i would just like to share quickly how i recommend to pop beans.

if germ rates are still low and or stress makes more males or hermies, then thats my bad.

but, if you choose not to follow the method, as being tried and true for years with 1000's of beans for me, you are on your own lol

- fill the bottom of a beer cup with 100ml plain water

- drop in the beans

- saturate for 48 hours

- allows tap root to really suck in some water to charge up the rest of the embryo

- this also makes sure you find the most vigorus specimens, as typically the longer the tap root, the faster it germed (law of 4)

this will guarantee complete saturation of the seeds, and soften up the shells to prevent abnormal popping, sprouting and or potential suffocation while trying to shed its pod

- i use prop flats with 72 site inserts. i make sure to fully saturate the coco to a point where they will not need another fedding for at least 7-10 days subject to rh in the area, outside vs inside temps etc

- poke holes in the coco sites with a scredriver, pencil etc for roughly a bit longer then the tap root poking out

- make sure seed pod is still cover with a layer of coco once tap root is submerged in the medium

this will also work weel with sunshine mix or promix, but i like coco best

Man i remember when you could just buy an grow seeds.... Az

so the beans should be up in 1-3 days from planting, and may still have a tough shell on them once standing.

it is easy now to gently remove this almost spent pod by just pulling it apart and open with both hands ei. thumb and pointer fingers

make sure to peel off the see thruough skin the pod may have left on the fresh new leaves

i always have to do this to a couple random seedlings here or there.

be very careful not to damage any part of the fragile seedlings.

it will cause problems and stress for the first part of their seedling stage

of have had the worst results from:

rockwool and all its forms

peat pucks or pellets

rapid rooters and all other like products

Thats if you get any beans from you Don't order from grow your own It's the new Bcdepot may the react your safely an soundly What a bunch of shit

[fatburt]

kind of funny,i did a side by side experiment with peat pucks,promix(like you do it) and rapid rooters...the rapid rooters were by far the best,out grew the other 2 methods by 100%,the peat pucks being seconfd and the soil was the worst growth,...very slow compared to the other 2,but rapid rooters were by far the best....

[med-man]

i use coco actually. promix is my old method.

i also use h202. doubt you would use that with the bennies in rapid rooters
