Germination tips for microgreens
- •Sow dry. Turnip is a small brassica seed like radish and broccoli, and it takes moisture straight from damp cocopeat — soaking it only makes it clump and sow unevenly.
- •Level the medium before sowing. Small seed rolls into dips, and a tray sown into hollows comes up patchy.
- •Blackout for 2–3 days with a light weight on top so the stems push upward and stand straight.
- •Bottom water once the seed has germinated. Misting knocks seedlings this size flat.
- •Keep air moving across the tray, especially through the monsoon — dense brassica trays hold humidity at the base.
- •Ready at 8–12 days, once the cotyledons are fully open and the stems are firm.
- •Flavour is a gentle mustard bite — noticeable but well short of radish, so it suits people who find radish microgreens too hot.
