Heather started her wheatgrass experiment on Day 1 …
Day 3: sprouted wheat berries are spread on coir.
Day 4
I remove the foggy humidity dome and . . . I CAN SEE GREEN BITS!! My wheat berries are well on their way. Little green shoots are now visible. Yay! There’s still plenty of Tonic solution in the bottom tray, so I leave the flat alone. Very exciting.
Day 4: green sprouts are now visible!
Day 5
I think I can actually see the wheatgrass growing. It’s spurted at least 1/2 an inch since this morning. Amazing. I move it closer to our sunniest window, where there’s a heater nearby. I don’t want my babies getting chilly.
Day 5 morning: WOW!
It’s amazing to run my hand over the grass — it feels like Astroturf. With the weather so gloomy and gray outside, it’s a miracle to have this beautiful green patch in my home. The solution is doing fine, so I don’t worry about watering. I’ll leave the dome on for another day, at least.
Day 5 afternoon: lots of green growth.
Day 6
The wheatgrass is 1.5 inches tall. I remove the humidity dome. The grass seems to be loving its new home here by the heater and the bright window!
Day 6: wheat grass is about 1.5 inches tall.
At the rate the grass is growing, I’ll be harvesting in no time!
Wow, looks great! That didn’t take very long at all.
Beautiful!
Fantastic! You are well on your way. You think this is fun, just think how much you’ll enjoy fresh shots of juice and new found healthyness!
Wait ’til you taste how much sweeter our juice is compared to all other wheat grass juice, and darker! That is the direct effect of complete nutrition from the TONIC fertilizer to the plant and the nutrient density that follows. Enjoy, and be careful, a little goes a long way! Start with 1-2 oz. per day before you start glumping!
That’s ‘gulping’ or ‘chugging’ – a failed attempt at humor. Translation: don’t drink too much to start, take it slow at 1 oz per day and gradually drink more as your body reacts and adjusts. Each individual is different, so respect your body and start with a moderate amount and go from there.
