How to Grow Your Urban Sprouts Microgreens

1. Add water to your coco coir until it reaches a moist, fluffy texture.
2. Fill your tray evenly with 1–2 inches of growing medium.
3. Lightly press the surface flat—firm but not compacted.
4. Mist the surface thoroughly before sowing seeds.

• Broccoli
• Radish
• Mustard
• Arugula
• Amaranth
• Wasabi

Soak for 6–12 hours:

• Sunflower
• Speckled Pea

After soaking, drain and rinse seeds well.

1. Spread seeds evenly across the tray surface.
2. Aim for full coverage without excessive overlapping.
3. Gently mist seeds after sowing.
4. Cover with your second tray (or blackout dome).

This encourages strong root growth and even germination.

• Keep seeds covered
• Mist 1–2 times daily
• Keep medium moist, not soggy
• Check daily for germination

Tip: Bottom watering helps prevent mold.

Once most seeds have sprouted and pushed upward:

• Remove cover
• Place under grow lights for 12–16 hours/day
• Keep lights 8–18 inches above canopy
• Ensure airflow with a small fan if possible

Pour water into the bottom tray and allow roots to absorb moisture.

• Overwatering
• Standing water
• Excessive humidity without airflow

• Broccoli: 8–10 days
• Radish: 7–9 days
