Growing Sunflower Microgreens with Grassroots Farms:

2. Germination Glory: After soaking, evenly spread the seeds across moistened Grassroots Farms Peat Pucks and gently press them into the medium. Cover your tray to create a humid environment that fosters germination, and ensure consistent moisture levels and ample light exposure.
3. Nurturing Nuggets: Monitor moisture levels closely to prevent overwatering or fungal issues. Provide proper airflow around the microgreens to prevent mold or damping-off, and avoid overcrowding of seeds.
