How to grow alfalfa microgreens
Soak 4–6 hours. Room-temperature water, no longer — over-soaked seeds crack.
Sow 8–10 g per 10×10 tray. Spread thinly and evenly over moist cocopeat; the seeds are small.
Keep dark for 2 days. Cover the tray; the sprouts will be pale until they see light.
Move to light. Indirect sunlight or windowsill, at 18–28°C.
Harvest at 1.5–2 inches. Usually day 7–10 — cut just above the base.
Timings are starting estimates. Results vary with seed density, growing medium, temperature, light and watering. Read the full growing guide →

Questions growers ask
How many trays will one pack grow?
At 8–10 g per 10×10 tray, a 100 g pack sows about 10–12 trays and a 300 g pack about 30–37 trays.
Why are my alfalfa microgreens growing mould?
Alfalfa grows densely and holds moisture. Water from below, keep the cocopeat on the drier side, and give the tray good airflow.
Is alfalfa the same as alfalfa sprouts?
Same seed, different stage. Microgreens are grown in a medium and cut above the roots after the first leaves open, so they are crisper and greener than sprouts.
