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.

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.
