How Long Do Microgreens Take to Grow?
Most microgreens are ready to cut 8 to 17 days after you sow them. Radish is one of the fastest at 8 days, many take about 10, and basil and cilantro take 16 to 17. Sprouts in a jar take 4 to 5 days. Microgrower shows the exact days for each of its 15 starter varieties.
How Do I Tell Mold From Root Hairs?
Mist the fuzz with water. Root hairs are fine white hairs on new roots, and they disappear when wet, so leave them be. Mold looks like a cobweb that stays when misted and spreads across the growing medium. Microgrower's Is This Normal check walks you through it with pictures and tells you what to do.
Can I Run a Microgreens Business With It?
Yes. The Business plan adds customers, subscriptions, restaurant orders and farmers markets. It works back from each delivery to a seeding plan, using your own harvest weights. It also makes packing lists, labels and invoices, tracks money in and out, and makes recall reports.
How Is It Different From a Spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet only knows what you type into it. Microgrower turns each tray or jar into dated tasks, reminds you each morning, shows what each day should look like, and learns your harvest weights so your plans get more accurate.
Do I Need a Card to Try It?
No. You get 30 days of the Business plan, with no card. That's long enough to grow your first tray. When it ends, you pick a plan. If you don't, your records stay safe and you can still read and export them.
I've Never Grown Anything. Is It for Me?
Yes. Tell us you're learning, and the app starts you on Detailed Steps with radish or broccoli sprouts, the two most forgiving. You can also try a practice farm first, where nothing you do is saved.
Is It in the App Store?
Not yet. Microgrower runs in your phone's browser and adds to your home screen like an app, with reminders. Apps for iPhone and Android are on the way. It works on a computer too.
What Can I Grow With It?
It starts you with 12 microgreens and 3 sprouts, each with its growing steps: pea, sunflower, radish, broccoli, arugula, kale and more. You can add your own varieties and change any step.
What Is Sprout?
Sprout is the app's AI helper. It can check a photo for mold and answer questions about your own trays. It's off until you turn it on. Business includes 100 credits a month, and any plan can buy more.
What Happens to My Data If I Stop?
Nothing is deleted for not paying. You can export everything as CSV files at any time. If you delete your account, everything in it goes with it.
Can I Change Plans Later?
Yes. Move between Home, Starter and Business from Plan and Billing whenever you like. Start on Home and move up when you grow more, or when you start to sell.
