Do you have a certain way that you germinate your beans/seeds? What type of soil mix or additives do you provide for your seedlings. Just in general, what is your procedure for beans/seeds, what do you do differently for your flat technique? I'm always interested in doing things a different way. Are you saying that basically, the only thing you do different is plant in a flat? Thanks

dude they might have died but this is what u do if you have any more seeds... germinate the seeds until the shell is barely hanging on to one of the leaves. germinate them in a DAMP paper towel. put the paper towel on a plate. and put the seed under one layer of the paper towel and put a bowl on top and set it in a warm dark place just make sure it doesnt dry out. once they re ready plant them with the leaves out of the dirt that way u know the plants are alive. but dont use your soil mix. i think its too strong use a normal potting mix or if u just insist on it mix something at like an 1/8 of what u already have. plant them in a cup or a small pot first then transplant them into a larger pot with what ever u decide to go with

I bought the soil from a hydroponics shop who make it himself. My friends have used it from seedling too harvest and it's worked fine. Think it may have been what I did. This one I'm germinating it the way you said. That's how I normally do it. This one has a 1/4 inch tap root but leaving another night. Fingers crossed (y)

The flat technique is used by almost all greenhouses. Using a flat filled with good potting soil, kept warm and moist. Letting your plants grow till they have true leaves on them. At this point they become strong and not easily hurt. I have transplanted were I needed to pull the roots apart from others and never had a problem. Hope that clears it up.
