Microgreens Growing Guide – 10 Days: Seed to Harvest
A universal step-by-step guide through the complete 10-day microgreens growing cycle, from setup and sowing to harvest. Free, open, and currently an open draft for feedback.
Type: Growing guide · Status: Open draft, feedback welcome · Language: English · Cost: Free
A universal, step-by-step guide covering the complete ten-day microgreens growing cycle: setup, sowing, the blackout period, watering, light, and harvest. It gives clear daily instructions with guidance at different experience levels, so a complete beginner and an experienced grower can both follow it at the depth they need.
Who uses it
Teachers use it as the backbone of a classroom unit, youth workers as an activity structure, adult educators as a session plan, and home growers as tray-side instructions. Because the cycle is short and the results are visible every single day, it works as well in a youth centre as it does in a kitchen.
Status and feedback
This guide is published as an open draft while we develop it further. If you use it, we would genuinely like to know what worked and what did not. There is a feedback form directly beneath the guide.
