After seeds are sown, cover for two-three days to allow seeds to germinate, and then uncover seeds and place under a grow light. Continue to water when need. Harvest when the look and the flavor are to your liking. So, begin sampling the greens when the first set of leaves form to determine when to cut! Mizuna microgreens should be ready to harvest on day 8 – 12.
