Growing Directions
Radish microgreen seeds germinate and grow to maturity very quickly. Sometimes your radish microgreen harvest is ready in as few as six days. Simply soak the colorful radish seed mix for up to four hours and sprinkle the seeds across your growth medium--both soil and hydroponic mediums work. Make sure that the radish seeds get a good spray before covering with additional soil, a wet paper towel, or a blackout dome. Within a couple days, you will see your colorful radish seeds sprouting, their vibrant color already noticable.
