Every bean I've started lately has popped except all 7 ortegas. Not one even cracked. Not sure what's up with that

If you still have them try throwing them in the freezer overnight and put them back out to see if they go
I will do just that! Thanks. I was thinking there would be a trick if they're old or something, hopefully not cooked. I have 3 that I didn't germ yet, is there anything special I can do there? Or just the freeze

You could try cracking them manually but freezing the embryo will do the same thing and is not risking smashing them. Honestly conditions are ideal, simulation of spring thaw by soaking then a frost to get the process jump started. If they can go they will. Ideally sewn at the on the cusp of a new moon, but a full moon will do.

I'll toss them in the freezer tonight, but I actually just emailed AK Bean brains and had him direct me towards the best NL in his master list. He said his NL1 and NL5 were bulletproof so I went ahead and grabbed both. I want my girl to be able to have a solid bean to use as her first try growing the chronic, and Norhtern Lights was her request. I also nabbed his Boel Oaxacan ... using her run as justification to buy more seeds lol Hey my great grandpa was from oaxaca ....

Rough night in the jungle. Dehu was set to 65 and I didn't notice because I taped over the display. Had to toss the whole Berry Bubba because she started to mold. Then I saw that Fungus gnats decided to eat my 2 Blue Steel x Mac seedlings, annnd then I saw some nanners on my Wowzers x Star Stomper. In my emotional state I chopped the wowstar, threw away the BB plant, and adjusted my RH. I always get things going well and then slack somewhere. I'll tighten up this ship. On with the show....

This round of 87LPPBSAD threw up some decent size sour chunks. I did a wet trim, and lopped them into a dry rack with the dehu set proper. I think that the Berry Bubba was just a lil warning for me to tighten up before I fucked up this harvest, which is MUCH larger. I'll take it as a lesson

Wrapping up on my frantic, whole house cleaning, trimming, R/H correcting gauntlet this morning and feeling like I have a handle on things. Gave my seedlings a lil BMC and have my harvest in the spare room stinking up my girls clothes. I looked over and saw our first monarch of the year decided to emerge, so I'll take this time to go enjoy the garden and let the lil homie chill on my hand till it's time to fly~
