Important Notes
This guide uses 10x20 trays. If you're working with Sprouting Trays or our 7x14 trays, grab our Free Tray Specific Microgreen Seeding Guide instead—it covers those tray sizes with adjusted seeding rates.
Reusable Grow Mediums not included: This guide was created before we extensively tested silicone and stainless steel reusable grow mediums, so they're not listed under "Suggested Grow Medium." For guidance on which seeds work best with reusable mediums, check out this blog post and scroll to the reusable grow medium section.
Your results may vary: This guide is based on our growing experience in Zone 8a. Variables like temperature, humidity, lighting, and specific seed batches can affect your grow times and yields. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your environment.
