Planted one Purple Dove Bush Bean pod using a seed from Victory Seeds. The seed was originally germinated in perlite, so I had to cut a sponge in half to try and get all of the roots back in. It was originally started on Nov 13 and took three days to germinate. The leaves are a bit droopy because the perlite started to dry out. Added 8ml of nutes.  |

you find so many unusual and different seeds to try out. Where do you get your ideas and inspiration, Error?

Most of it is just from browsing through (online) seed catalogues and picking things that look interesting or have a name that grabs my attention. I have a folder in my bookmarks with over a hundred different seeds/plants that I want to buy and try at some point  I do give some preference to cultivars where there only seems to be one seller - that way, hopefully, I can grow it and have extra seeds to give out - keeping that cultivar alive in case the company shuts down. |

Might restart this one if it doesn't recover from transplant shock.  |

The roots underneath seem to be healthy and new leaves are coming in on the top.
Added 1ml of CALiMAGic and 8ml of AG nutes.

I'm still not too happy with this one.  For comparison, I have the exact same variety, started at the same time as this one (and in the same container!), but it is doing much better in a Kratky setup. I don't think it liked being transplanted into the sponge - I might try doing something different next time I move a seedling into an AeroGarden.  |

This is starting to recover - there are two in this photo, the one on the left is the one in my Bounty, and the one on the right is the Kratky one in a bottle.  |

I cut off the top tendrils today - apparently some bush beans do send out one tendril, but it doesn't really do anything. At best it might produce one extra bean on the end of the tendril, but generally the energy the plant puts into it is not worth it.

The tendrils came back, I chopped them off a second time.  |

I removed a couple lower leaves that were starting to droop, and added 6ml of nutes.

Added 8ml of nutes and moved the Kratky plant on the right to my grow tent. It got to the point where I had to refill the bottle daily, so I took it out of the bottle (losing most of the roots) and placed it in a larger, half-gallon container.

Added 6ml of nutes. The Kratky plant did not survive the transplant...

I am not very impressed with this. Some of the pods are starting to turn black (which is a sign that they are finished / dried out), but if there are any beans in them, then they must be tiny.   |

Might they be turning black before purple like some peppers do?
