10 Easy steps for growing your own pea shoot microgreens indoors.

1. For a 1020 size tray, sanitize between 8-10 oz. of Peas by submerging them in The Poor Man’s Sanitizer Solution for 10 minutes.
2. Pour the sanitized peas into a mesh strainer to rinse well with potable water.
3. Pour the peas into a tall pitcher or bowl, submerge in pH 6-7 water and soak for 4-12 hours. Waterline should be 2-3″ above the surface of the peas since they are very absorbent. Remove any floating debris like detached pea skins to reduce non-growing organic material that mold could grow on later.
4. Pour the peas into a pasta colander.
5. Rinse and drain thoroughly 2x per day. Leave the peas in the colander until the root tips are showing.
6. Lay the peas 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 peas should not be clumped together or touching each other.
7. Blackout for 2-3 days until shoots start to appear.
8. Expose the peas to 6500k white light for 18 hours per day, with 6 hours of darkness.
9. Water from the bottom up 5-6x per day.
10. Harvest your pea shoots after 10-14 days when the first or second set of true leaves appear by cutting the shoots just above the grow medium with scissors or a sharp knife. Your pea shoots should be 6-8″ inches or more in height by this time.

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