Purple Kohlrabi microgreens are commonly harvested approximately 10–15 days after sowing, depending on the growing system, conditions and preferred harvest stage. The seed can be grown in standard production trays using soil, coir, hemp mats or another suitable microgreen medium.

Growing Purple Kohlrabi Microgreens for Commercial Harvest
Use approximately 10–15 g of seed per standard 10 × 20 inch tray as an initial trial range. Fine-tune the rate for your tray dimensions, medium, airflow and target harvest size. Aim for even coverage without dense piles of overlapping seed.
- Prepare trays. Fill with an evenly moistened growing medium, or prepare your chosen growing mat according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Sow evenly. Distribute seed evenly across the surface. Pre-soaking is not normally required.
- Cover for germination. Mist as needed, then cover or stack trays according to your production method.
- Manage moisture. Keep the medium moist without leaving it waterlogged. Germination commonly takes approximately 3–5 days.
- Provide light and airflow. Uncover established seedlings and move trays into suitable natural or artificial light. Maintain good ventilation and monitor moisture closely.
- Harvest cleanly. Cut above the growing medium when the crop reaches your preferred size, commonly around 10–15 days after sowing.
