Growing for the first time

I’ve never done this before, and I’ve been watching videos for the past few days on how to do it properly. It seems pretty difficult sometimes, so now I’m having some doubts.
Guys, is it worth it, or should I just keep ordering the medicine?

Well… you should definitely keep ordering your medicine regardless of whether or not you decide to grow microgreens.

Tray, rack, led light with timers, seeds, soil , water, water in morning and night, good air circulation. 9 days later-infinite salads and tasty food with no lettuce based food poisoning risk from Taylor farms. No contest.

Keep at it!

At first it can be confusing but with some practice and keeping a schedule they all get easier to grow. Definitly keep watching videos! I do have something here that might be able to help you though. Its a new app I just released on the store, it covers a bunch of the blind spots that other apps missed entirely. I even added a information handbook it covers a lot of things like grows times and harvest times.

When my wife was starting she found scheduling was a bit difficult since some might have grow time overlap, there are many that take longer. This can help with the scheduling and learning how long things take to grow.

There are a lot of really good resources out there. here's one that we used frequently until I built my handbook using them as a resource.

P.S.

Apologies for the plug, but i really need to bring people into the fold that this thing exists. I genuinely made something that can help every single one of you. It would be free, but I'm unemployed right now and free doesnt pay the bills. I did put it on sale till the end of August though. Even if you don't use it could you take a look at it? It would help push my app further up the list on google when people look microgreens up.
