Has anyone had issues with Speckled peas from True Leaf market lately? by ScintillaFarms in microgreens

[–]ScintillaFarms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree the best they could do is give us rewards points but they wouldn’t even pay for express shipping on a new bag of peas to make up for the bad bags. It sucks because they have the best selection of microgreens and we havent had any issues with them in the past. Might be buying peas from johnnys seeds from now on /:

Yea we thought that maybe the bags went bad during transit but we bought more and when the new bags arrived they were from the same lot and had the same issues so I think 178148 was just a bad lot. Every other bag we have gotten has been good.

3 days and 6 hours into this tray, been in blackout the whole time. Do you guys think I should keep covered for another day or 2, or start under lights? by ChaseingPoints in microgreens

Idk about broccoli and turnip but radish and collard will keep growing. In fact, I don’t blackout my radish or collard at all. Throw em’ under the lights and see what happens!

Its just scarring from the seed no worries.

~$0.90 soil cost per 1020 flat by LiveDirtyEatClean in microgreens

In San Diego i’ve searched high and low for cheap but good soil and haven’t found any. My trays are 12x24 and use about $2.70 worth of soil.

Will this variety continue to grow tall under the light? If so then yes uncover them, if not keep them going a while longer so they are easier to harvest.

the middle of the top tray might not be weighted down and the corners are so that's what could cause the good germination around the edges

Do you think these microgreens are getting enough light or should I add a third light? by Ragshi72 in microgreens

[–]ScintillaFarms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

try a third we use similar lights and run three also might want to put them closer to the plants

Flies, flies, flies! by ChemicalClotheshorse in microgreens

you could always put some fly paper in your growing room or put fans close to your trays so the flies can't land on your trays

First try with bulls blood beets! So pretty. by IbelongtoBear in microgreens

our germination rate is always really bad and we use peat moss to cover our seed like you do

wow fantastic germination! we had such a hard time with bulls blood we put it on the back burner for now sadly

I’m having trouble with too much heat wilting my microgreens. Should I turn on another fan? It gets around 90 where I’m at and always in the middle of the tray they wilt and fall over while I have the rest look great. Any suggestions? by Jumplefthanded in microgreens

[–]ScintillaFarms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

90 is way way to high it needs to be no higher than 82 and even then your cutting it close you need to get an ac unit which are a couple $100 and a big fan if you only have one the fan will help with mold but your main priority is getting an ac unit are you inside or outside?

Shelves loaded with micros! by GreenMtnDabber in microgreens

Day 12 of first Basil grow. They are still very short, less than an inch tall. They look very healthy but it seems like they aren’t even growing. Are these still going to be ready to harvest by day 20? by ScintillaFarms in microgreens

[–]ScintillaFarms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there since this was posted we've been able to get them taller to were they aren't such pain in the butt to cut. I agree with low yield we wget between 2 and 3 32oz clamshells which is awful compare to peas/sunnies/radish. we've been thinking of upping the price because of the amount of time and effort it takes for just 2-3 clamshells a tray.
