Horticraft Holland Microgreens Cheat Sheet 2020

During the blackout period light is not needed, however, humidity and water are. Blackout times depend on the type
of microgreen. After this period, you generally need to provide your microgreens with 8 hours of LED light per day
as the sole light source. Check your plants daily, especially for mold or roots hairs. Microgreens do not regrow.
Thoroughly clean your trays before using them again to prevent diseases, pests, molds, etc.
