• Place one sheet of microgreen fiber paper in         

  each open microgreen profile.

• Switch on the water so that your fiber paper is       

  soaked. ( it is a soft trickle not a gush, use blue     

    taps to adjust the trickle)

• Scatter your seeds densely onto the fiber paper.     

  (You can use an old salt shaker or spice pots with

  holes in the top works well)

• Note your microjet tubes should continuously       

  slowly dripfeed the Nutrient Water to your             

  seeds. (blue taps adjust the trickle)

• Cover your seeds so that they are in darkness         

  for  1 – 2 days until you see they have                       

  germinated (cardboard works very well)

• pH 6.5 is the ideal

• Remove your microgreens from the dark room and you   

   will start seeing the seeds germinating. (Depending on   

   seed type, some seeds may germinate before others.)

• Make sure your NFT microjet drip irrigation slowly             

   trickle continuously 24 hours a day to keep

   your grower medium moist.

• If you detect mold you have too much moisture on           

   your seeds.

Monitor your airflow, watering and seed density to control mold issues.

Simply watch your microgreens grow.

You can now clearly see which seeds have germinated before others, we suggest that you

keep the same type of seeds in the one NFT profile for ease of harvesting.

 When harvesting they are best cut with very sharp scissors or shears.

They should be cut above the substrate/media high enough so as to avoid contamination and or

contact with the media that they are grown in.

A small stub of the plant should be all that is left behind • They bruise very easily so a gentle hand is

required.

Carefully place them into small plastic containers for sale.

For anyone who cares about our

resources , it ’s not difficult to obtain

research about the “carbon footprint” of

food transportation and the many other

ways in which we harm our environment

through producing our food. It is clear

that we cannot continue the way we have

always produced food. NFT Hydro, as the

manufacturers and suppliers of

Hydroponic NFT Systems and equipment

has become a key part of the shift change

around the world to meet the demand for

higher yield and address consumers ’

concern for the environment.
