Hi all, so I’ve finally got a little grow box and have been “trying” to grow some beans I can’t seem to get past this stage (4th try🙃). I have a couple of questions if someone could help.
Soaked both seeds in a glass of water for about 20hrs one dropped one didn’t. Wet paper toweled them for 24 hours one grew a long tail the one at the back was short. Planted seeds in miracle grow potting mix with a clear solo cup over both on a heat pad the long tail sprouted after 24hrs. The seed just seems to be poking out of the short one so I left the solo cup on it for another 13 hrs and no change in growth.
Is the short tail one at the back a goner?
when I have to water the long tail about how much water should I give it?
Using spring water with a neutral ph and a cfl bulb for light.

Hopefully that’s enough info and not tmi, any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Yer mate that is very dry for seedlings, they like to be a little damp, but not soaking.

The tall one that's already above the ground, that one is fine, just needs watering. Once they are out the ground take the dome off and have a fan blowing at them to help build a strong stem.... not a strong breeze though just a weak fan oscillating.
The one that isn't tall yet, that needs watering and then humidity over the top, she will be big enough to take it off tomorrow it think.

High, are they still alive? Aside from the watering, you may want to dilute the Miracle Grow soil with some peat moss or coco coir. You could get some seed starting mix or make your own next time. That soil is loaded with fertilizer which will burn a seedling to death.
We just smiled n waved sittn there on that sack o seeds
@hart thanks for the tip.
The long tail seed that has sprouted is doing well I think the second set of true leaves are coming in, the short tail one where the seed was sticking up is pretty much the same got a little bigger but no change hasn’t shook its shell. I haven’t watered it in a few days other than misting the dome and the soil doesn’t seem to be drying out at all so she might be a goner. Might not use the miracle grow again. Do you have any tips on a good potting soil to get or if I was to add in the peat moss or coco to MG what would be the ratio of the mix.?
Hi @seed2weed, I'd mix it 50/50. As for a brand name depends on what part of the world you are from, MG has seedling mix, Promix also. Make your own recipe 1/3 peat or coco, 1/3 worm castings, 1/3 perlite or vermiculite. This mix should last you a couple weeks, then transplant into larger pot with the stronger soil.

@seed2weed ya I even keep mine on for a few days after, usually until the leaf forms well and keep the humidity high over 65 for a bit. Seedlings are a bitch sometimes lol but ya that mix Hart suggested would be good, you may be planting them in "too hot" and they don't have a chance lol. Good luck man and welcome to Percy's, ask as many questions as you need, we all started at knowing nothing lol 😉🍪
Do better, feel better.
@colacody thanks, I’m sure I will have more questions as the grow goes on. It’s great to have experienced and friendly growers to bounce questions off.
