I LOVE this kit! I got it because I wanted to grow my own wheatgrass. It was my first attempt and I couldn't be happier. The trays are on the small side. I was a little disappointed w/that at first but now I'm glad. Once the wheatgrass has some length to it, it starts getting a little on the heavy side to take to the sink and spray twice a day (I'm not using soil). If it were a large tray, it may be difficult. This is the perfect size for me. I ordered another kit plus two more trays, it will be here tomorrow. I want to start a new tray out each day so I have 7 trays of wheatgrass constantly going, one for each day of the week. I grew 3 trays this time around, started them all at the same time. I started the soaking/rinsing last Thursday night in anticipation of the kit arriving on Friday. I used 2 cups of seeds and spread them out between 3 trays. It was a thick layer in each tray. I then stacked the trays on top of each other to put weight on the seeds and stacked the 4th empty tray on top of those and put a book on it to weigh the whole thing down. I spritzed it with a water bottle every morning and evening Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues. On Weds I put all the trays onto the shelves in the stand and let the get some sun. It was AMAZING what happened in 24 hours! I juiced the first tray on Saturday at about 3 1/2 inches of growth because I didn't want to wait, I got 1.3 ounces of juice. I did the next tray the next day and got 1.7 ounces, the 3rd tray today and got 1.9 ounces. I think I put way too many seeds in. Once they swelled up and started growing, it was PACKED. I'm experimenting with how many seeds to put in future trays. I'm using 3.6 ounces for the trays I'm starting now. Aprox 1/2 cup. I used the 4th tray for broccoli sprouts. The seeds are tiny so I put unbleached paper towel down first, it turned out great! I ordered the extra trays so I could use the for spouts and microgreens. I really liked using the tray versus the mason jar for sprouting. I'm having so much fun w/it, I'm pretty sure I'll end up ordering a 3rd kit ;) I soaked the plastic joints in hot water as directed but they were still pretty difficult to get together. I didn't mind, it solid once it's put together. I'd prefer that than something that falls apart because the joints aren't tight. If you don't have a lot of hand strength you may need help putting it together. Update 7/29/18: I ordered 2 more kits. One of them had slightly different (elbow joints?) that connected the pvc, they were MUCH EASIER to fit. I guess it's hit or miss which ones we'll receive w/the kit. Sorry for the red font on my images. I couldn't figure out how to change it in my photo editing software, it was glitching out on me.
