Microwaves are not going to mutate dna. They don't have enough energy to break any bond in the dna strand. Energy is quantized. One quanta of microwave will not have a chemical effect.

I think a better way of thinking about it is that microwave has a thermal effect on the outer skin of an organism (which is a valid concern) and cress has less volume to surface.

If there is a negative effect it should be seen in one generation. It may in fact be dangerous for it. That's why I'm saying do it. Let's find out.
