The 4 Methods I Use to Germinate Microgreens

I use four methods to germinate microgreens. These are:Weighted Blackout MethodBuried Blackout MethodDomed Blackout MethodHybrid Blackout MethodThe most common method to germinate microgreens is the weighted blackout method.For most microgreens I use this method. For larger seeds, or microgreens that have a hard time shedding their hulls I use the buried method. When you grow beets and Swiss chard microgreens the buried method will remove most of the stubborn seed hulls. I also use this method for large seeds as the microgreens are usually much taller and the buried method seems to produce stronger roots. It also helps prevent the seeds from drying out during germination.The domed method is reserved for thin-stemmed microgreens like amaranth and most smaller tender mustards.The hybrid method is a combination of the weighted blackout method and the domed method. It helps sunflowers lose their hulls and short growing microgreens like arugula grow taller before they are placed under lights.
