Growing Guide

What you'll need:

  • 1 shallow or deep tray with no holes
  • 1 shallow or deep tray with holes
  • Basil seed
  • Grow medium
  • Something to mist the soil and seeds with
  • Clear humidity dome (vents CLOSED)

Instructions:

  1. Make sure your grow room is around 72-74 degrees (22-24 Celsius). We keep ours at 72 degrees (22-23 Celsius)
  2. Put your tray with holes inside of a tray without holes
  3. Fill your tray (with holes) with soil (we fill them about 3/4 full), and mist your soil to a normal planting amount
  4. Spread 8g of seeds, evenly, across the entire tray
  5. Mist the seeds again to get them wet (no need to pre-soak them!)
  6. Place your clear humidity dome (if it has vents, make sure they are CLOSED) on top, and place the entire tray set onto a shelf, under the lights
  7. NOTE: Basil does not like to be stacked, weighted, or blacked out. Plant them directly into the light.

Leave the clear humidity dome in place for at least 7 days days. Mist them every single day, once per day until you remove the clear humidity dome. The seeds need to stay moist during germination.

On day 7-8, remove the clear humidity dome, and start bottom watering them, once per day. Harvest on day 17-28. If you plan to harvest them on day 28 (or later), it's advised that you plant them in a deep tray.
