Growing Notes:
Microgreen seeds are a faster and healthier alternative to growing mature fruiting crops while just doing so in only 7-10 days. Most microgreen seeds and sunflower sprouts are ready to harvest at about 3-4" tall after the shoots have developed true leaves and plenty of falvorful green chlorophyll.

If you've never had any experience sprouting microgreen seeds, perhaps try a smaller microgreens batch such as a 5x5 insert until more comfortable to fill out an entire 10x10 or 10x20 microgreens tray.

Regardless of size, fill the tray half full with a soil-based or hydroponic medium of your choosing.

It's recommended to seed about 9 oz of presoaked Black Oil sunflower seeds over an entire 10x20 sprouting tray prepared with your growing medium.

While this is only a recommended seeding rate, simply add one even layer of presoaked seeds to the top of your soil before covering with no more than an inch of soil.
