6 out of 6 beans popped. and are in the solo cup nursery's for now.
The 5-gallon buckets are still breaking down and are hot with nutrients, by the time the solo cups are getting root bound it should be about 5-6 weeks from when they were created and soaked. I will keep the buckets moist to encourage the breakdown of the amendments in the soil.
and when it is time to up pot them to their final home, the food should be readily available. I hope all I have to focus on is environment and watering. so that is where we are at 2 weeks in.
