My advice: Talk to you plants...and on a daily basis too...Good Luck !
Gonna Try a Grow.
- Thread starter dirtymane
- Start date
Any pros watching please chime something in. I checked for germ this morning......
NOTHING! So i dropped each bean in a cup of water. They all sank immediately. Took em back out and put em back in the PT. Put them back in the zip bag.
covered it with another plate.
Then put them back on top of the satelitte receiver and covered them with a towel. 
This is really stressing me. I sprouted a few bagseeds for practice before the high dollar beans and had no trouble. eeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It looks good. How long have the seeds went so far? I try not to get my paper towels real wet, i have in the past and there were no problems so, its not that big of factor but possibly harmful if excessive. And yes i can take up to 7 days to sprout seeds. Usually 36 to 72 hours for strong seeds. After 5 days start freaking out. 
jk
everything looks great
Ill keep checking in.

Yeah growing is a slow hobby. I use the wet paper towel and plate method myself.
When the tap root is atleast longer than a 1/8 of an inch...I use a toothpick to make a small hole in my dirt...
very carefully place the seed taproot down into the hole...and cover it up so a tiny little fraction of the top of the seed is visible.
high success rate.

Gratz. You shouldn't have to green house them to long, unless you have temp issues. Seeds are looking great. gl with the sprouts.
Great day! SW1 came out the dirt, shes got her helmet on.
SW2 on her way out as well!
SW3 still in the dirt. She was the last one to germ and the root wasnt as big when i put her in the dirt so got my fingers crossed. When should i take the plastic wrap off the top of them?

Now. I never even use plastic wrap for seeds at any point. Clones? Yeah they need a greenhouse...but not seeds.

Yep yep. That sounds about right. I will veg mine for 3 weeks then switch to 12/12, total time 12-14 weeks. You'll end up learning a ton of stuff your first grow. It only gets more addicting
