I've always had struggled with mold in my cat's grass.

Now, I tried growing it in straight tab water, without nutrients. I might add some fertilizer down the road if it lives long enough. But normally this shouldn't be needed, since it only lives for a few days or two weeks max, and the nutrients included in the grains should be enough for that.

I germinated it in a sprout glass, and when the first roots formed, I transferred it into my custom net cup and added some LECA on top.

I need something similar for my dog, but I haven't thought about hydro. Might scale this up and give it a try. Thanks ๐Ÿ‘
