my wife is like that too, she usually just lets me talk and look up at me all the time which makes her seem like she is second in the relationship (not true) but in reality, she loves being like that she chooses it. we love each other, respect each other as equals but she just does it naturally.

Woooow I remember watching their last video last year. So cool how much it’s grown!

Very refreshing to see this hard working couple again, now even more succeful :)

Just letting you know that your ads are making their way round. Keep up the good work champ

Really happy for them, since i saw them in the last video i was proud of them, now they are double the size, really happy, congrats.

I'm glad that you are doing well. Keep it up

Love the simplicity! I'd very much like to learn more. We are in the process of creating a campground and integrating soil amendment, growing techniques, all organic defense against pests, harvesting, canning/preserving. We'd really like to integrate some of this into the experience. Where would you recommend that we start? And when is your next MicroGreensWebClass? Thanks for sharing

I did a tour of a micro green setup last year ( Moncton,NB ) which was a much larger size...I found it really interesting. I believe the micro green business in this area is on a sharp increase.

The shelves you can get at any Sam's club for about $100 per rolling unit. Google "grow lights" and Amazon will show you the way. Honestly, this is not about GROWING the plants but SELLING them. They are highly perishable and will not travel far. Unless you and your family and friends really love micro greens. Better have a ready market before you start scaling this beyond your own needs.

Hi Curtis! I saw in this microgreens video that you have the same grow lights as me. I have been having an issue with everything flowering early under them. Do you use them for anything other than microgreens? Have you had that issue? Thanks in advance! :)

@katcoe1079

Try moving the lights further away from the plants. Or maybe the light cycle (light Vs dark hours) are wrong for vegetative growth and triggering fruiting/flowering

Can you declare the cost of water and electricity not to mention your time
