We all know it’s sometimes difficult to sell a product that no one understands. It’s hard to prove a point about a vegetable if you don’t have a back up on paper. So I made a deal with my dietitian and physician to find out if microgreens really work like it is claimed online and by other users. As we needed a prove on paper by actually testing bloodwork we tested mine in August of 2025. As I already knew my cholesterol, LDL and Triglycerides were very high it was either trust on medication or microgreens! I had to back up my own bullshit as we say and go above their knowledge that the greens are the solution! I started using red cabbage mid September. I barely used broccoli kale and arugula and I do need to add them now as not everything was perfect. My Hemoglobin is still high and didn’t change and broccoli and kale will solve that issue. I also don’t eat the microgreens every day but more closely 4 out of 7 days per week. But these are the results of my blood work from Wednesday. It still needs to come down more but I can prove with this that it does work!! If I use it daily including broccoli kale and arugula I can bring down all for my bloodwork. You can use my chart to make your point to future clients.

Absolutely dead on... I agree entirely... also, if you throw a bunch of capital in and you make mistakes, you loose much more too. Starting small allows you to experiment, make some mistakes, and tweak your systems to be the most efficient as possible... as you grow and add some automation its a linear climb forward.
Growing strawberries in nft systems 🍓
Been growing a lot of edible flowers on our small nft trolley system but I am thinking if we should begin growing strawberries on it. The system is perfect for strawberries 🍓 Should we make a video series for strawberries? 🍓

Are gnats an issue with hydroponics. I know a friend started growing strawberries in microgreen trays with soil and at a certain stage, gnats were unbearable and he quite.

@Vertical Greens Sounds great... That is why I was wondering if because gnats are soil based, that they would not be an issue for hydroponics. You are correct, nature will always come up with another pest when it deems necessary :-) Thank you
