When your seeds have the tiniest root showing, plant them on a thoroughly moistened medium. We use 75% Coconut Coir and 25% Earthworm Castings.
Cover your crop with another tray or plate, to keep light out and moisture in.
Keep your medium moist by watering gently as needed.
When your plants have begun to push up the cover, remove the cover and move your crop to a well lit location.
Harvest when the leaves are open and most of them have shed their hulls.
Cut just above the medium, with a scissors or sharp knife.
