💧 Watering Microgreens the Smart Way
Getting watering right is half the battle in microgreens. Here is the framework I use and teach:
1. Germination (Days 0-3)
Level the soil so it is flat and even, sow your seeds, give it top watering, then cover with the blackout Tray. The lid traps humidity and keeps the seed coat soft without further watering. DO NOT PEAK
2. Daylight Wake-Up (First 24 h after uncovering)
Give one gentle top mist to help loosen hulls. Think “morning dew,” not a rainstorm.
3. Growing On (until harvest)Switch to bottom watering once a day. Pour just enough water into the boot tray, let it settle, then place the growing tray on top. Roots sip what they need, stems stay dry, and mold risks stay low.
Quick checkpoints
- Wilted tips? Add a second bottom feed.
- Yellowing or slimy spots? You are overdoing it, skip the next session and improve airflow.
- Hot summer room? Water early morning and again mid-afternoon; cooler seasons often need only one pass.
Your turn
How often are you watering right now, and what tray depth or medium are you using?
