After a 40 hour soak, the bean cracked and was eager for her Solo Cup. The Cup contains Roots Organic Original soil, amended with dolomite, azomite, worm casings and silicium. But I'm lazy, this isn't "fresh" - its reused now a 2nd time. I added a bit of Mycos in the center, and gave the Cup a good soaking with ReCharge and a few drops of Roots Excellerator.
48 hours in the Cup and wah-la, we have a sprout. I'll call that her "Day 1".
Daily misting - rotating among plain RO water, Opti-Foliar, and BioTabs Boom-Boom. Day 9 she got her first feeding - .15 ltr of ReCharge with a few drops of Roots Excellerator. Here's photos of day 4 and day 9:

Updates. Day 20; growth is strong and even, but starting to see a bit of yellow coloration around the edges. Daily misting and lite daily feeding .15 to .20 ltr with MegaCrop, Sweet Candy & Kelp.
Day 22; the vertical growth is sufficiently strong, and the lower branching abundant, that I decided to top her today. Here she is before and right after the cut:
Leaf stress continues to advance, and looks to me like classic calcium-magnesium deficiency. I suppose this is reasonable for 3 weeks under the Cob light. I've now added a cal-mg supplement to the daily feed program.
