Growing Directions:
Red Acre Cabbage is easy to grow and grows quickly! It grows well in soil or on hydroponic mediums. If using soil, tamp and moisten soil before spreading your microgreen seeds across its surface. You may want to cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. This will keep the seeds moist for longer. Allowing the seeds to germinate on the surface is fine too! Keep dark with the black out dome for the first 3 days then flip the lid on day 4 and 5 to stress and strengthen the crop.
