I definitely get them into some rock wool as soon as I see those tap roots peeking. :thumbsup: I learned first hand what happens if you leave them too long. They get all fuzzy and start smelling of fish. *shudders* So far, all I've gotten from these is cracked shells.

It's possible they have too much light or are too cool, but the spot I put them in is the same as every other time I've popped beans and I've never waited more than 72 hours. Still, for all I know Early Queen is very sensitive when germing. I've just moved them to a darker spot and set them on my external modem to use it as a sourse of heat. It should warm them gently as it's only barely warm to the touch itself.

I'll check back after a couple days if they don't respond to see if anyone has any other advice.

Thanks so far, guys.
Tommygirl Reviewed by Tommygirl on . How Long Is Too Long? What is the absolute longest you should wait for beans to sprout before you know for sure they're dead and just not going to? I've been waiting since Thursday and this is now Wednesday, obviously. Some of them have cracked, but there's nothing coming out and others haven't even cracked yet. The beans in question are Early Queen, from Mr. Nice, btw. Also, I started them sprouting the same day I got them, so if there's an age issuse it isn't on my end. My germination method is in a Rating: 5
