3/18/2021 - Today is the first day - I use a glass of water for the first 12 to 18 hours and then into a paper towel it goes for 24 to 48 hours. Should have them ready to plant by then!!
3/19/2021 - poured the glass onto a paper towel, popped it into a sandwich bag and blew in it before sealing. Hopefully in 2 days we have some tails!!
3/21/2021 - We have one tail so far today - its a little under an hour till the full 48 hour mark - may have to go another 12 or 18 hours before we get the second...
Planted both tonight...one had just cracked the hull and the other had a tail showing so I thought I'd give it a shot
@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
