#resilience #microgreens #sunflowershoots #heat

In my years growing Sunflower Shoots I have never run into this! I recently purchased another germination mat (heating pad) to put under a stack of sunflower to encourage prompt germination since they really like summer time root zone temperatures. I placed a stack of 3 sunflower shoots on it, with a paver on the top like usual. I didn't peek at the bottom tray like I usually do because I didn't want to disturb the seeds while germinating. Whoops!

When I uncovered them 4 days in, the bottom tray had a massive baked/moldy section in the middle, where the most pressure had been. That part of the tray was toast. Apparently the new heating pad puts out A TON OF HEAT. I had heard about this in a discussion between Donny Greens and Curtis Stone (The Urban Farmer) in a From the Field episode, but I had never encountered this. Don't let it happen to you! Test new products (especially from different manufactures) before using them in your production!
