If the first cell layer detaches and the microgreens stick to it, there can be two reasons:
1) Production error. The seed mats with the seeds are manufactured specifically for us, as we use a special material for the mats and the seeds.
During production, it can happen that the first cell layer, which serves both to hold the seeds and for all-around irrigation, is not applied correctly.
2) Insufficient watering. Before planting, the cotyledons must be soaked with water from above until they are completely saturated. The tray must be filled to the brim with water. If watering is insufficient, for example with a spray bottle, the first layer dries out quickly at room temperature, shrinks, and prevents the growing shoots from breaking through.
Should this result in an order having excessive defects, it can be reported here, and: Germination Guarantee
