Week of 5/27/21
Switched to 11/13 on 5/28/21
Watered in on 5/28/21 at a pH: 6.75
Gave 1 gallon
Defoliated right before watering in on 5/28/21
It was a pretty hefty defo but she bounced back fine the next day.
Not much else to report with this week. Everything seemed to go well
She continues to grow at a fairly even rate
Seems to be quite healthy this week.
The stem rub is still fruity mixed with a kind of chemical funk, but more on the chemical side this week...kind of a tangerine that's been dipped in an intense floral perfume.

@Minuteman_Organics, I appreciate the tips - never thought of that before. I used paper towel for both of them at first and had 5 of 6 ready to go so thought I'd try popping it in the soil and see if I could get it to go. Still learning and experimenting with what I like and will definitely make use of that for the future. Thanks!!
I've had beans not crack right away for me. A good tip is to rub the seed on a rough surface. I like to use a dry sponge. This will create tiny cracks that allow water to penetrate the seed coating. Works almost everytime
