Hello ICmag!
Fat Marty has been working hard on several projects. Several of us have been running Fat Purple the last several months. Now we are starting the Fat Stomper - 13.
Thank You Fat Marty!
Fat Stomper - 13. This is from Fat Marty:
As for the test beans - this one should be on a par with Fat Purple.
The same Purple Marty male was used for the Fat Stomper-13.
The Female used is Hazemans Grape-13 Mother.
So the purple phenol is in play again.
Just a heads up - soak the beans overnight before doing the paper towel sprout, etc.
I don't really store seeds proper here as I don't have a fridge in my locked area.
I ended up picking off 'helmets' stuck to cotyledons on the ones I just started last week.
Could be the large size of these beans requires a bit more moisture to get it together during sprouting.
My thinking is if you plant them regular in soilless and let them germ natural they will shed helmet natural.
But most don't want to go that route; so the overnight soak should do the trick imo.
