my wheatgrass growing in 10 x 20 tray and no mold!

[dmb2002man]

Hey everyone,

Here is my attempt to grow organic red winter wheat berries and it worked out very well. I purchased my seeds from a local health food store for .99 cents pound. I am using organic dirt in a 10 x 20 try that i cut holes in and its dripping in to a solid tray below so water will release. I have 2 computer fans wired together to a plug so mold will not show up and it hasn't. This is day 7th of my growing from sprouting to this stage. I purchased my manual juicer from amazon for $49 with free shipping after reading the reviews. Im going to build me a custom pvc stand in the next few weeks and grow 4 trays at once. Look for more pictures soon.

Your grass looks wonderful! I never thought about using computer fans for it. You have the same juicer we do. It works wonderful on fruits as well.

hey thanks for letting me know. Im so pumped of trying this in the juicer. I own a vitamix blender so the only reason i bought the juicer was for wheatgrass as i drink a liter of greens everyday. The computer fans worked well in my hydroponic system to so figured i would try them on this and its working very well and hardly cost me anything to run these. No more buying wheatgrass shots at wholefoods for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my last picture as I'm going to cut it today. I also posted a few more pictures in the above link on the trays. I did my final watering this morning. Hope you enjoy everyone.

You seem to have it figure it out. How is the climat in your area. Is this humid, dry etc.... The person that i buy my tray of wheat grass, doesn't have mold issue on winter season but summer, he seems to struggle more.

All the best!

Its hot and humid all year here but i grow it inside @ 70 degree temp. Its 100 degrees here today! The key to it is fans and i pull up the wheatgrass and just water the bottom of the tray so it gets to the roots and then use my spray bottle on top.

Great tips, i might try to grow wheat grass again.

Do you think a little fan would work, or would be too much?

((((Thank you)))))

Any fan should work. Just make sure its moving the grass a little but not to much! My pc fans don't blow alot of air but its working well. If its a larger fan, just make sure its farther away than my setup and you will be just fine. The wheat grass is still growing strong and its day 9. I'm either going to cut it tonight or wait until tomorrow.

So i cut my wheatgrass today and got a whole bags worth!!!!!! Now its time for juice and let the wheatgrass keep on growing! Enjoy



Cheers to my shot of wheatgrass!

Been juicing 1 oz of wheatgrass everyday so far. Here is my wheatgrass growing again after the first cut. The juicer works awesome!

How many ounces do you get from a full tray? Looks like the next crop is growing well already. I can't wait to get started.
