How to Grow Mustard Microgreens
- Pre-soak seeds: No presoaking required.
- Sow rate: Approx. 12 grams for a 10 x 10′ grow tray.
- Grow medium: hemp mats, soil, or coir peat.
- Seed germination temperature: 8-25°C.
- Method: If growing with soil, you’ll need to add 3-4 cm of soil and flatten the medium. Spread the seeds evenly over the soil. Press gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
- Watering: Water well with a spray mister. Ensure that the medium is damp but not waterlogged.
- Cover and germinate: Cover the tray with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct light. This helps in germination, usually taking 2-3 days.
- Weight the tray: Yes.
- Remove cover: Once the seeds have germinated, remove the cover and place the tray in a location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights.
- Watering: Water the microgreens lightly once or twice daily, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy.
- Harvest: Your microgreens will be ready to harvest in approximately 8-14 days after sowing. Look for the first true leaves to appear, which indicate they are mature enough for harvest.
Harvesting involves cutting the microgreens just above the soil level using clean scissors or a sharp knife. Rinse them gently to remove any soil particles before consuming.
