I'm wondering if the problem was the substrate that you used, maybe to heavy for tiny seeds to push through. Even regular sprouting seeds of all kinds of plants have a better germination rate than that, even if they are not water plants, and the way you germinate and grow regular seeds to make sprouts and micro greens is very similar, they just need to be kept moist. I regularly sprout seed for myself and for my chickens - broccoli, clover, mustard, radish, mung beans, rice, wheat, they all have a high germination and sprout rate with no soil at all. I'm wondering if you would consider doing the experiment again with a lighter soil, maybe sand would work. My main question with this is what exactly are the seeds, are they genuine water plants, will they stay alive once you fill the tank. I was thinking of trying this experiment with some brown rice, cress and possibly even clover. Rice and cress naturally grow in water and there's some discussion about clover. Some people say it will all grow under water and other's say that only one kind does.<br />But anyway, thank you for doing this and documenting the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
