answered grow question 3y ago
People like to use the shot glass or water method on here a lot. Hey just put a little water in a shot glass and drop the beans in. I prefer directly into the substrate. But the majority is the water.

HELLO. After checking the main root with the paper towel method, I buried it with tweezers about 8 mm deep in coco medium. Right now I'm using very little fertilizer and just watering with pH adjusted. The light is 30 cm at 25% power.How long will it take for them to sprout?

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.
These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?

Germination struggle
I’m at a stand still in my germ process. The seed popped and showed a taproot, so I put it in my perlite. After a week, no change. I gently removed and put back into germ thinking I didn’t germ long enough. Am I dead in the water?
