I have very hard well water but you can use filtered water, reverse osmosis, or distilled water. City water may have chemicals in it that might prevent the growth. I boiled my first batch of water and let it cool to soak the seeds. I've had good luck and my grass is thick and full. I did lots of research on hydroponics before starting. This is how I grew it. I had planted wheatgrass in soil before. I usually gave my cats the planter and they would pull the grass out by the roots and drag soil across my kitchen. I decided to try to grow it hydroponically. I didn't want to waste money on planters not knowing how I'd do so I made my own planter to try first. If you grow in soil, soaking the seeds before planting is probably best. I went to the dollar store and bought 2 matching food containers with lids. When stacked together, I could see there was at least an inch between them. I heated an ice pick in a flame and punched holes in the bottom of one container. This was very time-consuming but cheap. I had to keep wiping down the ice pick with paper towels because of the melting plastic. I had some dehydrator screen and cut one to fit the bottom of a container, for the one with the holes. I measured my screen by placing a container on top of it and taking a marker to draw a circle on the screen. Then just cut it out with scissors I poured dry wheatgrass seed into the food container without the holes about 1/8 inch thick to see how much seed I would need. It will swell once the seeds are wet. I mixed a solution of 1 1/2 tsp of 3% hydrogen peroxide with 1 cup of warm water and a TBS of table sugar. I made a few cups of this solution. I mixed it up well and poured this solution over my seeds to soak. I covered my food container with the lid tightly and placed it in a dark cupboard (that's important) for about 36 hours and ignored it. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down in light so it has to be put in the dark. That's why it's sold in brown bottles. The hydrogen peroxide keeps nasties from growing on your seeds, helps soften the outer seed hulls, gives them oxygen, and helps to sprout seeds. The sugar gives them a boost of energy. After 36 hours I took the container from the cupboard and I could see most of the seeds sprouting. I carefully poured them into the container with the holes and screen. I gently rinsed them with a not too warm trickle from my sink. I popped the LID BACK ON and then placed that container in the other container without adding more water. I put them back in the cupboard. I took them out TWICE daily and gave them a gentle rinse, covered them, and put them back in the dark cupboard. Make sure you rinse the bottom container with hot water to keep it clean. Just don't rinse the container with the seeds with hot water. You will not see any green while doing this because to turn green they need light. So don't panic and just watch them sprout and grow. After 2 days of doing that, I took the containers out of the cupboard and after rinsing I placed them on a shelf under the light without the lid. I still didn't add water to the bottom container even though I saw a few roots coming out. Instead, I gently rinsed them under a trickle so that all the seeds got a drink twice daily. The sprouts turned green overnight. There was no bad smell or fuzzy stuff growing. I didn't add water to the bottom container until I saw roots growing that could reach down into the water. You don't want the seeds soaking in water. Every day I rinsed the bottom container in hot water to keep it clean. Once the roots started to come down I added just enough barely warm water to the bottom container so the roots would reach. The problem was I didn't have quite enough holes in the container for all the roots to go through. I had to give the roots in the container a drink. So twice daily I still give them a rinse and rinsed that bottom container in hot water. I don't see any dead wheatgrass or have any nasty odor. You can see how thick my grass grew. I know there are other ways to grow hydroponically but this was low expense and worked. I have now ordered some real hydroponic growing wheatgrass containers and a liquid hydroponic fertilizer. I'm thinking I'll just add a few drops to the water so the grass grows faster. I've been growing this over a week but I would like to see if I can grow it faster with hydropic food. To this day I rinse it twice daily and change the water. Every time I look into the water in the bottom container it's cloudy so make sure you keep that water clean. If you don't nasty things will grow in your wheatgrass.

Super easy to sprout in indirect light! I’ve moved the plant to partly sunny parts of my property outside and it seemed to last longer than if I left it inside the house. Seeds have sprouted in hot, or even cool environments. Very satisfied cat and human.

I'm a cat grass newbie. This seems pretty fool-proof. I used the lid from a restaurant take-out container and put an inch of dirt from my compost pile in it. You have to add a pretty solid layer of seed and keep it well watered. It sprouted in a few days but it is best to keep the cats from disturbing it until the roots grow deeper. Once it was lush and about 3-4 inches high, it lasted for another 4 weeks.

Grow this in a mug for my cat. The cat loves to eat it and the grass sprouts in about 2 days and lasts for a good while. Pretty good product!

First wheatgrass seeds I've ever bought. Seem to be good quality, taste wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. After juicing, the juice tasted similar to a shamrock shake you'd buy from a fast food restaurant, easy to drink. Only gripe is it took a while to get the seeds to sprout. I was pressed for time, says 6-10 hours, I soaked them for 6 with no luck, so I soaked them again for another 6 hours the next day and they luckily sprouted (make sure to have plenty of time for soak). Seeds grew well ontop of soil in any traditional flower pot. Other than that seems like excellent quality stuff that grows fast and more importantly is organic. Thanks!

I helped my daughter-in-law, a 1st Grade teacher with a project for her class. I planted the seeds after soaking (followed instructions) in 24 oz, plastic soup cups (drill holes in bottom for drainage) filled with garden soil (leave a thumbnails depth from the top. Pre soak the soil. Use a soup spoon to spoon out the wet seed and the backside of the soup spoon to spread the soaked seeds on the top of the garden soil. I covered the cups with window screen to keep the birds out. Keep the seeds moist in a sunny location. All 24 cups of my project germinated and sprouted within 7 days, They were 2 inches long by 14 day +or-.

These seeds have been super worth it! The instructions are easy to follow and get you started growing some healthy wheatgrass. It does grow pretty quickly and long and is very functional. I make trays of wheatgrass for my guinea pigs and they love it. Worth the money!

Purchased these for kitty greens and I am very pleased. They sprout in 2-3 days and grow quickly. So hardy and continue to grow for almost two weeks. I actually have to cut them occasionally as they grow to over a foot tall. Our cat loves the grass.

Very good quality
