SPROUTS
How you grow Sprouts
Sprouts are ripe in just 2-6 days. They are harvested either when they have a short root or when they unfold the first set of small leaves.
To grow Sprouts you need Seeds + Water + SproutPearl.
Step 1-6 show how to grow your own fresh Sprouts.
MICROGREENS
How you grow Microgreens
You can grow your Microgreens in a SproutPearl in 12-14 days.
You will need: Seeds + Water + SproutPearl + Light + Fertilizer for microgreens.
When you grow Microgreens instead of Sprouts, each plant grows larger.
You use the same seeds for both plant sizes.
The start of growing Microgreens is just like if you grow Sprouts. So follow the guide above till day 6 – but remember there need to be fewer seeds per cm2.
Microgreens are larger than Sprouts. There should be 1/5 fewer plants when you grow Microgreens compared to Sprouts. Thin out the plants if necessary.
Your Microgreens still need to be constantly slightly moist but not wet around the roots. So give them a quick rinse with drinkable water morning and evening.
To grow Sprouts into the larger Microgreens, the plants must have light from an LED growth bulb from day 7 of their growth.
Rinse the plants as usual and finish each morning rinse by spraying fertilizer on the roots from day 7 and until harvest.
On day 12-14 you can harvest your microgreens. Rinse thoroughly and remove roots. Eat only stems + leaves.
