3/26/2021 - Unfortunately the second bean never cracked open. I'm gonna continue to water it along with the seedling going in hopes that before I transplant I will have two plants.
- The one that did germ is doing well - not stretching too much right now, which is good. Had some trouble with that my first time around.
- Under a humidity dome until I up pot in a week to a week and a half.
- I'll be up potting directly into a 5 gal I think - and then a 7 gal maybe one or two weeks before flipping to flower.
- The casing is still on the seedling but I expect that to fall off in the next day or two
@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
