As a scientist & an overall crazy plant person you’d think I’ve tried everything BUT that’s not the case. I’ve never tried micro greens, sprouts or baby greens before... so in this video I dive head first into the process. Thanks to my Mars Hydro sponsorship I am able to try this out using their TS1000 light and grow tent. The results are shocking to say the least.

I break all the rules when it comes to growing micro greens in soil. I use straight peat moss due to is acidity and ability to ward off both bacteria and fungi. I space the micro greens and baby sprouts very close together. I don’t use a tray on top of my micro greens. and I didn’t store them in a dark room.
