Won't worry about this for awhile since I have the cherry tomatoes starting in it right now, but if I only wanted to plant half a seed kit in this (let's say 3 pods of green beans instead of all 6), would that work out?

And would I then just use one nutrient packet/tablet at a time instead of two?

Or would that be a waste of time since it would decrease the harvest?

Welcome to the forum!

I grew the green bean kit and they're heavy feeders.  Two tablets at a time sounds like a lot but you'd likely need to use more than one tablet every two weeks.

In terms of harvests, most of my beans came from the plants that were quickest to sprout and took all of the light.  The slower ones were overshadowed and did not produce as many.

I think it would work out, but if I were to grow them again I would still plant one in each pod.

How are the cherry tomatoes doing?

Now that they have had time to grow, the tomatoes are off to a great start from the look of it. Probably going to be close to time for their first pruning soon.

The green beans.... oh how they make me mad. One week after planting, one is so tall that I'm going to have to raise the lights to keep it out of them... all the rest are just starting to sprout. Two are out from under their bio-domes while the other three look like they have a 60/40 chance of becoming compost.
