Great questions and thanks for asking. I grow them further to the microgreen stage, and yes I’ve moved to a complete separation of the initial complete blackout soak in water, and then the move to the tray about 48 hours later like you said. Soaking the radish seeds also enlarges them so they don’t fall through the tray holes. Here are some closer photos of the harvests.

Answering some concerns:
The V2 I’m planning solves the bending issue, using a wider shelving unit with more shelves in less height with two of those lights per shelf directly above each tray. The mylar I’m going to place on each shelf to ensure absolutely no light from below penetrates through the bottom of the trays which I’ve noticed confuses the sprouts direction of growth.
I am using these which seemed really cheap for what I need, and allow for some automation. They are on the weaker side, but even a single one seems to be enough (although causing bending because not dispersed enough evenly). By using two per shelf, I’ll probably be able to dim them more, using only the exact energy I need from each one.
Oh yea I agree that it’s going to have a negative impact on people’s immediate quality of life. But the short term bad financial consequences are going to be much better than the long term bleed of growing emissions and climate change. We are terrible at perceiving external slow changes, so it’s better that we experience the volatility of a dirty source of energy quickly.
Here’s why it doesn’t matter:
“AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It was developed as a successor to VP9 by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia),[3] a consortium founded in 2015 that includes semiconductor firms, video on demand providers, video content producers, software development companies and web browser vendors.”
The bubble is actively breaking. Next couple months are going to be awesome. Along with oil prices making people think about getting an EV.
Castile soap supposedly fucks up aphids, I bought some just as a back up if I see any bugs.
He said to build another one except with only four spots raised up for tropaeolum, so I did. And he receives kale leaves for his good advice.
This is what it looked like about a month ago.
Great question, thank you. Yes. I am experimenting with side lighting, as in the image the plant is raised up on a shelf, such that it can fall to the side, thus giving it more surface area to be exposed to the light rather than just directly above.
Yes I consistently Pick off the largest leaves. Probably my favorite tasting plant, and extremely strong grower so I never feel like I’m harming it.
trump supporters? how can anyone still support the president at this point?

Glad I stopped eating beef years ago. I’m not the problem.
Land value tax and unrealized capital gains tax.
I love the hints of green, this part of super early spring are always one of my favorite times of year.
Yea but they don’t actually do shit.
That feeling when protests stimulate the economy.
Too many people asked “can we do this thing?” when they should have been asking “should we do this thing?”
Thank you, and thanks for asking here’s the current “v1”. I’m about to receive all the pieces for the “v2”. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I’m absolutely loving growing my own salads.
