This is gold! Exactly what I needed as I’ve started growing micro-greens for my daily energy soup. Will also be teaching my colon hydrotherapy clients about living foods in a new program I’m doing. Thank you for all the valuable information. 🙏

Loved this video and will be rewatching again! I'd like to do something like this too. People are natural creators and want to grow things and be close to the land and we need to get kids and all people involved in this again! I'm a firm believer in everyone creating their own backyard garden to feed themselves the most nutritious food picked at just the right time and w/o any pesticides so it will keep you much healthier than store bought food!

Awesome video! Growing micro greens and mushrooms are what I am looking to learn to do this year in my apartment. Obviously, I have to scale down, I'm only growing for me. Thank you for this video, I just found out about you on the Markus Rothkranz channel, that was an awesome interview! I need to show this to my son!

This is so awesome--but I'm going to assume doing this in the garage works only if you're in a climate similar to Los Angeles. I live in Utah and rent--so I'm assuming I'd have to do this in one of my rooms. Thank for all the videos you do do!

I would add micronized minerals to the water. So the micro greens can absorb it and be nutrient dense

Interesting the lights are so far from the plants. I thought the lights should be closer. Maybe it's simply not worth the work & equipment expense to make the lights adjustable.

Oh my goodness, it’s been a hectic few years John. So it’s been a while since I’ve watched your videos. And honestly I forgot your last name and I’m like oh my God I need some John I just need his last name and then I have checked out juicing videos, and then juicer videos and then I found you and then I’m like oh I put in John and then your last name popped up and I guess that’s his last name. And now I can watch your videos again.

@growingyourgreens

It you could sleep in the greenhouse overnight comfortably, then YES. That being said, if using sunlight and not lighting, daylight gets significantly shorter in the winter, so grow times would be increased. I recommend growing them IN YOUR living space, as that would be BEST so you can better control climate factors.

what nutrients are these microgreens absorbing from paper towels?

The nutrients comes from the nutrients they add to the water. Its called hydro growing, or soil-less.

Am aquarium air pump does not add any more oxygen into the water. To increase oxygen it must be injected into the water from a pressurized tank. Do you disagree?

I enjoy these videos but I'm confident in my growing skills. Microbe are more about your organizational/ timing skills than your green thumb. My question that I've never seen you answer is about marketing. Growing 50# off microgreens is useless without outlets. How do you get customers before you start wasting greens?

I stopped watching your videos because of this typical format. You hog all the camera time and show your interpretation of how someone does something instead of just letting them talk and show us. it makes no sense. I really don't want to see your interpretation of their processes, while throwing in tmi comments about your bathroom habits.
