Thinning technique

After you've transplanted your seedlings to the growing shelf. Each pod should be thinned to 1 seedling. To do this pull out the excess seedlings using a pair of tweezers or your fingers gently.

Harvest the entire plant by cutting just 2 inches above the base of the stem. If harvesting for baby leaf, harvest the entire plant, but leave ⅓ of the plant’s height for regrowth.
