1) Assemble all your materials. |
| |
2) Fill the 10x20 flat with holes with Grow-cubes in a 1/2 inch layer. Place that in the flat without holes. |
| |
|
3) Fill the flats with water so that the Grow-cubes soak well. Pick up the flat with Grow-cubes and let it drain well to waste. Place it back in the flat with no holes.
|
| |
4) Spread your wheatgrass seeds or micro green seeds evenly over the Grow-cubes. |
| |
5) Place the humidity dome over the flat. Keep your flat in a warm area under some light. T5 fluorescent lights (optional) work great indoors. You won't need to water any before the seeds sprout. |
| |
6) You may need to keep the cubes moist after the seeds have sprouted. Use water with very little plant food. In a little over a week, you will be able to harvest your crop. |
