To late to sprout a bean hoping for a big plant?

[TurboTokes]

Having never vegged before, frost has just left my area (southern ontario canada)

Is it to late to sprout the seed and plant it straight outdoors?? Ive got a 20 gallon pot of promix sitting doing nothing, just not sure if it would be a waste in such a huge pot. Would like to get a good size plant just not sure if I missed the window

20 gallons outdoors is not a huge pot. I would start them in a small cup for a week or two then transplant tho...

Even if you don't get the huge haul you want, you'll still get something, which is better than nothing.

Good luck.

It's never too late to drop seeds.

My friend Nina gave me those bean seeds. They are the Filipino version of the yard long bean.

Well a 20 gallon pot is pretty big when its being filled with promix and perlite and being waterred like its hydro on drippers.

Outdoors just adds a twist, wasnt sure if I would even fill this big pot if I popped beans today

Say you dropped seeds in cups of soil today {5-18}. Sprouts in 3 days to a week, then 3-4 weeks of veg. That would have you transplanting June 15-22. So if you are harvesting in October, that would be 3+ months. With the drip system you will be able to get enough water to them, even if they do get rootbound.

I popped 2 beans yesterday. Im on the fence about straight to final pot vs small pot.

If I open that paper towel and both have germed I may just try one in a bubble bucket outdoors, for shits and grins

Your problem will be finishing. Get indicas or maybe some autos.

Not an issue in SO, and the 20gal pot will be about right since you're starting a little later. Any 8 week strain will typically finish around 1st/2nd week of October up here regardless of when you start them.
