Week of 4/29/2021
Everything went really well this week.
Started the 18/6 light cycle on 4/29/21 and will slowly titrate down to about 16/8 over the next couple of weeks until flip
Watered on 4/29/21 at 6.8pH and used .4 gallons each and left a runoff of 1.3 gallons for all 5 sharing the same runoff bin
Topped her on 4/29/21 before watering her
Pretty excited about the explosion of growth after the topping. Its shot up through the whole week!!

@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
