https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MlMLm1MmRU I like Jeb The Gardender - the truth is microgreens are pretty easy.

A cheaper version of this - https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Kitchen-Sprouter-VICTORIO-VKP1... works wonders - doesn't even need light, and as long as you are in generally balmy weather you just add tap water 2-3 times a day and you're good (the seeds contain all the energy.)

Jeb has some fun setups but you can buy a cheap hydro kit or make your own out of plastic tubs/buckets - for small stuff cheap cheap LED lighting will do - I have seen people use the stuff for tracklights for the smaller stuff - otherwise grow lights are pretty straightforward to acquire.

If you live in the states you can go to your local grow shop and pick up a lot of this cheap because of the popularity of growing your own cannabis, but its good for the rest of us indoor gardeners because of the availability :)
