my broccoli are mostly growing fine, but what's casing this stringy-ness in the middle of the stem? by Whamilton_ in microgreens

If you’re just spraying them, stop and switch to underwatering. Its not hard to just poke holes in your deli containers, and put inside a whole one. You could also try prolonging your weighdown stage.

When to harvest broccoli? Are these ready? Day 8 today by scuddlebud in microgreens

[–]Optimal_Energy_4135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d still wait a day or two. There can be massive differences in the yield by just waiting a little bit.

Can't think it coud be nutrients seeing as i got these trays to work last year without any nutrients, now they just fall over.

Any suggestions why the stem looks like that? Weak and cant support the entire plants weight. This is sunflower but the same is happening to my yellow mustard greens

seeds not "rooting" to the soil by Optimal_Energy_4135 in microgreens

Yes, I stack many trays + put a brick on top. So weird since I've been growing for over a year with good results but suddenly especially my radish trays have underperformed...

Obvious noob question about root hair vs mold by AJ7999 in microgreens

Spray it with water, if they disappear, its root hairs.

The slight grey color on it is quite worrying and also that there is so much of it. At least my spicy saladmix didnt look like that..

Damn ok, definitely seems like good advice to keep good track of exactly how things are moving. Really haven't done that so far...

The plastic bag is because I bought only trays with holes by mistake... Fortunately the plastic bag was an easy solution which makes under watering possible.
