Indoor Casper79's LowRyder#2, 200 watt Apollo 6 LED soil grow in stealth cab

You don't even have to pre-soak the soil! If you feel like it, dip them in a water for 24 hours like Killernecrox said, it may help them sprout faster. Only do about 6 - 10 mists each day, just to get the top MOIST but not soaked. Once in the morning (5 mists) and once in the evening (another 5). They'll surely sprout this time mate, giving you some karma here!
Go get 'em!

Cool. Thanks Killernecrox. About 3 times is what ive been doing. I put them straight to the soil. No soaking or anything this time. :Sharing One:

Thanks for the encouragement and good karma Fruzzle. I appreciate everybodys help. Other than misting Im not gonna even touch the beans and give it up to 14 days as Mindzeye told me.

I personally dont spray anything with a humidity dome on there.. Your making a humid rainforest type of environment around them and it shouldnt dry out fast at all...

 

[Mindzeye]

Oh also misting with humidity domes on might be why the last beans you tried rotted.. Here is a simple method I use with near 100% rate with soil, soil is the easiest IMO to sprout seeds.

Soak bean in distilled water for 12 hours, the bean should sink, you might need to give it a poke with your finger, once it sinks its ready, I don't wait for a tap root.

Water soil until you see runoff then plant bean 1/2 in down and place dome over area, then forget about it, just a visual check to see if it sprouted daily.. No misting or anything..

It could be too much moisture under the surface of the soil, by not misting and having a dome on it the medium slowly dries and once it hits the right moisture content the bean sprouts. Its simple and effective. This is recreating what happens to wild seeds, Seed falls, soil gets wet, soil starts to dry, bean sprouts...

My method is identical to Mindzeye's method except that i don't use any dome and i just let them do their job. Have some faith in them. In the end, you will benefit from the learning process. Cheers :Sharing One:

Is there a reason you don't wanna use a wet paper towel In a ziplock? Makes germing easy. You just get a paper towel wet ( not dripping but fully damp) fold it in half, place seeds in and fold over seeds, put it in a ziplock bag, blow a little air into the bag, set it somewhere warm around 70-75 degrees
I've heard LR has hard seed shells and it takes a while for them to germ as well.

Btw if your soil is around 70 degrees F your seed will pop much faster. Also if your temps can stay up, then turn the lights off until you see the seed sprout. They are underground and don't need light. It's heat they are looking for.

Hope his helps

Thanks Mindzeye for that info. I still also have 1 more LowRyder EasyRyder bean and 1 Delicious Northern Lights Blue bean Im saving for next time. This time I am ONLY misting the top soil a few squirts once a day until I see popping above soil. If I didnt have bad luck with this lately, id have no luck at all. LOL. But I'm not giving up guys. Im not a quitter. What is the maximum amount of time that it should take a bean to pop above soil? I was figuring 7 days tops? :dunno: Im taking ALL the advice ive been giving on AFN. I cant afford to keep letting beans wither away like thay have been.

Seeds could take anything from 2days up to 20 days to germinate. Its nature and it likes to do its thing its own way. Didnt know you were Irish.. Conas a ta tu?

 

[Casper79]

Wow I did not know that Briain. Not sure what the temp of my soil is. And yes Im Irish 100%. And Tá mé go maith, go raibh mhaith agat :Sharing One:

Tairy Greene I used the wet paper towel and ziplock bag and had NO luck. Not sure why :dunno:

Yeah I only can write and say a few words and phrases myself. My parents are from Dublin and County Cork. Ive only been a few times. Well I just gave my 2 ladies 200 ml of plain water each. Its been almost a week since they had any water other than the top soil being misted. I just watered the middle of each pot. Oh and the LR#2 beans didnt make it and rotted somehow so now i have 2 DNA Sleestack x Skunk going in case you or anybody missed that in a previous post.
