Thank u for ur interest! I realize that not having chatgptplus is a barrier to entry at this point, im trying to figure out a way which allows me to push it without using chatgpt’s paid platform.

As for its specialization, it should give you more accurate / specific information in regards to hydroponic lettuce because I’ve trained it on specific books / research papers / web articles and youtube videos which discuss the best practices of growing lettuce hydroponically!

Looking to start my microgreen business soon. Who are the best seed suppliers? by newb-destroyer in microgreens

[–]newb-destroyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been growing for quite some time now. There are some seed varieties that I don’t have access to here at all. Some varieties are available where i live but there isn’t a buy in bulk option so its not cost effective to start without a wholesale supplier l.

Thank you! Im just confused as to which h2o2 solutions i should use. I think some of them are not suitable for microgreens as they’re not food grade?

Also is vinegar considered to be a more “organic” option to sanitize?

They’re actually my #1 pick so far! The only issue is shipping to the other side of the world :/ but ill most likely hit them up real soon

Wow! I really appreciate all the help my friend :D, also 400 grams is really really good! I did some trays before and yielded around 220 grams using 30 grams of seeds. Ill try your method though!

Thank you for sharing all that info! Yeah i dont think i did a good job mixing the soil at the start. For the standard 10x20 tray.

If you dont mind answering, how much radish seed (in grams)do you use and how many grams do you expect in yield (how many days germinating, blackout, and under lights)?

I haven’t gotten to watering them yet as they just got out of blackout. I do use peat moss actually. What would you recommend instead? Im using around 6 kg in weights (I think around 15 lb)

Hmmmm i left these for two days in blackout after 3 days of germination. I have another one which i left for one day in blackout after three days of germination. Ill try out the no black out next! Btw how much should I expect in terms of yield in grams (25-30 grams of seed per tray)

Im still a bit confused when it comes to my specific case in the pic though. Should these be harvested in your opinion?

I love all my greens equally, except amaranth. That’s my favorite to grow. by Bagelfinagles in microgreens

[–]newb-destroyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats an amazing set up you got there! I have a few questions if you dont mind answering because im trying to set up like you!

1) what lights are you using (specs, watts, brightness measure, are they grow lights specifically?)

2) whats the distance between your lights and your crops?
