Week of 5/13/21
Really not all that much to report this week...
I think I gave a little too much in my top dress last week - I am seeing some signs of nute burn
But - I am not too worried about it.
I ordered some Recharge and got it at the end of the week and will use it in my next watering.
Hoping that will reintroduce more bacteria/mycorrhizae and help use the top dress properly
I watered them all on 5/16/21 at pH: 6.1 -
Gave each 0.75 gallons -
Left a full gallon in the runoff for all 5 ladies in the tent

@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
