MasterBlend 4-18-38 vs Water on Broccoli Microgreens — Is It Worth the Cost?
🧪 Does MasterBlend 4-18-38 make a difference on Broccoli microgreens grown in coco coir — or can plain water get the job done? In this experiment, we grew four trays of Broccoli microgreens on coco coir — two groups received filtered tap water during bottom watering and the other two received MasterBlend 4-18-38 Tomato Blend. Same seeds, same germination, same lights. The only variable was what went in the water.
Here's what we tested:
✅ Group 1 (2 trays): Filtered tap water only during bottom watering
✅ Group 2 (2 trays): MasterBlend 4-18-38 Tomato Blend during bottom watering
Here's what we cover:
✅ MasterBlend 4-18-38 vs. plain water — controlled experiment on Broccoli microgreens
✅ Harvest weight, flavor, and appearance comparison between both groups
✅ The added cost of using MasterBlend — is the expense justified for Broccoli?
✅ Growing on coco coir with and without nutrients side by side
✅ Why we use MasterBlend for adult crops (lettuce, kale, edible flowers) and how it performs on microgreens
✅ Our recommendation on whether MasterBlend is worth adding to your Broccoli grows
We typically use MasterBlend 4-18-38 as our go-to nutrient for adult crops like lettuce, kale, collards, and edible flowers because it does wonders for coloration and flowering. This experiment tests whether those same benefits translate to microgreens — specifically Broccoli, one of the most popular crops for both home growers and commercial sellers. The results include real data on cost, yield, flavor, and appearance to help you decide.
