Sowing density
For optimal growth and yield, Nasturtium should be sown using 90-220 grams, depending on the variety and desired harvest size.
Germination36-54 hours
Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and begins to grow, it typically takes Nasturtium 36-54 hours before the seeds begin to produce sprouts.

Stacking is a technique where multiple trays of plants are stacked on top of each other during the growing process to save space and encourage stem elongation.
Soak8-12 hours
Soaking seeds is a technique where seeds are soaked in water for a certain period before planting to enhance germination rates, shorten the germination time, and improve the overall quality of the microgreens.
Spiciness
Microgreens can vary in spiciness depending on the variety, with some microgreens such as arugula having a distinct peppery flavor, while others like radish microgreens can be quite spicy.
Mold Prone
