I definitely recommend starting with coco coir! I have tried several substrates and this has been the best by far. It's especially great if you have had a mold problem in the past. I get mine on Amazon (here is the link) and just keep the extra in a bucket.

Lol, I tried to figure out the same thing. About a year ago, the best I could tell, he was using this stuff, at least the product pictures matched. Not sure if this observation is still accurate. I think I did a Google reverse image lookup to find it.

The first roll I got was awesome. Nice and thick, with the latex that holds it together on only one side. I had great results growing on it.

The second roll, in the exact same packaging, was not good at all. Very thin, stiff, and tightly packed with a ton of latex on both sides. Had worse yields and battled more mold. Was very weird how different the two rolls were.

super hard to find shelves on amazon when looking for a specific size, judging by comments here these aren't too bad

I am looking to start growing as well and think I may head to a real store and try to save 20-30 bucks on an in store sale.

$94.99 for the racks here, saves you $13/rack https://www.amazon.com/BestOffice-Wire-Shelving-Unit-Heavy/dp/B019GNRJPU/ref=pd_cp_196_1/136-6914250-4405500?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B019GNRJPU&pd_rd_r=fa7d27d5-0f83-4b35-b261-11039a1d7607&pd_rd_w=eqX9E&pd_rd_wg=jRQqc&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=C6ZS1F0B4NF4KB5TVE2S&psc=1&refRID=C6ZS1F0B4NF4KB5TVE2S


If you're willing to (and have the tools already/not having to buy them), you could always build your racks from wood. Using basic 2x4's you could do it pretty cheap.


Check FB marketplace or craigslist or whatever it is you have up there for used shop lights. I got 5 for $20 like new.


good luck!

Light is fine but $70 for one is very expensive. Check Amazon, you can get 8 (20W) for that price: (Pack of 8) LED T5 Integrated Single Fixture 4FT,20W,2200lm,6500K (Super Bright White),Utility led Shop Light, LED Ceiling light and Under Cabinet Light, Corded electric with built-in ON/OFF switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076FQ15R6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xoKQDbBF6P1HG

Love 'em. We had one, then ordered many more. Bright, well-built, and priced right.

u/rjselzler · 2 pointsr/microgreens

Keeping things clean is 90% about careful process; no matter what you use, if you go fast, you'll probably make a mess. For personal consumption, I'd recommend small trays (like these from Bootstrap Farmer that will last you forever--you can get the flimsy ones for cheaper, but they don't last). Don't overthink the soil buildup--it would take a long time for those 5x5 trays to overwhelm your raised beds I'm sure. I just save my soil residue in a few Sterilite bins and add them every few months to the raised beds (I have 6 4x4 SFG-style raised beds).

u/darknesss01 · 1 pointr/microgreens

I use these lights and they work good so far and are good price. i hung 2 per row to cover edge to edge.

First of all - if you are building this kit from disparate parts and sending along - you are a killer Secret Santa. Secondly, I would go soilless if gifting, there is this stuff which needs to be soaked, but keeps the indoor grow clean, and is helpful if your recipient is in a high rise or somewhere else that soil isn't easily accessible. I might also consider sending one of these in case they are germinating in a basement or somewhere cold. I use this seed company and have yet to be disappointed by price or quality - that salad mix is my favorite general purpose green too.

u/xe0s · 3 pointsr/microgreens

These will work brilliantly. I use very similar lights in a commercial grow setup with absolutely stellar results.

Peas just have the energy to keep growing if you leave them planted and under lights after a harvest of their shoots for microgreens. I learned it from Peter Burke a Vermonter who write a book on growing microgreens. Year-Round Indoor Salad Growing by Peter Burke

u/JabroniRegulator · 1 pointr/microgreens

I went with these LED lights. What I like about them is each 2ft bar has an individual switch so I can choose to dim the overall lighting or turn off just one 2x2 section of the 2x4 rack. They are versatile in that sense and low profile so it was easy to mount them on a wire rack with cable ties.

u/bootstrapfarmer · 2 pointsr/microgreens

Here are the microgreen version of that tray: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XZFLY9P/ with free shipping in Canada.

u/moeSeguesBest · 2 pointsr/microgreens

I'm in an apartment so I don't want to get messy with soil, so I use 10x20 thick hemp pads.


These are the ones I use they are perfect for apartment farming.
