I recently purchased the Seed Sprouter Tray from Amazon, and I couldn't be happier with it! This tray is incredibly well-designed. The clear lid allows me to monitor the progress of my seeds without having to open it, while the ventilation holes ensure optimal air circulation. I appreciate the multiple levels, which maximize space and make it simple to grow a variety of seeds simultaneously. Cleanup is a breeze, and the durability of the materials used means it should last for many seasons to come. Overall, this seed sprouter tray has exceeded my expectations and is a fantastic addition to my gardening setup. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their own indoor garden!

I purchased this to grow wheat grass for my dogs. There are no instructions how to use the product. Ended up with a container full of mould and only a few seeds sprouted. Nothing like the picture. Will go back to using soil to grow the wheat grass.
Loving Frenchmen.

This item is great for growing many different seeds (add a thin layer of tissues on the white tray) if you have extra small seeds. Most tissues come in double layers, separate the two-layer for the extra thin lining. Grow any seeds for healthy greens healthy life. You can also place this item on a heating pad by adding 1" of water in the green pan then place the white tray in the green pan. now you can start young seedlings in small plastic pots or other small pots. (add a piece of tissue paper or paper towel in the bottom of each small pots) so dirt does not fall thru the small holes. Place small pots on the white tray, add the lid to save the heat & humidity. Great starter for spring growing. Multi-purpose item. I like the white tray with all the small holes, great aeration also allows humidity from the bottom and all sides. Great item for green thumbs. (Practice is necessary, practice makes perfect. Good luck and bon appetit.

I love this thing. It grows pea sprouts / pea shoot microgreens super easily. So far I’ve only tried SustainableSprout brand “Peas” in it but it has worked like a charm with them. I’m currently trying to find a cheaper US supplier of the pea seed so I can buy them in bulk.Instructions that have worked for me:First I soak the seeds for 10-12 hours, then I put them in the tray with water in the bottom (so the water does not touch the upper tray or seeds).I then put the clear lid on and cover the whole tray with the amazon box it came with (perfect fit so consider keeping that box! ). For three days I keep the sees in the dark but (!) I spray the seeds twice a day to keep them moist and I change the water once a day (I have found that, in my climate, I only need to change the water when the seeds are initially sprouting/ in the dark / before I turn on the grow light and before the sprouts start growing roots - once the roots grow the water funkiness totally goes away - this might be different in other climates).From there I put the sprouts under the 9 watt GE full spectrum e26 sun / growing light (Will try to update this with the model name / number). This is super cool / does not get hot at all so the sprouts love it. I have the light in an adjustable lamp and move the light every couple of days higher so it’s about 2 inches the tallest sprouts. I the the lid off of the trays during the days once the sprouts are about an inch tall and mist the sprouts as need just to keep them slightly moisten every now and then / not wet tho (kind of like produce in a grocery store. Keeping the lid on for times when you can’t check on them / are away might be enough. In the final days before harvesting, I keep the lid off so the shoots touch the the lid / are free to grow.Voila! Microgreens in about 8 days. They way I grow havest them I cut wash the root base in my sink lightly cut the roots (and keep, they taste great in stir fry ) then I cut the stems and leaves. Both sides of the plant require little washing (the roots more than the leaves. The middle part of the pea shoot (the seed ) looks alot like a split pea if you remove it’s shell. I don’t yet know if it’s edible! Guessing it is.I will post shots of my last harvest. I was running of seeds and only used one sustainablesprout 10 oz pack of Peas with about 130 seeds. Before this though, I have grown 2 packs (about 260-300 seeds) per tray with great results too.Note: I have a strong feeling the GE grow light’s soft and even spread is essential for this system to work (or any good adjustable , grow light that is not hot), putting these units in a hot window vs using a grow light might accelerate mold or over heat the plants ... but it’s worth a try if you don’t have a bulb yet. Also I think the lid on this unit is essential to keep the seeds and the young sprouts from drying out. These are just guesses and things I’ve read from other growers on the net.Also this tray is not designed for small seeds like broccoli seeds (the holes are too large for some small seeds and I lost a few seeds this way). You can grow small seeds however IF you get some medical gauze as a liner. I tried “germination paper” from one seller and it didn’t work for me. I found a good deal on some ace bandage medical gauze by the yard / in a roll tho. That works great. Otherwise, I hear there are other trays for smaller seeds that you can buy. I love this system tho. Hope this helps!

This is a great product for sprouting. Easy to use and clean. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Well designed. I use for mung bean (bean sprouts) and this is perfect.

Works well with big seeds. The smaller seedlike sprouts fall into the water.

Very useful sprouter, and will grow your seeds perfectly in a nice grid pattern. It's not ideal for broccoli sprout seeds as they're too small and will fall right through the mesh screen. A little ingenuity can solve this problem however (ie: place seeds on damp paper towel for two days before placing in tray). For the price, it's not really the greatest quality, but there isn't other products like it. So far it's been good to me.

Item works fine, just the size I needed. Fast shipping (despite Canada Post!). My sprouts are growing as I write (I can almost hear them! LOL)... Highly recommended! Thanks.
