I've seen people using strip growing lights over their greens / wheatgrass,

and I'm sure it speeds up the growing rate. I have fairly descent indirect

natural light from a large skylight in my kitchen but was wondering if anyone

uses fluorescent strip lights when growing / greening sprouts/ greens. If so,

how long do you leave the lights on? I'm assuming you need rest periods, as at

night, but am not sure. Anyone have any info? Here's a video link of a hard core

sprouter/ wheatgrasser and his amazing setup.... something I can shoot for!!!

Are you sure this is for plants, etc. or people? Sounds like something I could

use, that is before I started sprouting. Maybe will tell us if this what

he uses on his sprouts.

What do you like about the Easygreen sprouter as compared to jars and trays?

From: Molloy <jmolloy64@...>

Subject: Re: Sprout / wheatgrass lighting ideas

Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 9:02 PM

I will definitely be watering w/ the diluted Oceansolution, and its probably a

good addition to the soak water as well. I use an Easygreen auto sprouter and

have always added some trace mineral drops to the water resevoir. I seem to see

a difference in the health of the sprouts and they do seem to grow quicker,

although I cant actually prove this. I think the Ocean solution site has some

research documentation re: mineral content of treated sprouts-or wheatgrass. I

have ordered the Oceansolution so I'll be using it soon and see how it goes. It

makes sense to me that it would be of benefit, as the sprouts do take up water

in the sprouting process, and would take up the abundant minerals in the

solution added to the water. This is probably more apparent when watering greens

and wheatgrass but I figure it couldn't hurt w/ the sprouts and possibly make

them even bigger nutrient powerhouses than they already are.

Well, it's marketed as a supplement, but what the heck, if it's a concentrated

form of sea water, why not use it for the sprouts. Add a few drops to a big

thing of water. Keep at room temperature. Add to soak water, add to rinse water.

Can't hurt, right?

Melody,

I would wonder if it does plants any good as they are kind of different from

human beans, if had not told us that he has been using it with no

adverse effects. And since he said he saw an improvement in the growth of

sprouts while using it I agree that it is worth trying. I need some for my

broccoli sprouts right now as they don't look as thrifty as other things I have

sprouted... maybe its too early as I forgot to make a record of when I started

them. Seems like a long time as I am anxious to taste them. I guess I need to

keep a special sprouting notebook.

Oh, I did order Ocean Solution and that will be fun to see how fast everything

grows in comparison to not using it. I love Thanksgiving but this year I am a

little distracted with wanting to start more sprouts and clean out my computer

room for place to put plant stand. My husband has so much fishing paraphanelia

in the garage there just isn't room for it in there. No complaints as he

brought home nice mess of fish last night, for 3rd time in 2 weeks and as long

as he did not catch it in the Gulf of Mexico it is one of the healthiest foods

you can eat.

I think I'll be better off getting another bottle of Liquid Kelp. What do you

think.

And didn't you get my email about storing veggies. I am trying to pick your

brain. I want to put a whole bunch of veggies including bok choy into the big

OSO Fresh container (I just got the whole set). I wrote you.

Maybe you didn't get that particular email??

Black Cod (Sablefish)

In the deep blue depths of Alaska's pristine waters lies what some would

consider the best tasting fish in the world- Sablefish. This incredibly

flavorful fish is also referred to as Black Cod or " Butterfish " . It is widely

known as an excellent fish for gourmet entrees and well received when smoked.

It's name, Sablefish, is thought to be derived from the fact that it has a very

soft, delicate texture. It is considered a delicacy by most seafood connoisseurs

for it's beautiful snow-white fillets, rich succulent flavor, and velvety

texture. If prepared correctly...it will literally melt in your mouth!

I agree n. Discountjuicers.com is a great site for juicers/ blenders /

sprouters, and at great prices. I bought my juicer and auto sprouter from them.

The owner is very helpful and personally responds to emails.

Re: Sprout / wheatgrass lighting ideas

Ann wigmore's book on wheatgrass is so inspiring. I took a shot of wheatgrass

at a health food store and then bought the book.

You have a great juicer. If anyone is interested in juicers the guy from

discountjuicers.com have many excellent videos on YouTube where he shows you how

to juice things and compares and reviews different juicers.

Even though I am all set with juicers (I have the omega 8004 & a revile juice

fountain) I enjoy watching his videos. I usually drink a lot of juice. After

making it fresh I find I can't bear the taste of bottled.

Same with sprouts-my own freshly grown are amazing compared to store bought.

November 23, 2010

Most definitely. Once I get the Ocean solution I'll do a comparison. I also have

some really bad news. Got home from work tonight, and my wheatgrass has

developed some serious mold despite my best intentions spraying w/ peroxide and

grape seed extract and growing on peat moss and perlite. I will have to get a

fan and air them out. I'm also going to harvest a tray of wheatgrass in my

freshly cleaned / sanitized Easygreen auto sprouter w/ plenty of mineral loaded

misting water. I might need to buy myself another autosprouter specifically for

wheatgrass if it works out well. This mold things got me quite annoyed. I also

purchased a bottle of Citricide when I bought the Ocean solution -its all

natural w/ grapefruit seed to help prevent mold/ fungus from invading your

sprouts/ grass. Here's hoping it works.

I'm using the Concentrace myself Melody, but the OceanSolution, while you do

have to order larger amounts, is about half the price of the Concentrace if you

do the math. Granted, I add small amounts, but an 8 ounce bottle lasts a long

time. I did the math , and a liter bottle of Ocean solution might last about 9

months for my sprouting needs. I haven't gotten the Ocean solution yet, so I

cant compare the two as of yet.

The Concentrace is definitely for people....but sprouts and the Concentrace

solution you lovingly feed to your sprouts is also for people! Concentrace

directions say to add a small amount to your water/ juices and build up to get

an amazing array of minerals and trace minerals into your diet. I just figured

adding them to the sprout soak water and misting water would make the sprouts

that much more of the powerhouses they already are. Lets make a great thing even

better! Saweeeet!

Whats not to like . No soaking time-just spread them out on the sprouting

tray, pop them in the sprouter, close the door, fill the reservoir w/ water (

and perhaps a touch of " magic " mineral solution -) set the timer, put the

drain tube in a suitable drainage vessel, plug the old baby in-and your good to

go. No more twice a day rinsing's. Just fill the water reservoir roughly once a

day and your good to go - and fast like. I actually grow too many sprouts, its

so easy. There is a once a week ritual where you disinfect the unit to keep it

sparkling w/ bleach water or peroxide-not a big deal. My only complaint is that

the units not higher - so I could grow super tall greens in it, but for

sprouts-its unsurpassed. If your not sold on the unit- and they are fairly

expensive, take a look at the Easysprout growing cups. They are amazing, I still

use them to soak my wheatgrass and Sunflower seeds, and for years they were my

main sprouter units for all my sprouts. Check out the Spoutpeople site for

videos of the Easysprout cups in action. Beats glass mason jars big time!

indirect natural light from a large skylight in my kitchen but was wondering if

anyone uses fluorescent strip lights when growing / greening sprouts/ greens. If

so, how long do you leave the lights on? I'm assuming you need rest periods, as

at night, but am not sure. Anyone have any info? Here's a video link of a hard

core sprouter/ wheatgrasser and his amazing setup.... something I can shoot

for!!! Enjoy! Thanks.... , NYC

Yep. The Oceansolutions about half the price of the Concentrace. To be fair

though, Concentrace is marketed as primarily for human consumption directly,

while Oceansolution is more of a high end ocean-non animal mineral supplement

for your plants. No middleman for the Concentrace!.....

Re: Sprout / wheatgrass lighting ideas

Hi.

me too!!! I just went online and found this item. It's cheaper than the ocean

solution. Give a look. Anyone use this. What is your opinion of adding a few

drops of this product to soak water, etc.

Speaking of mold, my wheatgrass is doing okay-But I discovered the arrugula I

was growing for a microgreen mix for Thanksgiving got decimated by being too

damp. I can probably salvage some of it.

I think the problem is drainage-I put them in a container that has poor

drainage. My Bad

My popcorn greens are growing like crazy though.

I don't eat any animal flesh or animal products, and agree with --eat plenty

of sprouts, veggies, juices, and read labels. If you do eat meat or fish or

poultry--find out where it came from, how it was raised, what was it fed. Watch

out for antibiotics, hormones, and poor animal husbandry practices (factory

" farmed " animals). This is vital for one's health and well-being and also so

that one does not support inhumane and cruel treatment of animals. They,

including fish, do suffer. Eating animals that were stressed and poorly treated

does not promote good health either. As says " Eat more Sprouts " n

Just say no...to the animal flesh stuffs....eat more sprouts!

,

The sprouting machine sounds like just the thing for someone who is not home all

day, but I find for my " carefree " schedule that the old fashioned method is just

fine, and I am still amazed at how little time and effort it takes to get those

buggers to grow. And for the time being I am going to watch the cost of this

venture as I have ordered 1 gal. of OceanSolution and a wheatgrass juicer ( not

the expensive one) and then there will be the never ending cost of seeds and

wheat berries. And with Christmas coming soon and having a big family to make

happy on Christmas morning I can only do so much until I hit it big in the

stock market. I wish there was a way to harvest your own seeds but have not

found any info on that. I also can't find, or haven't yet, how the wheat grass

is cut for juicing. Do you use scissors, a small lawn mower or what?

Thanks for filling me in on the sprouter, have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving,

...
