Know before you buy
Yes, the trays are made from durable, food-grade, BPA-free plastic designed for repeated use. Because they are dishwasher safe, you can easily sanitize them between harvests to prevent mold or bacteria buildup.
The kit includes five 1020 shallow trays that act as reservoirs. You place the 5x5 trays with drainage holes inside these larger trays, allowing the soil to absorb water from the bottom up, which keeps the foliage dry and reduces the risk of damping off.
While microgreens can grow on a sunny windowsill, the optional 40W LED grow light is recommended for consistent, year-round results. It ensures your greens receive the specific light intensity needed to prevent them from becoming leggy or weak.
These trays are designed for soil-based cultivation. You can use standard seed-starting mix or coconut coir, both of which provide the necessary structure and moisture retention for microgreens to thrive.
The color-coding system helps you stay organized when growing multiple varieties at once. It allows you to easily track different planting dates or crop types, which is especially helpful since microgreens have varying harvest windows.
Absolutely. The kit is designed for simplicity, requiring no assembly and using a straightforward manual watering method. The shallow tray design also promotes better airflow, which makes it easier for beginners to achieve a successful first harvest.
