Good to know 6 weeks Thank youI find my seeds pop better with about 6 weeks dryttime . I always just start right off in a moist paper towel in a ziplock on top of my t5 ballasts.good beans will always pop within 25-30 hours for me.
we think alike FishGood idea for a thread M,im going to scuff those last MTF beans i have and try throwing them directly in some soil and see what happens.Im a little worried after you batted zero that i may have waited to long which scares me because i have beans alot older than those,lol.My usual method is wet paper towel and a baggy on the cablebox.
Were they newer beans ? don't seem to have a prob with them..Thank youI always used the paper towel method and tap H2o for many years,but on my last one,I just put them in the mix and skip that step,100% germ rate.
...i sow my beans directly into moist coco in 9oz solo cups with a second cup taped up top as a temporary humidity dome which gets removed as soon as the seedling emerges from the coco.

...oh, and Medusa, i also scuff some of my beans, not all need it, but i use an old trick with a small, empty box of stick match's and a small piece of 200 or 300 grit sandpaper, you just cut the sandpaper to fit into the box, then you put your beans inside, close it up and shake shake shake, lol.

So your keeping them outta water for awhile before soil? I usually directly in when they get that long.?i use a wet papertowel in a tupperware sandwich container. On top of my computer in a cardboard box
My cable box gets too hot.
when they start to show tails, I drain off excess water and wait for the tails to get about a 1/2 to 3/4inch long. then, i stand them up in the hole in the soil :)
How long do you "paper towel folks" wait till you put em in the soil or coco?
the towel is still wet. i just dont want to drown themSo your keeping them outta water for awhile before soil? I usually directly in when they get that long.?
Ha it's a real place ...
Ya same as me .... X told me to put them in freezer to replicate hibernation but it didn't pop the ATF's :(the towel is still wet. i just dont want to drown them
kinda like you taking them out of the bottled water and into the towel,
I drain the water when I see tail..but, most of the time, I wait till the tails are kinda long
I like to see whats happening...how vigorus the seedling is
I hate not knowing whats happening under the soil!
I barley cover the helmet when I plant em..I need a long root to bury :)
