That mug i mean bud is nic lol
Drum roll, please..chaaaaaaaaaching$$$$ 5 of the 7 beans have popped in 24 hours including the one that looked sketchy..so far, so good and back to sleep we go!So, I received my CC gear..GSC (thin mint pheno) and am ready. I'm the bean whisperer and can get most anything to pop unless it's old or inferior. I have no stake in this other than yield and good product. I don't know Swerve or the "stories" and can give an unbiased opinion supported by factual pics.
First off, imagine my surprise when I opened the pack and found SEVEN FEM beans instead of six!Several beans are light colored, do not appear as "typical" viable with one true sketchy which may be why there were seven IMO. As you can see, I use paper towel method..as current cup winner, these beans should be fresh, so no soaking prior..in plastic bag on top of modem and covered..now we wait..check back for status update.

i use piranha to help prevent any damping off and minimize moving from paper towel to pot. i like germing in pellets, real easy and wont break those microroot hairs transplanting. can also let them grow a nice rootball in the pellet by allowing the roots to get airpruned. next up is root riot and rapid rooter cubes and ill cast my final judgement for germing!

i was gonna do a batch of root riots this most recent time but the seeds where way to rare. impossible for me to replace so i just figured ole trusty dusty was the way.
i got 2 packs of some hortilabs il excitement on when the time comes. i want the root riots to work so badly. it just seems like such a good way. I've seen a lot of people heading that way too it seems

i hate when that shit happens (trust me i've had good genies do that)..when i do see the centimeter thing they usually take a few days to pop then die..these germed quick..we'll see what tomorrow brings..

im just looking for foolproof germ. so fragile when starting off...
YES IMO if you have something rare ..trusty dusty is the way..root and new mixes..super soil with webbing? wtf..do what works this way if the beans dissapoint you'll know why.
I just use tweezers..make sure everything is clean..my hands, too..when i took that pic this am i sprayed cleaner for the stove top and realized the uncovered germed beans were sitting right there..DOH! i checked the area and couldn't feel any mist near them..keep my fingers crossed. so many things can happen though..
so, here i transplanted 4 seedlings to soil..using tweezers, touching ONLY shell/leaf area to drop in prepared hole and watered around seedling..washing my hands..i also prepared a new paper towel "bed" for the remaining 3..again not touching and heating up bed before transferring them in..i like to keep seed/leaf above soil to give best shot in establishing roots..i will check and water 2x day..T5 on day 1 veg is 18" above and exposed leaf already greening up.
fox farm soil and spring water 7.5ph
here we have a little progress made on one bean..i've swapped out bed again for freshness and tap root development without rooting itself to paper towel..seedlings are doing well with T5 being dropped a few more inches..if the shell does not fall off soon, i will gently remove..
I've been using Root Riot plugs the past 6+months with 100% success cloning+poppin' beans.
I used the cheap peat pellets before and wasn't satisfied with the rate of success.
