And, i used a microwaved spray bottle of water to wet them. I started off misting them, but just ended up soaking them, they ate the water up nicely. I think it took about 2 hours to get them to "juicy".
Here we have the 5.99 cracked ice, i decided to use this set in the end for my oasis. Note - i used 1/2 a tablespoon of beads in each case. they all ended up puffing up to about 20x the original size.
i started out with a sauce cup... but that was dumb, it outgrew the cup within 20 mins.
Here they are.. side bu side, about 10 mins into thw whole thing... about 2-3 times their original size.
a little further in....
approaching 40 mins... note, they are only about 5-6 times the original size.. but you will see that they RAMP UP considerably in 16 minutes.
1.5 hours in.... fully sized... they didnt grow any further in the next hour....
