Soldiers all in line: my Crystal Experience

I saw somewhere in this site, someone who’s tap rooted seeds took somewhere of 14 days to sprout, so, you can wait a little more @Laurap

Did you bury her too far ! ? Just about 1/4 to 1/2 inch is recommand :wink:

Everyone was buried a half inch & topped with coir. The three others sprouted about 2-3 days apart. I’m gonna wait the two weeks, just want that please, please be a sprout every morning to pay off. Lol

Checked in with girls. Sadly still no 4th. I did pull back the coir on top and the pod seems to have split down middle. Do y’all think she fell all the way down & if so what should I do? @Niala, @bob31

Checked again still no 4, however I’m not gonna worry about it. I’ll keep on misting her & keep under dome few more days but I’ve got three beautiful girls to be concerned with.
Not much has changed with them. As they popped three days apart, I’ve got a stair step going on. First one has two full sets with third forming. Two has two sets but second set just forming and three has one full set.

Today, oct first still no #4. Decided to put last bean in H20 today. I’m leaving #4 in pod & continue to mist. Can’t hurt. Plan on leaving #4 in pod at least till 5 has popped. If she hasn’t popped by then we’ll have a funeral for her :anguished:

Already found that every grow is different. The first two look great with a leaf span of about two inches. #3 is a dwarf, her first set is maybe a qtr inch span. She looks healthy otherwise but OMG she’s tiny! #4 has yet to show, I’ve got few hopes for her, so #5 was dropped into h20 couple days ago & put into pod & dome to replace #4. I’m gonna let #4 stay just to see if… Hubby thinks that because I haven’t seen anyone grow this strain the beans were old, I haven’t a clue. If #4 doesn’t pop I’ll contact admin .

I saw a plant in a contest on another site that was grown from a 25 year old seed! :drooling_face: I don’t know for sure but don’t think age of the seed is the problem. Some just don’t pop, from what I’ve read and experienced. I soaked 10 on my 1st batch (bag seeds) and 2 sprouted… one either hermied or was a male. The lone survivor gave us 80 dried grams :sunglasses::green_heart::cloud_with_lightning_and_rain:

I guess this grows gonna age me about 50 yrs. Still waiting…Where are you #4 & #5? #1 & #2 are looking very good. Theyre short bushy so far with #1 having four full sets of leaves starting the 5th . #2 right behind with three sets & my mini me has two. Minis quite cute, shes progressing with two tiny sets . But honestly have little to no hope for #4, shes been in pod over two weeks. Hoping #5 comes out soon so she can at least compete with mini me. Tonight ill send pics with hopefully #5 showing up.:herb:

After the girls got up & had some h20 theyre looking happier. Happy to say #5 is up but alas no #4. So when they wake guess well pull #4 out and dig her out of pod. I really thought she’d break thru as never had one not from ilgm.
Upside ive got two big girls & im already in love with mini me as shes a tiny mite! After h20 & #5.
