Growing radish
Unique root structures, not mold
Between the 3rd to 5th day of germination, radish develop fine, white root hairs (cilia) which are often mistaken for mold. These white root hairs will dissipate once exposed to light. All plants bend or reach for the light source, so we recommend rotating boxfarm once per day for straight, uniformed growth.
Harvesting and storing
Harvest your radish by the 9th or 10th day for a crisp, fresh, and spicy experience. You can absolutely continue to let it grow for another day or two by adding more nutrient-enriched water solution. However, beyond 11 days radish stems tend to get chewier and develop a more bitter and sharper flavor.
Cut your radish about 1/2 inch above the roots with a scissor. Store any remaining radish in an air tight container to maintain freshness and flavors for up to five days.
