Week of 5/20/21
I mixed the Recharge in at 0.75tsp per gallon after pH got down to 6.8
I then watered in on 5/22/21
Gave 0.75 gallons -
less runoff this time...gave about a total of 0.50 gallons
Not much else to report with this week. Everything seemed to go well
The Recharge did okay for this girl
She grew several inches and seems pretty hardy
There are a couple of leaves that show some signs of a little too much nitrogen...
But - not to worry...I think with a week of plain, properly ph'ed water it will be fine.
The stem rub is very fruity mixed with a kind of chemical funk...kind of a tangerine that's been dipped in an intense floral perfume.

@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
