In this video: "Growing Microgreens in SOIL vs. HYDROPONICS with ONLY WATER" , we dive into an exciting headtohead comparison between different growing mediums for growing microgreens. We put @FoxFarmFertilizerCo Ocean Forest Potting Blend soil against two popular hydroponic grow mediums: Coco Coir and our Silicone Reusable Grow Medium. Our goal? To determine which medium performs better—Soil or Hydroponics—when it comes to growing lush, vibrant microgreens!
Throughout this experiment, we exclusively used regular water to nurture the microgreens, with no additional fertilizers added to any of the growing mediums.
Soil: The total average harvest weight for microgreens grown in the Ocean Forest Potting Blend soil was 43.25 grams across two trays.
Coco Coir: Microgreens grown using Coco Coir yielded an impressive average harvest weight of 45.3 grams between two trays.
Silicone Reusable Grow Medium: The total average harvest weight for microgreens grown using our Silicone Reusable Grow Medium came in at 30.65 grams between two trays.
And the winner was Coco Coir!
We’re thrilled to reveal these results and can't wait to share more soil vs. hydroponic microgreen experiments with you soon!
