Countertop Microgreens Farm with Grow Light

* Disclaimer : my full spectrum grow led strips is still in transit.  I used  a regular led strip for the demo, but it is not recommended  *
 

Details

• This microgreens farm is compatible with 5"x5" grow pads or Agar Agar gel.  The seeds tray grid is smaller than seeds so you won't loose them.
• The width of the light hood is compatible with 1 to 3 strips.  A USB full spectrum grow led strip is recommended

 New: I added a rounded light hood (lightHoodv2_rounded.stl)

Instructions (updated)

1. Soak the grow mat in water.  Personally, I use Terrafibre 5"x5" hemp mat, but any grow mat will do. 
2. Put the wet grow mat in the seeds tray 
3. Add your seeds to the mat.  Spread them tightly, but evenly
4. Place the seeds tray into the body
5. Add the seeds cover to ensure roots grow into the mat and not over it
6. Put the lid over everything
7. Spray water on the seeds twice a day.  Empty extra water.
8. Once the seeds show leaves:
   1. Remove the seeds cover and the lid.  It's not necessary anymore
   2. Add water in the body, but do not go over the seeds tray support.  
      The water is for the roots only.  The grow mat must not touch the water.
   3. Plug the grow light
   4. Change the water and spray the leaves twice a day
