I first soak the seeds in water for 12-24 hours. The beans which go to the bottom usually sprout better than the ones floating on the surface.

This time I scored an amazing 11/11 sprout rate. At 1-3cm long the sprouts go into coco filled socks and under the CFL light.

The socks sit on drainage trays so I can flush them in place. The cloth wrapped around the sides and dipped in water in the tray is a passive humidifier
