In this video, “How to Grow Carrot Microgreens on Silicone Reusable Medium (Step-by-Step Guide)”, I show you how to grow carrot microgreens from seed to harvest using our Silicone Reusable Grow Medium in 10×20 trays—perfect for home or commercial production.
Carrot microgreens are slower to grow, but the results are worth it. You’ll learn how to seed, mist, manage extended germination, use blackout, and transition to bottom watering. By day 15, true leaves emerge, revealing tender greens with a mild, sweet carrot flavor.
We also compare two seeding densities—10g vs 15g—and after 17 days, share the harvest results to see if extra seed is worth it.
What are carrot microgreens? They’re young carrot seedlings harvested just after true leaves form. Unlike full carrots, you harvest the greens, not the root. Packed with nutrients, these vibrant carrot tops are popular with chefs for garnishes, salads, and soups thanks to their fresh flavor and elegant appearance.
All supplies seen in this video—including trays, reusable grow mats, and label clips—are linked below. Thanks for watching, and happy growing!

Why not just use diluted Clorox bleach in the water? I still think it's safer than Ozone… more quickly too. Iuse gloves when placing my hands in the water. Smells good too. No electricity needed, no isolations needed. 😂
where is the recipe for water
I was an OnTheGrow fan, but this video with AI voice over, not at all interested in watching anymore.
This was very informative. I had no idea that carrots were so different from other microgreens: such a long germination; prophylatic spray and fully growing out the first leaves. It was interesting that extra seeds didn't increase yield very much. Now that I know what to expect, I will give carrots a try. Thank you for this great video.
Using ozone seems to look quite hazardous… are there other ways to sanitize besides that?
Can you tell us about your sprayer?
Wonderful for your dancing🤣thank you for your sharing👍
I wonder if the carrot seeds will germinate quicker if they are presoaked
What is prophylactic spray, plese tell me?
