Cotton pad microgreen kit 5cm square
Â
This is a microgreen kit for 5cm x 5cm cotton pad size. I designed this for the original designer, but he doesn't allow remixes. Tried to add print profile, and checked that the points go to him/her, I don't know if it worked, but if it doesn't, I would like to share this version for those like me, who wasn't able to buy the circle cotton pad. The one available was this 5cm x 5cm cotton pad in the pharmacy.

Features
- base  - pour the water here
- tray - place 1 piece of 5cm x 5cm cotton pad here
- cover - this is to cover the trayÂ
Instructions
- Pour water in the base
- Place 1 piece of 5cm x 5cm cotton pad in the tray (the one with net holes)
- Place the tray in the base. Let the cotton pad absorb the water that you poured in the base.
- Pour your seeds. Preferably for microgreens: Alfalfa, broccoli, radish, malunggay, etc.
- Cover.Â
Note:
- the base is where you pour water until where the stand is. Just enough to make the cotton pad moist enough for the seeds.
- the tray is where the seeds grow
- the cover has many uses:Â
- prevents hastened water evaporation (but depending on your climate, if it's very hot in your area, preferably keep this indoors)
- blocks the sun from the seeds, therefore the seed will grow rapidly, seeking for sunlight. (did a study on this, so that's why the growing seedling will have long stems)
