When to harvest sprouts?

Postby Zooey » Wed Feb 01, 2012 9:48 am

I just sprouted some millet, and now the little tips of a plant are peeking out. Then I realized that I didn't know how long to wait until I gave it to my budgies. So...
When do you harvest the sprouts? Is it when just the tips start pushing out? Or until it grows longer?
They're not your whole life, but they make your life whole.

Right now! Right when the tails start to 'pop'.
