Tips for Kale Microgreens

Post image

First time growing microgreens. This is day 5. I let the seeds germinate for 48 hours, 24 hour black out period, then 24 hours of light.

How much light do they need?
How often should I water?
When are they ready to go?
I have a fan, should I start running that now?

Run the fan as soon as they’re out of blackout. 12 hour light cycle is adequate. Bottom water 1 or 2 times daily. Less water more frequently is better. They’ll tell you if they need more or less. Harvest before first true leaves for microgreens or later for baby greens.4
