I’ve found that going straight into soil is best for me and my girls.
Prepare your tub with soil, put your bean in a fingernail size hole and level over. 500ml corrected water over her, then I use a clear plastic solo cup with a hole cut in the bottom ~ 10mm, upturn it and bury the top in the soil with bean in the middle.
They tend to take roughly 2-3 days until she breaks surface and shows her day 1 leaves 😉 using this method with autos especially I’ve had 100% success (touch wood). I believe (although I cannot prove), that less handling of the bean the better... personally speaking it scares the hell out of me that I used to pick it up from the tissue and place it in soil, just because of how fragile they are. In fact I don’t even touch the bean. Just straight from packet to soil 🤣
Much love fam
Thanks @SegaYGriega, - I will post some better pictures as these don’t really do her justice as I took them just after I had flushed her… she’s gotten fatter 👊
