Cimmaron Lettuce Microgreen Seeds: Heirloom-quality seeds for growing flavorful microgreens

Growing Container: Shallow tray with or without drainage holes

Growing Medium: Organic seed-starting mix, coconut coir, or grow mat

Light Source: Sunny windowsill or LED grow light

Spray Bottle: For gentle misting during germination

Humidity Dome or Cover: Helps retain moisture during sprouting phase

Growing Medium: Use a fine seed-starting mix, coconut coir, or a grow mat for best results

Presoak: No presoak required for lettuce microgreens

Sowing Seeds: Evenly scatter seeds across the surface of your moist growing medium, aiming for dense coverage without clumping

Covering: Use a humidity dome or cover with another tray to block light and help retain moisture during germination

Light Requirements: After 2–3 days of blackout, remove the cover and place under a grow light or near a sunny window

Watering: Mist lightly once or twice daily to keep the surface evenly moist without overwatering

Ideal Temperature: Maintain a temperature between 60–70°F for optimal growth

Light Exposure: Provide 12–16 hours of bright light daily once the blackout period is over. A grow light ensures even, vibrant growth.

Moisture Management: Keep the growing medium consistently moist with gentle misting. Avoid overwatering to prevent root issues.

Air Circulation: Ensure good airflow around your growing area to reduce humidity and promote healthy growth.

Monitoring Growth: Watch for even leaf development and vibrant color. Thin or adjust lighting if microgreens appear leggy or pale.

When to Harvest: Harvest when microgreens have developed their first set of true leaves—typically around 10–14 days after sowing.

How to Harvest: Use clean, sharp scissors to snip the stems just above the soil line. Harvest in the morning for the best flavor and texture.

Storing: Gently pat dry if needed, then place in an airtight container or produce bag. Store in the refrigerator and use within 5–7 days for peak freshness.
