The watery beans are still growing. The roots are approximately 2 inches long and the stems are around one inch long with green leaves starting to clearly form. However, all is not plain sailing on these plain watery seas as the roots are beginning to turn brown. I have been unable to find any sources to tell me if the roots change colour as they grow and I have no previous experience with growing broad bean seeds on cotton wool. I am concerned that the roots are being exposed to too much light and that they have nothing to cling on (root) to. I'm guessing that only time will tell. My beans may have been the first to grow, but they may also be the first to burn themselves out.
I will paste some pictures on as soon as I can get my camera to work again.
