COPA Genetics Fast Purple F1

These seeds came free with purchase. I hadn't intended on popping them but things change and here we are. Typically, I germinate in soil, in red cups, but after a few misfires, I decided to go with the paper towel method so I could make sure the problem is me and not the seeds. I soaked the beans in 50/50 RO/H202 for 2 hours and moved them into a damp paper towel that had been disinfected with H202 as well. The container was closed and checked after 24 hours. Tap root had emerged so I waited another 24 hours and prepared to put in soil. That's where things went bad. I had to leave for a family emergency and left the open container sitting on my LED driver in the tent. Nine hours later I returned and ate dinner. That's when I remembered the beans. The ones with the longest tap roots were pretty dehydrated. I placed them in a damp paper towel for another 10 hours and they seemed to recover. I transplanted them into red cup and waited for them to emerge from the soil. Out of the five, one never broke the soil and petered out. I think that was the one with the longest tap root. Another, the 2nd longest struggled along but was able to take hold. The remaining three grew normally.
