How I did it:

1. I ordered & bought microgreens seeds from website and substrate (not sprouts) – specifically clover, radish, peas, and corn.
   Microgreens: are young plants grown in soil or a substrate, harvested about 7–14 days after sprouting, when they already have leaves. The stem and leaves are eaten.

   Sprouts: are grown without soil, just in water, and harvested earlier (usually 2–7 days). The whole seed, along with the sprout, is consumed. (Some people grow them just in water, others use special papers, gauze, and similar materials.)

2. I added the substrate to the main tray, moistened it with water, and mixed it a bit.

   

3. I sprinkled the seeds on top, following the recommended density for each type of microgreen.

   

4. I added plant markers to label each type of microgreen. - are available on our profile.

5. I misted the seeds with water.

   

6. I wrapped the rings with food-safe cling film.

7. I placed the complete tray on the windowsill. I didn’t use the grid insert, since I’m growing microgreens, not sprouts. I also didn’t use the divider wall because I planted just one type in the entire tray. But if I wanted to grow two types at once, I would definitely use it.

   

8. I’ll continue following the germination instructions – watering as needed. Once the microgreens grow, I’ll remove the cling film, snip the greens, and eat them. 
   This is the 4th day of the purple radish. I'm already removing the greenhouse cover and leaving it like this on the windowsill. The instructions say it should be cut on the 7th day.

   

   This is the 6/7th day of the purple radish. I grabbed some scissors and snipped off a piece of the stalk with a leaf. I washed it and dug right in. Yum, it was delicious!

   

If you’re wondering why this bowl looks different, it’s because it was our very first design version—the one we used to spot every flaw and tweak everything we didn’t like. We still put it to use, though; even if it isn’t perfect, it’s perfectly functional. All the other plants will be photographed in the current model from now on. :)

9. What should happen next? According to the instructions for purple radish micro‑greens, I’m supposed to snip them on day 7, keep them in the fridge, and eat them within a few days.

10. After trimming, part of the plants remained in the substrate. Some seeds, like peas, had large roots in the back part. I separated what I could from the substrate and gently sifted it by hand so that I could reuse at least some of the substrate.

My others microgreens in this planters:

I recommend planting according to the instructions that come with the seeds, especially if you're a beginner.

Accessories for planter:

1. Dome - Added at the request of one of you :)

• 
• If you print it with transparent filament, you can use it instead of the foil hoops from the main design.
• Or print it with dark filament and use it as a shade – for example, corn microgreens should be grown in the dark.

2. Pattern planter without holes:

• 
• At the request of one of you, we've added a main tray without holes. It's more suitable for sprouting, where the seeds need to be soaked in water.
• If you're using a sprouting pot that requires water, use this dish to prevent the water from draining away.

3. Planter without holes:

• faster-to-print tray without bottom holes and without pattern

We will soon add more plates to this print profile that we have planned.
