When growing buckwheat they sprout unevenly so even though they might appear green and bright in 7 days, when you spread the leaves apart you will see maybe half the crop still has seed hulls that haven't bloomed so wait maybe 3-6 days more and all the hulls usually are spent by then and so much easier to clean and eat upon harvesting.
