F.A.Q's

Growing from seed requires stable care for about 30 days before harvest for greens and herbs. Missing early consistency can delay results. Starting from seedlings means the first 15 days of fragile growth are already complete. With proper light and nutrients, harvest is usually 10–18 days away. Monthly rotation supports stable, repeatable production rather than spikes and gaps.

Leafy greens and many herbs reach first harvest around 30 days from seed. If you begin with seedlings that are already about 15 days established, you are starting halfway through that cycle. This shortens your path to harvest and improves predictability.

The Always Growing Plan aligns with this 30-day lifecycle, rotating plants monthly to maintain steady harvest and quality.

Seeds require stable moisture and temperature to sprout. Variability during the first 7–10 days can delay or prevent germination.

This is why growing from seed typically takes about 30 days to first harvest for leafy greens. Seedlings begin about two weeks into that lifecycle, skipping this unpredictable stage and placing you roughly 10–18 days from harvest under stable conditions.

From seed, most leafy greens and herbs require about 30 days before first harvest. The first 10–15 days are the most fragile stage. Seedlings & Co plants arrive already about 15 days established, meaning they have passed through the unstable germination phase. This improves early consistency but does not eliminate the need for proper light, nutrients, and environment.

Hydroponic seedlings require dissolved nutrients in the water from day one. Follow the recommended dilution levels. If planting into soil, use lightly fertilized soil and avoid overfeeding during the first few days while roots settle.

Hydroponic plants rely on dissolved nutrients for growth. Signs of imbalance may include pale new leaves, slowed growth, or reduced yield. Refreshing the nutrient solution every 2–3 weeks and following recommended mixing guidelines helps maintain stability.

Ideally within 24 hours of delivery.Plants absorb nutrients in mineral form regardless of the growing medium. Hydroponic nutrients deliver these minerals in a dissolved form through water. The source may vary, but the plant receives the same essential elements it would take up from soil.

Hydroponic systems require nutrients that fully dissolve in water. Using soil fertilizers may clog systems or create imbalance. If choosing your own nutrients, ensure they are labeled for hydroponic use and follow recommended dilution levels.

Ideally within 24 hours of delivery.Flavor depends on plant variety, light, maturity, and nutrient balance. Properly mixed hydroponic nutrients support steady growth without negatively affecting taste. Overfeeding or imbalance may alter growth quality, which is why consistent mixing is important.

Leafy greens such as lettuce and arugula typically reach first harvest about 25–35 days from seed under stable indoor conditions. Seedlings & Co plants arrive already about 15 days established, which usually places you 10–18 days away from your first harvest. Outdoor timing may vary depending on temperature and season.

Herbs such as basil, parsley, and mint generally take 30–45 days from seed before first harvest. Since Seedlings & Co plants are already about two weeks established, you are typically 14–21 days from harvesting under stable indoor light and temperature conditions.

Strawberries may produce smaller fruit during early development or under limited light. As plants mature and stabilize, fruit size often improves. Stable lighting, balanced nutrients, and consistent temperature support stronger production.

Fruiting plants require more time to mature. From seed, tomatoes and peppers typically take 60–90 days before producing meaningful harvests.

When starting from established seedlings, you are usually 45–75 days from harvest depending on variety and light conditions.

Basil naturally begins to flower as it matures or when exposed to long daylight hours or stress. Pinching off flower buds and pruning regularly helps extend leaf production. Once flowering continues heavily, replacing the plant will get you back to leaf quality.

Leafy greens can be harvested multiple times by removing outer leaves while leaving the center intact. Over time, texture may firm and flavor may intensify.

Many growers rotate plants monthly to maintain tender quality and steady production.

Wilting can occur if roots are too dry, oversaturated, or recently disturbed during transplanting. In hydro systems, ensure proper water circulation and oxygenation. In soil, check moisture levels. Most plants recover quickly once conditions stabilize.
