Donny Greens, great content! Excited to see your automated watering system. Maybe another video idea on microgreens grow light schedule and how allowing to rest the plants for few hours a day without light gives them taste and color.

Donny, watering your plants and getting your exercise is a great combo. Can’t beat that! Exercise without a gym!!

I’m starting micro greens on a smaller scale for our new farm. Thank you for making your videos. They are so hopeful for a noob.

I'm watching this twice. Once for the general flow, twice for the note taking. :D

Working very hard for yourself. Good for you. The definition of success.

best video yet! this is what we need!

Great video! If you spend 10 hours a week I was wondering how many hours a week your workers put in total?

Awesome video series Donny. I learned a lot and will be applying your method. Thank you from Gatineau, Que.

Great video as always. I use Donny's exact method on one shelf unit for personal use. We juice wheat grass and lots of other stuff. One tray cost about as much as buying a head of lettuce, so this method is far superior to buying produce at the store. It is also a great replacement for humanity's disastrous grain-train. Growing microgreen seeds instead of f*ck-tons of grain would demonstrate mild intelligence.

Haha im sure you are becoming more flexible so thats an added benefit lol!! Watering can be annoying as hell. Looking to automate my watering when I build out my next farm

Yeah.. I have two questions: 1) How much spoilage do you have?... like every month say? you seem like the type that may know the actual monthly-average %? 2) I would expect you'd have set up an automatic watering system... though you have not. Is that due to the variation in water-needs per tray? Amazing channel man.

Thanks for the videos they help alot. Do you use organic seeds and fertilizer or does it even matter?

Least favorite farm chore? Doing microgreens myself and BY FAR my least favorite is washing trays. Love doing everything else but washing trays is that chore that's time consuming and wet and just makes my arms hurt by the time i've washed them all. :)

lml im like yeah watering, not that ive even made a sale yet or anything but its definitely what i hate about farming- but everything else is so great it balances right out.

Least favourite? Weeding. Always weeding. lol. Watering is a godsend in comparison (until it's mid-summer and you have to water the hot houses...)

Darn I cant lift all those buckets of water sorry. It hurts my shoulder. Now I can see I wont be able to lift the trays with one hand either. Sorry this just isnt for me... but now I know. I guess Im aged out. Thanks for the education and may you have much continued success.

When do you start brushing off the microgreens? Is it the last few days or as soon as they start popping up? I guess what I’m trying to ask is is there a time in growth that is to soon and will damage your crop

I am new to this and have just found you... you have probably already answered this a gazillion times :-) which grow light are you using?

I got one rack NSF styled and I’m trying to scale in Atlanta Nawf / you should transition the farm to alkaline crops only and spread the truth about thr alkaline food vs industrial acidic food / thanks for the service keep it up / also do you plan growing outdoors in NYC during the summers or it’s not even worth it 💚

Great stuff ibspired from South Africa. Kindly confirm what screen did you look at on 5:16?? Is that hand written or digital??

Trying to figure out your system here. Looks like you're just germinating and pulling trays according to order totals for the week and setting them out on the racks anywhere you can. Is there any organization to knowing which trays are ready to harvest on which days or are you just doing it all by eye? seems like stuff would get mixed up. I noticed some people use color coding/stickers to separate trays based on harvest day. What do you think?

It's driving me Crazy how he says ( Water or Watery ) 😆🤣

Do you use any special water ? filtered ? distilled ? mixed with hydrogen peroxide ?

I do not enjoy watering as well. Kinda why I went with hydroponics setup.
