Germination tests

The plants that we have got to sprout so far don't seem to be in great condition. A little thin.

- I've also noticed that within the same varieties the ones that get the most sun are looking a bit better.
- in addition I feel we may have overwatered some.

So am Going to run a couple experiments.

1. Am going to put the unsprouted pots under a lamp that should at least provide more heat
2. I'll start trying some bottom watering with a control group.




UPDATE: We were without water for over a week so this test kind of got a little ignored.  However things have grown fairly well.  The light definitely makes a difference and in fact it seems that perhaps we were over watering them.  We ditched the soybeans.
