Growth Problem With Wheatgrass

by Kathy
(Austin)

My wheatgrass is growing way too tall, way too fast. It doesn't leaf out in a healthy way, just ultra skinny, way too long, and weak strands.

I use potting soil and Azomite fertilizer, and am diligent about keeping the soil moist, and there is no mold. I also keep it out of direct sunlight, as I thought was recommended. I pre-soaked the seeds for 12 hours before putting on the trays.

What am I doing wrong?


Eryn's reply: It sounds like you are doing everything right to grow healthy looking wheatgrass.

May I ask if you bought your wheatgrass seed from a good wheatgrass seed supplier? You know, wheatgrass seed or grain that is meant for wheatgrass growing and has a good track record for growing beautiful wheatgrass?

The most important part of wheatgrass growing is having good seed.

Here is a picture of some wheatgrass I am growing right now. It is a little over 1 week old and is about 6" - 6 1/2" high.












Here is a closer look below. These pictures might allow you to see further if your wheatgrass looks too thin in comparison.

When growing your very first batch of wheatgrass, I would make sure to always buy your wheatgrass seed from a highly reputable wheatgrass seed supplier. You can purchase this top growing seed through my Amazon wheatgrass supplies store.

After you know what healthy looking wheatgrass looks like, grown from that high quality wheatgrass seed, then you can search out for a local supplier of wheat grain if you choose. Then compare just how good your local supply of wheatgrass seed measures up.

If the wheatgrass does not grow so well, you can keep searching locally until you find a better performing wheatgrass growing seed. Or go back to your trusted wheatgrass seed supplier.

Please let me know if you feel you have a high quality wheatgrass growing seed and we can take it from there.

You'll get there Kathy!
