Beginner's Guide

Your first tray of sunflower microgreens, from zero to harvest in 7 to 10 days.

A step-by-step guide to the second most popular crop for beginners: the exact soak time (8–24 h), dense sowing, the weighted blackout — the step that's the difference between a straight stem and a crooked one —, when to move to light, bottom watering, and the harvest window, which is short and worth learning to spot. Includes a day-by-day schedule and the 6 most common beginner mistakes, explained so you don't repeat them.

Who it's for: anyone who already tried radish (or wants to start here directly) and is after a crunchier, more photogenic microgreen, with or without garden space.
