Common growing questions
Before you start
How soon can I harvest?
Many supplied sprouts take about 3–5 days and many supplied microgreens about 5–7. Some crops take longer. Follow your seed instructions; temperature and growing conditions also affect timing.
Do I need special lights or lots of space?
Most of our kits fit on a kitchen counter. Sprouts do not need special growing lights. Microgreens need suitable natural or artificial light after germination; follow your kit guide.
Which kit should I choose?
Choose jars or trays for whole sprouts, a bamboo kit for mat-grown microgreens, or a ceramic kit for soil-grown microgreens.
While you grow
Is the white fuzz root hair or mold?
Fine hairs can form around roots, but appearance alone cannot confirm a crop is safe. Do not eat a crop with suspected mold, slime or an unusual smell. Send our growing team a photo if you’re unsure.
Why are my sprouts slimy?
Discard slimy or unusually smelling sprouts. Clean the growing system before starting again, follow the seed instructions and drain thoroughly between rinses.
What if my seeds do not sprout?
Check the seed variety’s preparation instructions, moisture and temperature. Avoid waterlogging or letting the medium dry out. Contact us with your kit and seed details for help.
Between crops
Can I reuse the kit or hemp mat?
Clean and dry reusable kit components between crops. Start each bamboo-kit crop with a fresh hemp mat and fresh seeds.
