So new sprouts are in the tent. As of yet its looking like the other 4 won't sprout. Overall about a 50% germ rate from this seed Co. Of that 50% germ rate we have a 25% defect rate.
Can't wait for the new beans to come.
So here's the ladies.

So I'm wondering if I should do the Uncle Ben's topping method on the bigger one? I've got exactly 4 weeks until I have to flip, so I'm thinking of tying it down a week or two before that rather than topping. I'll likely let the sprouts go as they are.
Here's a closeup of the bigger plant.

At the 5th node (growing) if the first leaves count? Only thing about UC's topping is cutting to the 2nd node. Would put the plant back about a month and it wouldn't be much more developed than it is now
Only reason for this is apartment inspection Oct 26. Labelled as 56 days flower. So I want to give ample time. An extra week or two flowering and about a week for drying. Tear down and restart with the new beans.
Other than that, I ended up pinching the stunted sprout's growth off Sunday afternoon. I figured instead of killing it I should have some fun
. So far it looks like the part I pinched off is healing and not promoting anything else. I'll probably keep it alive as long as I can after this.
Oh and the new beans are on the way! I ordered a 12 pack of Jordan of the Islands' Burmese, and a pack of NorthernBerry and Sweet C99 (Sweet Skunk x Cindy 99) from Peak Seeds. I'll germ those just before my inspection and get things rolling.
Thanks guys!
