Step 9. Water generously everyday in the morning and mist at night
Step 10. After three days uncover the grass. (grass color will be a yellowish color)
Step 11. Continue to water and mist until the grass blade splits.
Step 12. One blade has split Harvest the entire tray and place into a plastic bag
Step 13. Juice

Here are some pictures of my grass:





I cover my seeds for three days with an extra black tray but you can use anything dark. If mold starts to grow put a fan on your grass.














This grass has just been uncovered after three days in the dark
 This grass is ready to be harvested  because the blade has split
                                                                   .

This is grass that I have harvested. Keeps up to 14 days in refrigerator
