I need help germinating beans

It's just a mid range seed raising & cutting mix from my local hardware store, it has no perlite in it, does perlite help with drainage or just with air circulation

It's good to have some perlite in your soil...most come with it already added...so yes, I would recommend adding some in the future

Yea as soon as i logged on and seen ur post first thing that jumped into my head before I even got reading HE'S NOT GOT ANY DRAINAGE(holes in the cup) but obviously as I progressed through ur thread it became imminent that u have.U HAVE GOT TO LET THAT GIRL BREATH MAN'no more water till as quoted soil is dry at top moist a couple of inches down now b a good boy Prince and do as instructed then maybay she will decide to reward u with a little growth spurt( 9mm pointing at your temple please sir STEP AWAY FROM THE WATER)!!!!!!

When I transfer over to bigger pots I will add some perlite to my soil

Yes I total concure some perlite aids the drainage.

I'v used Clonex gel in the past.
& have had the same success with cheap Powder
from hardware store.

I now use an Aero cloner & plain Tap water , due to ease & lazyness

I use water with a very small amount of liquid seaweed in it...and patience...lol

I have awesome success with the powder but I'm thinking about trying the gel as it's a smaller container and it's resealable and will make less mess

I will eventually make a bubble cloner when I get the spare $$$ and time

The soil still seems pretty moist to me it's staying wet for ages but hey atleast she is growing the whole thing still isn't an inch tall

Slightly...

10 days old seems to be going crazy slow to me

We live in hope......

It must be these bloody winter temperatures making everything go glacier
