I have a question: I'm not using any soil, just water.
if the sprouts produce white mold (that looks like cotton) can you wash it out and still use it for juicing? I already made 2 batches and I keep getting this white mold. I'm washing it out and then spraying it with water and baking soda.
My first batch is almost fully grown to it's optimal size and doesn't seem to have any more white mold but it did have it at first during the first few days and I also rinsed and kept spraying it with water and baking soda. Not sure if it's safe to juice.

Juice Recipe + Common FAQs:
Mix any citrus juice at a 1: 1 ratio with wheatgrass to temper out the grassiness and add a bit of sweetness. You can also blend into your smoothies, or freeze into cubes and use in the future.
Common Question:
- Soak 6-8 hours, do not go over 8 hours or you can damage seeds
- Take the blackout tray off 48 hours after sowing seeds
- Lights on a minimum of 16 hours a day
- Light placement should be as close as possible to top of trays without burning plants

I used a juicer like that for wheat grass juicing for about a year. It turned out that half of the plastic impeller inside the plastic casing disappeared within a year. Thus I had eaten a bunch of plastic. Since then I switched to the all stainless steel Wheatgrass King. That thing is well worth it, it has lasted already for 15 years and is tough enough to juice various green things growing in the neighborhood.

I've watched several dozen videos on and the majority say one cut. After that growing time is longer and nutritional value goes down. Omega vertical juicers are known to be a very good juicer for wheatgrass. I'd like to know what juicer you think is better? Not really. People, do your research!

You're supposed to grow it longer before cutting! wait until stalks split into 2 leaves, usually 5-7 inches. That US the right kind of juicer for wheatgrass! If too strong, add water and can also add fresh mint while juicing it!

You can make wheatgrass juice w/o a juicer. Snip the wheatgrass into 1/2 inch chunks until you have a half cup. Put in blender with at least a cup of spring water or juice of your choice. Blend by pulsing and stopping. Strain.

If you're using wheat seeds (or some other cereal) would it be possible to cut it once or twice in its microgreen stage but then let it grow fully to harvest the grain seeds?

What would you estimate the percent of nutrient loss when you eat a second cutting and a third compared to the percent whole of the first original cut?
Thanks.

Do you have idea of how many grams per square meters you have per cut? Also in this case how many grams/square meters of seed do you use in average?

I know nothing about using lights to grow produce, so would it be okay to copy the same process but place the tray outside in the sun? Thank you!
