Like 15-20 days, but mines died after, i think they dont grow good in my region. Dont store it long time.

I cover 1/4 cup of seeds with water and soak them overnight, then rinse them 2 times per day. Most sprouts are ready in 4-6 days.

It took a couple of weeks before mine even sprouted. It's been about 6 weeks now, and they are still only about 4" in length. They are still green, tho. Guess that's a good sign.

I have the same sprouting system although I only use three trays as its only me eating them. What I recommend is placing one Tbsp of seeds in a small bowl. So three Tbs in three separate bowls. Add water and soak overnight. Then in the morning rinse and place each bowl of seeds in a tray and stack. Then water twice a day. In about a week you will have a crop of sprouts to harvest. Sprout house has the best seeds. Good luck. All of my seeds always sprout and they are delicious

Tulip seeds take 5-10 years to bloom, provided you can even get them to sprout. Tulip seeds are not a practical or worthwhile way to fill up your garden with color.

I just rinsed once a day and if you have it propped at an angle so the sprouts do not sit in water they should be fine. Hope this helps.

Edited - I got it to sprout! It actually did pretty well. I had them outside, full morning sun, kept them moist, and I felt like it was a good percent of them sprouted. I think I am going to do it again in the spring and start them in a seedling tray, but with plenty of warm weather!

I couldn't get a single seed to sprout. It's been suggested I should have frozen the seed for a week or two before sowing.

PJ......I don't recall there being any instructions but since I have been sprouting for years, it wasn't an issue. I use a tablespoon of alfalfa or clover or any other tiny seed per tray. Soak overnight for roughly 8 hours first, then rinse morning and evening. I use 1/4 cup of lentils for lentil sprouts and about the same for garbanzo bean sprouts. Experiment!

Depends on the soil that you are using and the type of plant - Anywhere from 4 days to two weeks.

5-8 days , it takes about 2-4 weeks from them to root , my cuttings are not 40 varieties though they are random selections .

I soak for 8 to 24 hours but 8 is better, then I rinse them several times and then I put them in a quart jar with a piece of fine plastic screen fastened on with a rubber band. I rinse them 2 X a day or whenever I use the sink and in 4 to 5 days I have some really nice sprouts for salads or topping whatever stew or soup I am eating.

Yes, it is definitely better to sprout by soaking/rinsing before planting, I've tried both ways and this one is the best one, enjoy!

I use my GEO sprouting jars to start my wheat grass. I start with 1/2 cup of wheat seeds. I soak the seeds in water the first 24 hours and then rinse 3x a day for two days. They are all sprouted (and the jar is full) by the third day ready for planting in my chinese take-out trays.

It was about the same time of the year when I planted mine. As I remember it took more or less a week for them to sprout. Almost all of the seed did sprout eventually. Make sure they aren't growing inwardly, towards the ground. I tried to have mine indoors, in southern California, but my gardening skills aren't that great and they ended up dying before I could harvest them. Maybe I'll try again this year. I've seen people planting the seeds indoors and them moving them outside after it sprouts successfully. Hope it helps.

It's really simple. put about a teaspoon of seeds in each tray, with the empty base at the bottom. Pour 2 cups of water in the top tray once in the morning and once at night. Start eating sprouts in 3-5 days. We find it's best to stagger the seeds, so put a teaspoon of seeds in the bottom tray, then two days later, add a tray with a teaspoon of seeds, etc. That way you always have fresh seeds. Once sprouted, we take them out, put them in a baggie and into the fridge where they last for about two weeks. Happy eating.
