Growth discs

Before the seeds grow into microgreens, they go through a germination phase in the first 2-3 days. This is a critical period for later growth success and is primarily influenced by water, temperature, oxygen, light, and seed quality. The growth discs support this process in two ways:

1. Maintaining moisture: They help the seeds retain enough moisture, thus reducing the risk of the seed pads drying out (make sure the seed pads are completely soaked before placing the germination plates on top).
2. Block out the light: Light is especially important when the seeds begin to germinate. The plates help maintain darkness for the seeds, allowing for faster germination.

No! Oxygen: Even with the discs on top of the seeds, the oxygen supply is still more than sufficient. Seedlings: We recommend removing the discs after 2-3 days, as soon as the seedlings begin to lift them. However, don't worry if you forget to remove the discs immediately – it won't affect the growth success if the discs remain on the microgreens for an extra day.

We recommend using the growth discs from the start for up to 3 days to achieve optimal growth. Once the seedlings begin to lift the discs, you can remove them. When removing the discs, the LED light source should be switched on so that the seedlings receive the light and warmth they need to grow into beautiful microgreens.

1. Place 3 ingarden pads on your InGarden.
2. Pour water over the pads until the ceramic bowl is full and the pads are completely soaked.
3. Place the discs on the pads.
4. Remove the slices as soon as they are lifted by the seedlings.

*To make removing the discs easier, we recommend that you first pour some water over the discs so that the seeds do not stick to them.
