I'm now just a little concerned with the lack of progress the glucose solution beans have made, no plant has ever done as poorly as this in my care! After holding out as long as i could, hoping for change i have now decided that no germination period could be as long as this in 'favourable' conditions. With no signs of life, my beans have now had an autopsy, not to see cause of death in this case, but to see if there were any signs of life before death. The outer shell of my beans are quite brown and shrivelled now, and the inside revealed itself to be soft and creamy - not shrivelled at all. It is evident now that moisture has reached the inside, yet something was obviously inhibiting the beans growth. Water and glucose should have been an ideal solution for beans, yet i really can't see how it had no effect on my beans. I'm off to do some more research...
