1. Lay a thin layer of moist coco peat and perlite mixture in a tray, about half the depth of the tray. Mist the surface of the grow medium.
2. Cover the surface area with seeds. Roughly 25 grams for a standard 27x52x3cm grow tray.
3. Press down firmly and mist with water.
4. Ad another tray (preferably without holes) on top of the seeds ad weight in the form of a thin tile or small stone. This helps to form strong roots and get rid of unwanted seed hulls.
5. Keep wet with a spray bottle until all seeds have germinated. Remove top tray and flip over to place greens into blackout. This helps the stems to lengthen.
6. After about 2 days place the tray into light. This could be into artificial light, sunlight. An exposed windowsill will work just fine.
7. Make sure they have enough water each day. They should be ready between 10 and 12 days
