10 Easy steps for growing your own Popcorn or Golden Corn Shoot microgreens indoors.

1. Sanitize your corn kernels by submerging them in The Poor Man’s Sanitizer Solution for 10 minutes.
2. Pour the sanitized corn kernels into a mesh strainer to rinse well with potable water.
3. Pour the corn kernels into a tall pitcher or bowl, submerge in pH 6-7 water and soak for 4-12 hours. Remove any floating debris.
4. Pour the corn kernels into a pasta colander.
5. Rinse and drain thouroughly 2x per day. Leave the corn kernels in the collander until the root tips are showing.
6. Lay the corn kernels out on pre-moistened, sanitized grow media in your grow tray. Your seed density should be about 5-8 oz. per 1020 tray and the corn kernels should not be clumped together or touching each other.
7. Blackout for 5-7 days until shoots start to appear.
8. Do Not Expose the corn kernels to light, just keep them in complete darkness if you desire the golden color.
9. Water from the bottom up 5-6x per day.
10. Harvest your corn shoots after 6-7 days by cutting the shoots just above the grow medium with scissors or a sharp knife. Your golden corn shoots should be 3-4″ inches or more in height by this time.

Your freshly harvested Golden Corn Shoot Microgreens should be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator @ 36-40° and will keep for up to 10-14 days.
