Organic Watercress – Microgreen/Sprouting

Organic Watercress – Growing Instructions

1. Sow your seeds directly onto a moistened growing medium, which is 3-4cm deep.
2. Lightly mist the seeds with water.
3. Place the seeded tray into a second tray without drainage holes. This will allow you to bottom water the tray
4. Cover with another tray on top to stop light getting in.
5. Blackout for 4-5 days and gently mist when the soil is dry.
6. Once the seeds are 1-2cm, they should be ready to be placed in a well-lit location.
7. When watering the seedlings, keep using the bottom tray.
8. Harvest between day 7-12 or when the seedlings are 5cm tall. Cut the stems above the soil line with a knife or scissors.
