Adjust with pH up or pH down solution as needed.

If you're using other nutrients like Masterblend or MaxiGro, the mixing ratios differ—always follow the manufacturer's instructions and start with a lower concentration for microgreens than what's recommended for full-size plants. Microgreens have a very short growth cycle and don't need heavy feeding.

A general rule: mix your nutrient water in a clean container, test pH, adjust if needed, and use that solution for all your bottom-watering. Pre-mixing a gallon or two at a time saves daily effort. Replace unused mixed nutrient water after about a week to keep it fresh.

Download our Free Fertilizer Ratio Guide for detailed mixing instructions and ratios.

What's the best temperature for growing microgreens?

Most varieties thrive at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Cooler temperatures slow growth, while temperatures above 80°F can cause poor germination and increased disease pressure.

How often should I water microgreens?

During germination: Mist 1-2 times daily to keep medium moist.

After germination: Bottom-water as needed (usually 1-2 times daily) by adding water to reservoir tray. Medium should stay moist but not waterlogged.

Kratky systems: Check water levels every 2-3 days and refill or refresh as needed.

What's the difference between bottom-watering and top-watering?

Bottom-watering: Water is added to a reservoir tray beneath the grow tray. Roots absorb water from below. Reduces mold risk and keeps foliage dry.

Top-watering: Water applied directly to growing medium with spray bottle or watering can. Good for germination phase but can increase mold risk during growth.

We recommend bottom-watering for best results.

Do I need a heat mat for microgreens?

Most microgreen varieties germinate well at normal room temperature (65-75°F) without a heat mat. However, a heat mat can help in specific situations: if your growing space is consistently below 65°F (like a garage, basement, or unheated room), if you're growing tropical-origin varieties that prefer warmth, or if you want to speed up germination by a day or two.

We've tested heat mats on several crops including sunflower microgreens and found that while they can accelerate the germination phase slightly, the difference in final harvest quality is often minimal when room temperature is already in the 65-75°F range. If your growing space stays within that range, a heat mat is an optional convenience—not a necessity.

If you do use a heat mat, place it under the tray only during the germination/blackout phase (first 3-5 days) and remove it once seeds have sprouted and you transition to light. Leaving it on too long can dry out your medium faster and increase the risk of mold.

Can I reuse growing medium between crops?

Silicone/stainless steel reusable mediums: Yes, clean and sanitize between grows.

Coco coir: Can be reused once or twice if sterilized, but quality degrades. Most growers compost used coco coir.

Soil: Do not reuse. Compost spent soil and start fresh each time.

What grow lights do you recommend for microgreens?

For most home growers, basic full-spectrum LED shop lights work great and are very affordable. Position lights 6-12 inches above your trays and run them for 12-16 hours per day. You don't need expensive specialty grow lights for microgreens—they're not as light-demanding as flowering plants.

For small setups (1-4 trays), a 2-foot LED light works well. For larger rack systems, 4-foot LED shop lights are the standard. Look for lights rated at 6500K (daylight spectrum) for best results.

The most important thing is consistency—microgreens need adequate, consistent light to develop thick stems, vibrant colors, and full flavor. Inadequate light is the number one cause of leggy, pale, underwhelming microgreens. 

You can learn more about Microgreen Lighting here and find links to lights we suggest.

Do I need expensive grow lights, or will cheap LEDs work?

For microgreens, you do not need expensive specialty grow lights. We've tested cheap LED shop lights against dedicated grow lights across multiple crops and the difference in final harvest quality is often minimal for microgreens. Unlike flowering plants that need specific light spectrums to produce fruit, microgreens primarily need adequate, consistent light to develop thick stems and vibrant color during their short 7-14 day growth cycle.

A basic full-spectrum LED shop light rated around 6500K (daylight spectrum), positioned 6-12 inches above your trays and running 12-16 hours per day, will produce excellent microgreens. You can find these at most hardware stores for $15-30. The most important factors are brightness, consistency, and distance from the tray—not the price tag.

That said, if you're running a multi-rack commercial setup, dedicated grow lights with higher output and better efficiency can justify the investment over time through electricity savings and slightly improved crop uniformity.

Read our blog: The Complete Guide to Microgreen Lighting

What's the best water for growing microgreens?

In order of preference:

  • Filtered water: Removes chlorine, chloramine, and sediment. A basic carbon filter works well.
  • Tap water (left to sit 24 hours): Allowing tap water to sit uncovered lets chlorine gas off. Note that this does NOT remove chloramine, which many municipalities now use instead of chlorine.
  • Tap water (direct): Works fine for many growers, depending on local water quality. If you notice poor germination, off flavors, or slow growth, water quality may be a factor.

Avoid distilled water for hydroponic growing—it lacks the trace minerals plants benefit from. If using reverse osmosis water, you'll need to add back minerals through your nutrient solution.

If you suspect water quality issues, consider getting a basic water quality test kit or contacting your local water utility for their annual water quality report.
