Description
General Information about the MP SEEDS Microgreens Growing System
The MP SEEDS Microgreens Growing System is a complete package of compatible growing components for small and medium microgreens farms. It combines a large 90x180 cm Ebb & Flow growing surface, five full-spectrum LED lights and the supplies needed to begin growing and preparing microgreens for sale.
You do not have to select, match and order every part separately. We have combined our proven components into one practical system, available at a better package price than buying the included products individually.
The system can be used immediately for manual bottom watering. It can also be connected to an automatic watering installation when you are ready to automate production.
The smaller MP SEEDS Professional Microgreens Starter Growing Kit is designed for growers who want to try a professional growing method and see how MP SEEDS trays, pots, growing media, fertilizer and seeds work together. This microgreens growing system is the larger option, with a dedicated Ebb & Flow growing area and five LED lights.
What Is Included in the MP SEEDS Microgreens Growing System?
Reusable equipment
The pots with holes are used for growing and bottom watering. The pots without holes are placed over the sown pots during blackout. They help provide darkness while keeping the seeds in contact with the growing mat.
The Ebb & Flow tray, lamps and pots can be cleaned and reused for successive crops.
Consumables and initial production supplies
250 g of MP SEEDS fertilizer A+B
100 g of Radish Red Rambo or Broccoli Calabrese seeds
500 g of Pea Foxy seeds
10 × Big Transport Boxes, each holding four 10 × 12 cm pots
The mats, fertilizer, seeds and transport boxes are consumables. They provide the initial materials for production and can be reordered separately when needed.
The cardboard transport boxes make it easier to deliver microgreens in their growing pots. Each box holds four included 10 × 12 cm pots and can be labelled or stamped with your own branding.
Watering the MP SEEDS Microgreens Growing System
Manual bottom watering
The system can be used without a pump. Leave the Ebb & Flow tray undrilled and add water or nutrient solution directly to it. The growing pots take up moisture through their drainage holes, allowing all pots on the tray to be watered from below.
Place the tray on a stable, level surface. The recommended maximum water level is approximately 1 cm.
Connecting automatic watering
The package does not include a pump, water reservoir or the additional pipes, valves and fittings required to build an automatic watering installation.
The Ebb & Flow tray is prepared for this type of connection. It has a dedicated drainage area and marked positions where inlet and outlet openings can be drilled. The required plumbing parts can be purchased from a local plumbing supply or hardware shop.
Before choosing the components and modifying the tray, watch the Ebb & Flow connection video. It shows how the tray can be incorporated into an automatic watering setup.
How to Use the MP SEEDS Microgreens Growing System
Place the Ebb & Flow tray on a level growing bench or suitable rack and install the five LED lamps above the growing area.
Insert one coco or hemp mat into each pot with drainage holes, hydrate the mats and sow the selected seeds. Cover the growing pots with the 40 pots without holes for blackout. Follow the individual instructions for Radish Red Rambo, Broccoli Calabrese or Pea Foxy, as soaking and growing times vary by variety.
After blackout, remove the covering pots and move the crop under the LED lights. Water from below manually or through your separately installed irrigation system.
After harvest, clean and reuse the tray and pots. Replace the mats and seeds for each new crop. The 10 included transport boxes allow you to prepare 40 growing pots in packs of four for delivery or sale.
