at night you remove the water, and store said water somewhere. you let the lentils again somewhere without light, so they can be born

you keep the lentils humid by pouring their water on them from time to time, then removing said water and back to wherever you put them in the dark etc etc. repeat for some days

this is apparently the optimal point of growth. but yesterday i wasnt avaliable for doing this so i left them an extra day

my babies. they are so cute

and then you kill them with a blender

the end

blablabla "the liquid is rooting hormone, auxines specifically" blablabla "the solid rests can be used to compost/worms stuff" blablabla. i did a genocide. my poor babies.

it has been hard not to create an emotional link with them
