Well, I started my fodder system

Well, im into my 6th day and nothings sprouted yet. I put enough water on them to completely cover the grain even tho it drips down into lower containers that I do the same with. Not looking good

oopps I lied. I just went to chase a chicken out of them and I see that ive got sprouts in the first one.

How often are you watering them ?

What is the day and night temperature ?

so far, it being mostly cloudy days, I been watering them once, BUT drowning them when I do it.

Nights in the 50s. Days in the high 70s

You need to water twice a day, minimum. Mine get it every 3 hours, on a timer.

If by 50's, you mean low 50's, that is low enough to slow down sprouting.

You can keep doing what you're doing, but the results will be much slower.

Your choice.

I've found anywhere in the 50's to slow them down enough to the point they just aren't worth growing. They need a bit of heat, preferably in the 60's or 70's. It's only hotter than that, that you chance mold growth.

Well, they gort water tonight. We had a storm pass through.
I ment the 50s at night. The 60s/70s daytime.

I been watering them with a sprinkling can with the top off. My boys gonna give me his water pump this weekend sos I can use my pressure sprinkler on them. Ill get my own pump on my next check.
