Germinating Seeds

Germinate them between 2 wet paper towles in a plate with another plate over it as a cover so moisture dissent escape.

Wait 24 hours and plant the beans that grew taproots.

Is it too late to do that with my current seeds? What are the chances they are ruined?

Probably too late. A week in wet soil may have caused them to rot.

Next time place a propagation (heating pad) under it and set it for 75 to 80 deg, keep them moist don't drown them. If your dome sits on a tray, put some perlite in the tray, add some h20 enough to keep the perlite moist. Some seeds take as much as 10 to 12 days, at least in my case.

Don't use a heating pad unless its fking freezing in your house.

Plant the Seed POINTY PART UP in soil rooter cubes, 1/4th an inch or less.. does not need to be deep at all and I never cover my seeds with dirt, I can always see my seed from lookin in the hole.

Pointy Part up, flat part in the soil.. make sure its moist and it should pop within 1-3days. The Taproot will come from the Top of the seed and make a complete flip towards the soil thus making the seed part flip over and be right side up.

So I guess it has only been 4-5 days, but I think they were too moist? Should I do anything to attempt to save them or just wait it out?

Maybe I should dig one up to see?

dig em up...see if they popped and rotted or never popped...sometimes the shoot is buried and dying under neath trying to get to the surface...next time just soak em in water for 18 hours then put in the paper towels and 2 plates...no heating pad unless it is below 55 in the house.

give it a few more days,take the dome off so the soil can dry some
