When Used with Seedling Grow Tray:

30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom

30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom

The 30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom is 275mm wide and 535mm long. The mesh bottom makes this tray suitable for multiple uses.

With its low 30mm height, it can be filled to the brim using only about 4.5 liters of growing medium.

Coco coir based substrates/growing mediums are a very popular choice for growing microgreens at home, as it is a soft and airy medium with great moisture retention. Because the microgreen growing cycle is so short, with the seedling relying mostly on nutrients stored inside the seed itself, adding any supplements or additional nutrients to your substrate is not a necessity at all, although a lot of people do add a little bit of worm castings to their mixes, claiming better results.

Once you have added your substrate into the 30mm Microgreen Tray With Holes, water or mist spray lightly if the substrate is on the dry side and tamp the substrate down very lightly by hand, to get it to settle and flatten out nicely. Then gently sprinkle your seeds across the surface. Once this is done, a VERY thin layer of additional substrate may be sprinkled over the top of the seeds (using a baking sieve, for example)

Place the trays into a suitable environment for germination and mist or spray the top of the substrate regularly to prevent it from drying out. (A propagation dome will help keep substrate moist until your seeds have germinated, saving you a lot of effort. Remove the ). Do not overspray, as this will cause overly wet “swampy” subsurface conditions! Just keep the substrate slightly moist at all times.

Once your seeds have sprouted and grown to a harvestable size, you are able to clip off the delicious micro-leaves for your dishes and salads with a pair of pruning scissors.

30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom trays can also be used for other home and hobby purposes, like sifting out Mealworm Beetles if you are breeding them, or to sift grains, seeds, Perlite, etc.

If you are looking to generate healthy root mass quickly, we recommend using Cosmocel Cosmoroot Rooting Promoter as early feeding for clones and seedlings.

Cosmoroot promotes and strengthens root formation and root development. Cosmoroot is a Bio-stimulant and should be used in conjunction with a regular nutrient feeding plan.

To increase yields you need to increase root mass. The bigger the root mass the more nutrients can be absorbed by the plant. A good root system results in healthy vascular tissue formation, this means well developed fruit or flowers. Roots synthesize the hormones responsible for cell division and enlargement, so the more roots you have the bigger the yield.

Sowing Tray Without Holes

Sowing Tray Without Holes

This multi-purpose Sowing Tray Without Holes can be used for cultivating microgreens and sprouting seeds in a range of grow medium. Ideal for placing multiple small seedling trays inside or can be used for water catchment for larger pots.

Size: 35cm x 48cm x 7cm

How to germinate seeds

Each type of seed has slightly different growing requirements, but the basics are the same:

  1. Use shallow containers (5 to 8cm deep) with drainage holes. It is easiest to monitor moisture in containers that are no more than  8cm deep and they require less growing medium!
  2. Use a lightweight seedling mix. These mixes are made primarily of ground peat moss or with coco coir as a base, and have sometimes been sterilized, so they are less apt to contain weed seeds, fungi, and bacteria that may hamper growth than garden soil. These mixes also provide good drainage, providing both the aeration and moisture seedlings need. Avoid using garden soil, as it won’t provide sufficient aeration and can introduce disease-causing organisms.
  3. Moisten the seedling mix before placing it in containers, like the Sowing Tray Without Holes. If you can squeeze a handful of the mix and water comes out, it is too wet and you’ll need to add more of the dry mix. The ideal moisture level feels like a well-wrung sponge.
  4. Fill the containers with moistened seedling mix to about 1.5 to 2.5cm  below the rim of the container. Rap the container against the counter top to settle the mix.
  5. Follow the recommended planting depth on the seed packet when sowing seeds. This is generally 1-1/2 to 2 times the width of the seed. However some seeds need light to germinate and must be “surface sown” meaning they should simply pressed into the surface of the potting mix and not be covered at all; the seed packet will note if this is the case.
  6. Water seeds after planting using the mist setting on a spray bottle to avoid dislodging seeds with a strong stream of water. Check daily to make sure the mix is stays even moist, but not soggy. Seeds must stay moist in order to germinate properly.
  7. If the air in your room is very dry, you can maintain adequate moisture for germination by creating a tent over the pots or flats with clear plastic wrap. Prop the plastic wrap off the surface of the planting mix using Popsicle sticks or other ‘posts’ so seedlings don’t stick to it. Remove any coverings gradually as germination begins.
  8. Most seeds germinate best in warm conditions. Although average room temperature (21°C) is generally adequate for most seed germination, you’ll get faster and more consistent germination if you place newly seeded containers in a warm spot (21 to 26 degrees C) or on top of a heat mat (available from garden stores). With the right conditions, most garden seeds should germinate in 7 to 14 days (unless otherwise noted on the seed packet). Once seeds have germinated and produced their first set of true leaves (the very first you see are called seed leaves, and all that grow after that are true leaves), move containers of seedlings off the heat mats.
  9. Good light is essential. Once you see the first signs of germination, move the seed trays to a light-filled area. Seedlings need full sun from a south- or west-facing window or, even better, CFL lights positioned 5cm – 15cm above the foliage. Use a timer to keep fluorescent lights on for 12 to 16 hours a day. Suspend the light fixtures so that you can move them up as your plants grow, keeping them a consistent height above the tops of the seedlings. Leggy or pale green seedlings are an indication that plants need more light. If your seedlings are growing on a windowsill, rotate containers regularly to keep plants from reaching toward the light source.
  10. Keep the soil moist but never wet, as this encourages rot. At first, lightly mist the soil. Once seedlings emerge, place the containers in a tray and water from the bottom to encourage deep root development. Check daily and do not let the soil mix dry out.
  11. Wait to fertilize until the seedlings’ true leaves (the second set) appear. Then use a weak solution which will help the seedlings develop a strong root system.
  12. When seedlings have one to three sets of true leaves and are about 5cm tall, transplant them to a deeper container for growing on until planting time.

Rooting plant cuttings is like performing magic tricks in the garden…

Valuable grow info from CANNA: HERE

You take a snip from a plant, wave your green thumb wand, and voilà! A new plant is born! Well, almost. It’s more like a science experiment meets a gardening adventure. You carefully select a healthy stem or leaf cutting, strip it of some excess baggage (aka extra leaves), and plop it into a cozy rooting medium—be it water or soil or a “glue plug”. Then, it’s all about providing the right conditions, like a plant spa day. You sprinkle a dash of sunlight, a splash of water, and a sprinkle of love. Before you know it, those little cuttings start sprouting roots like they’ve got places to grow! It’s like witnessing tiny miracles unfold right before your eyes. And hey, who knows, maybe one day you’ll have a whole garden of plants cloned from your green thumb genius. Just don’t forget to wear your magician’s hat while you’re at it!

Narrow Budget Large Propagator

Narrow Budget Large Propagator

Narrow Budget Large Propagator

The outside dimensions of this humidity dome is approx. 24 cm (H), 28 cm (W),  54 cm (L).

The INSIDE dimensions of the tray cavity is approx. 49cm x 24cm x 5cm. Dome lid is about 18cm high.

This narrower humidity dome DOES NOT fit larger seedlings trays and one will have to get creative with a box-cutter and some seedling trays to optimize the entire dome area in a lot of cases! Examples below…

Narrow Tray housing 6-cell Seedling trays

 

Using a humidity dome like the Narrow Budget Large Propagator when propagating plant clones or cuttings is an essential step to ensure successful rooting. Start by selecting healthy, disease-free parent plants and trim them to include a few leaves and a node where roots will emerge. Dip the cut end of each cutting into a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development and improve success rates. Insert the cuttings into a growing medium such as peat, perlite, or a soilless mix, ensuring each cutting is firm and stable. Place the cuttings inside a propagation tray and cover them with a humidity dome. The dome helps maintain high humidity levels, crucial for preventing the cuttings from drying out since they lack roots to absorb water.

Position the tray in a location with indirect light or use a grow light set to a low intensity to avoid scorching the tender cuttings. Aim to keep the humidity levels inside the dome around 90-100% for the first few days, then gradually reduce it to 80-85% as roots begin to develop. Monitor the moisture of the growing medium and mist the cuttings if necessary to maintain adequate humidity. Ventilate the dome periodically to allow fresh air exchange, which helps prevent mold and fungal growth. Once the cuttings have established roots, usually within 1-3 weeks, you can begin acclimating them to the external environment by gradually increasing the time the dome is removed each day.
