SOAK…3 Beans each. # 1. Orange dose # 2 x God’s Gift / Colorado CleMetine #1
3 Beanss each # 2 2016 MIX ( ? ). MYSTERY. Beans
12-23 All Beanss in group #1 sprouted in my shot glass. The Beans were floating with roots formed.
The Beans in group 2 did not root or sink to bottom of glass. I rinsed all Beans and planted.
Planted in small plastic k-cup with foam collar and some growing medium. I used a small plastic …rectangular base filled with distilled water, covered with a clear plastic roof to retain the moisture.
12 -24. Waiting for sprouts to appear.
12-25 Today I observed the sprouts in group #1 were just breaking out about a quarter of an inch.
Group # 2 still waiting. I added starter juice to the reservoir.
I have taken pics with iPhone. Not sure how to upload the pics. Will post when I figure out how …to up load the iPhone pics.

How to upload from your phone… using screen shots from my iPhone:
Open response to the forum topic and hit the “upload icon” circled in red below:
This will take you to a screen to select photos or album to pull from…
select and hit add like shown below, my giant red check mark is distracting…
Select the photos you want, hit add, and then wait for the photos to upload!
Even if it says “uploading 100%” it is not done yet. Wait for it to clear as shown below:
I hope this haphazard tutorial has helped!
Stay hazed

I just took them out of the K cUPS and the h2o and placed them on a cement shelf
close to a heating duct in the basement for a little more warmth. ( should help them grow a little faster).
My growing area is a 4 x 8 foot section of the basement with a cement floor, two metal air ducts at the top and a brick wall for the back side. I have not decided what to do for the shroud. I was thinking of building a structure out of pink insulation sheets which I have in my shed
Tomorrow I plan to go to HD or Menards and get the pearlite and the lava rock for the potting material. Also I have to pick up plant food?
Suggestions? ( HELP )
THIS IS F U N
b at peace. & stay healthy.

If you have chance post a grow room design if you havent sure you’ll get solid input as you go.
Looking forward 2it
I posted a pic of the space. No formal room per se. The space is 4 x7 x 8.
The top has two furnace ducts made of steel,the back is brick wall , floor is cement.
I was thinking of building a structure from pink insulating sheets for the side and front walls or just hanging plastic sheeting . I also have the metal posts from an old gazebo
that I could frame up some walls.

From experience put down 2x4s over concrete or raise.
The concrete floors will stunt growth in colder temps.
If the furnace pipes are seperate use a small fan to bring In fresh air another to vent. Seal the room run co2.
Looks like a good start for a flower room.
Then the rest of the basement to veg
