TerraFibre Hemp Grow Mats 10” x 20”
An easy way to grow microgreens indoors year-round, these fibrous mats let even beginner gardeners produce a successful crop without a lot of mess & effort. Simply place the mat in any suitably sized grow tray that has a raised pattern in the bottom for air circulation. Sprinkle seeds of your choice, then keep them moist to support germination and sustain them until they’re ready to harvest. If you sell live microgreens, these are the perfect media!
Why hemp?
Industrial hemp has extraordinary natural properties that make it an ideal growing medium. Here's the science.
Made from industrial hemp fibres, these mats act as a natural, soil-free growing surface for microgreens, wheatgrass, sprouts and other short-rotation crops.
Hemp fibres hold a high amount of water, keeping seeds consistently moist through germination and early growth.
Completely natural mats that break down after use, making cleanup simple and sustainable.
A natural alternative to coconut coir, rockwool and peat moss. pH neutral, with no pre-soaking or buffering, and consistent moisture and airflow for clean germination.
Grown and manufactured in Canada from locally sourced industrial hemp. Producing close to home shortens transport distances and keeps quality and supply consistent.

How to use
From seed to harvest in six steps.
Pre-soak your seeds if the seed directions recommend it, typically 6 to 8 hours.
Put the mat in a grow tray fibre side up and sprinkle seeds evenly at the recommended rate. Wet with pH neutral water until the mat is saturated but not sitting in water.
Stack the trays or use a humidity dome to encourage high germination and strong rooting. Keep them dark for the first one to four days, depending on the seed.
Place the mat under a grow light or in direct sunlight for roughly 8 to 10 hours a day.
Keep the mat saturated by spraying once or twice a day.
When it's ready, cut the crop with scissors. Leave the greens in the mat until you eat them and they'll keep longer.
5 step guide
Whether you're setting up your first tray at home or running a commercial operation, our step-by-step guide covers pre-wetting, seeding density, the blackout phase, daily watering and harvest technique.
Read the full grow guideTerraFibre grow mats are made from Canadian-grown hemp fibre, sourced from local farmers across Alberta. The fibre is separated, cleaned and processed into a 100% biodegradable soilless growing medium. The white backing is biodegradable cellulose.
It depends on your growing environment, since every greenhouse and grow room has different humidity. We recommend spritzing once or twice a day as the mat needs it. For the first three days, stack the trays and keep the seeds dark. After that, around 8 to 10 hours of light and plenty of water will encourage strong germination and growth.
We recommend soaking seeds for roughly 6 to 8 hours before sprinkling them across the mat. Check the seed packet for the time your variety needs.
Plain tap water will do the job, assuming the pH isn't extreme. The mats need watering once or twice a day along with roughly 8 hours of light. Seeds carry enough nutrients to take them through the full microgreen lifecycle.
Yes. If your tap water isn't close to neutral, around 7.0, you may have trouble germinating seeds or growing healthy seedlings. Test your tap water before use, and if it falls outside the ideal range, use pH-adjusted or filtered water.
All microgreen seeds can be grown on our mats. If you're switching from another medium, run some trials to find what works for you, since growing techniques vary by region. Other seeds such as flowers will germinate, but once they pass the true leaf stage they'll need nutrients and will likely need transplanting into a larger container.
Yes, though hemp fibre will dull your scissors quickly. The mats cut easily to fit various tray sizes. We use a mechanised fabric cutter with a sharpening wheel, which works well for regular cutting.
No. Open the packet, pull out a mat and place it in your grow tray. Give it a good first watering so the hemp is completely saturated, with no standing water visible over the mat.
They're designed for single use, which is why we made them fully biodegradable and compostable. After harvest, the mat and roots go into your compost or garden beds.
The mats sold online are 300 gsm. If you need thicker mats such as 500 gsm or 750 gsm, contact us and we can have them custom made.
