Scheduling/Planning/Time management - getting what has to be done out of my head and onto a planner/calendar with time actually slotted out in the calendar, not just a task.
🚀 A Simple Way to Increase Your Microgreens Yields
One of the easiest ways to boost yield (without spending a dollar more) is to track your watering amounts per tray. Most growers over or under-water without realizing it. Here’s what I suggest: 1️⃣ Use a measuring cup or small bucket to know exactly how much water you add per tray. 2️⃣ Keep a quick note each day: same tray, same seed, same light height. 3️⃣ After harvest, note which trays gave you the best yield and look for patterns. You’ll be surprised how consistent your trays become once you dial in watering amounts. It’s one of those small habits that separate hobby growers from business growers. 👉 What’s your current method for watering a spray bottle, cup, or hose?

We use a hose, but have measured gpm and count seconds per tray for each watering

How to Store Microgreens for Maximum Shelf Life
Keeping your microgreens fresh starts with how you handle them right after harvest. 1. Harvest clean, dry microgreens. Do not rinse before storage. 2. Store in airtight containers only, never breathable containers. 3. Keep them cold in the fridge, ideally between 35°F and 38°F. 4. Label your containers so you know exactly when they were packed. Done right, you can get a solid 10to 14 days of freshness, which keeps customers coming back for more. What is your go-to storage container for your microgreens?

Before actually packing up into individual clamshells, we store in large food grade Rubbermaid bins.

@Mark Parker We have tried both ways and found that if we harvest into large bins and refrigerate a few hours, the greens have time to produce any condensation, so when we pack up the individual orders into clamshells, there is no condensation to deal with. I small extra step, but works best for us. We are careful not to harvest wet, but this extra step takes out the remaining moisture from condensation and increases shelf life based on our tests and feedback from our customers.
Sunflower Microgreens: Big Seeds, Big Flavor, Big Sales
If you want a crop that sells itself, sunflower microgreens are a great choice. They’re nutty, crunchy, and ready in about 10 days. Here’s how to grow them: 1. Soak seeds for 12 hours in cool water. 2. Sow them thickly in a shallow tray with drainage holes. 3. Cover for 3 days to germinate, then uncover and give them light. 4. Water from the top at first, then switch to bottom watering to keep them clean. Customers love them on sandwiches, in salads, or just as a snack. Their size makes them eye-catching at markets and easy to handle when packaging. Have you tried growing sunflowers yet? How did your first tray turn out?

We grow them regularly. They are growing a few days faster than the rest of our 10 day crops
