Well, I tried spouting for the first time, but I think I messed up. I am using a wide mouth mason jar with the three colored lids. Well, Sunday I soaked them over night, but forgot to put them in a dark place. They sit on my kitchen counter. They get light during the day, but not direct sunlight. A few nights I forgot to rinse. Right now there are some green/white spouts. Then a lot of them did not expand. So, do I continue and it will take longer or give it up and try again? I am at a lost.
