Cultivation steps
1. Prepare growth medium and generously moisten the surface

2. Distribute seeds evenly and avoid partial clusters

3. Cover with any cover and weigh it down (e.g. two baking stones), store in a dark place

4. Germination occurs in 3 - 4 days

5. Remove cover and transfer to aquaponics system

6. After 8 to 12 days, the ripe microgreens can be harvested; the microgreens should be completely dry. Any contact with water drastically reduces the shelf life.
