Wheatgrass Growing Guide

Active step 1/4

Day 0/7

1. 1

   Overnight Soaking

   Day 0

   Soak wheat berries for 8-12 hours until they swell noticeably. Drain and rinse before planting.

   Done

   • Use organic hard winter wheat berries
   • Seeds should swell to nearly double their size
2. 2

   Thick Layer Planting

   Day 1

   Spread soaked seeds in a single dense layer on growing medium. Wheatgrass tolerates dense planting well.

   Done

   • A thin layer of soil on top helps root establishment
   • Keep evenly moist during germination
3. 3

   Rapid Green-Up

   Day 3

   After 2-3 day blackout, blades turn green quickly under 12-16 hours of light. Growth is vigorous and fast.

   Done

   • Water daily — wheatgrass drinks a lot
   • Prevent mold with good air circulation
4. 4

   Juice-Ready Harvest

   Day 7

   Harvest when blades reach 15-20 cm tall, just before they split into a second blade. This is peak nutrition.

   Done

   • Cut just above the root mat for clean harvest
   • Best used fresh in juices and smoothies
