Week of 4/15/2021
This week has gone well so far for this girl...
Its a slow grower - again, I think that is mostly my error more than anything wrong with the plant.
It does seem like she is starting to take to the soil and looks like I should see some good growth in the next week.
Watered once with a pH of 6.6
No training yet for this girl...maybe I'll top next week, but that all depends on how it continues on.

@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
