Instructions for use
Fill the sprouting tray with tap water up to the bottom of the grid.
Sprinkle the seeds on the grid with a little space between them.
Place the germination tray at room temperature, in a light spot, but not in full sun.
Check the water level daily and top up to the grid if necessary. As long as the seeds do not have any roots, they should remain moist, but not soaked.
After three to four days, the seeds with their radicles are attached to the grid and you can change the cloudy water. Keep checking the water level daily. The radicles should be in the water, but keep the seedlings dry. This reduces the chance of problems with mold.
The radicle roots above the grid can look a bit fluffy after a few days. It looks like mold fluff, but it is usually root hairs. Root hairs grow in a nice circle from the radicle roots and disappear when you wet them with a plant sprayer.
The brown seed coats remain on the seedlings for a long time. Some do not fall off at all, you have to help them out yourself.
After 9 to 12 days the seedlings are 8 to 10 cm long and can be harvested. Cut them off with scissors just above the grid.

Saving seeds

Store seeds in a cool, dry and dark place, such as a sealed box in a cupboard. Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and use them before that time. If the packaging has been opened, make sure it is sealed properly and check the germination capacity before use.

You can easily test the germination capacity of seeds with a germination test :

  1. Place a few seeds (for example 10) on a damp piece of kitchen paper.
  2. Fold the paper towel closed and place it in a plastic bag or place it in a sealed container.
  3. Place it in a warm place, such as on the windowsill.
  4. After a few days, check to see if the seeds have started to germinate.
