Test the water\u2019s pH and add wood ash or lime to raise the pH or add phosphoric acid to lower it. You can also decide to add your nutrients to the water as they grow mat does not have sufficient ingredients for the proper growth of the chia microgreens.Step 2 \u2013 Prepare the Grow MatThe grow mat should be the same size as the growing tray, approximately 10\u2033 by 20\u2033 in size. Place your grow mat in the already prepared water and nutrients solution.

Evenly distribute the chia seeds so that they fit the recommended density.You can now mist them using a spray bottle to reach the required moisture content. Cover the container with aluminum foil or another same-sized container that is lightproof. Keep the seeds covered until they begin to germinate. Open the covering often to check for molds and also to water them.Step 4 \u2013 Remove the Lightproof CoveringAfter 2-3 days, the chia seeds will begin to germinate. When you see the first shoot, know it\u2019s time to remove the covering and expose the seedlings to light. The light will help them make food and grow faster.Do not use the spray bottle to water them at this stage; rather, use a watering can. Always check the microgreens for any kind of pests or diseases that may affect them.
