Why Are Microgreen Growing Trays So Trending?
If you want to cultivate nutrient-rich microgreens indoors, the most dependable way to do so is by using a microgreen growing tray. Normally these shallow containers contain potting soil with a layer of seeds evenly spread throughout for harvesting. This method ensures that your microgreen crop flourishes and provides an abundance of greens. You can also use lights to supplement your trays. When using lights, make sure to leave a few inches of space between the tray and the light source. This helps prevent burning while still providing adequate illumination during growth.
Make certain to rotate your trays or lights occasionally so all parts of the tray get equal illumination. Do not forget to water your trays regularly and evenly, as too much or not enough water can stunt the growth of your microgreens. With a little time, patience, and consistency you will be able to enjoy an abundance of fresh, flavorful microgreens right from the comfort of home.
Growing Trays Buying Guide
Spac
If you have plenty of space to house your hydroponic garden, then there’s no reason why you can’t go big and opt for a larger, more substantial Growing Trays to grow your plants in. However, if, like many people, space comes at a premium for you, then you’ll want to look into more compact options.

5 Ways to Use Growing Trays in Hydroponic Gardening
In any hydroponic system, plant roots need a support system of some kind due to the absence of soil. A common support system to house plant roots is the grow tray.
Wick System
Trays are used to hold plants in this passive grow system to deliver the nutrient solution from the reservoir with a wick.
01
Drip System
Growing Trays are used to hold plants. The submersed pump is used to drip a nutrient solution onto the base of each plant by a small drip line.
02
Ebb and Flow
The ebb and flow system temporarily floods the grow tray with the nutrient solution and then the solution drains back into the reservoir.
03
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
Nutrient solution is pumped into the growing tray that’s usually a tube and flows over the roots of the plants. This system also has the solution draining back into the reservoir.
04
Deep Water Culture
Doesn’t use Growing Trays, but rather a platform that holds the plants. The platform is usually made of Styrofoam and floats, with the roots submerged in the nutrient enriched solution.
