Just tried this on seeds I've had trouble germinating and I have at least 40% germination on a variety of seeds in 2 days. Thank you!

[franzitaduz]

I have a few difficult seeds. Will try. Thank you for such a detailed and logical flow with demonstrations.

[martinjakob]

I will start my peppers seeds soon with paper towel method. Since I have some bit difficult ones, I looked for ways to speed thing up and thought about soak them in 3% H2O2 for about 12h...but now I will directly moisten the towel with aprox 0.3%. Thank you

When you transfer the seeds to the germination cup do you drain the water and put only the seeds in or the water as well or just a little water and do you have any air holes or just close the cup.
Thank you for the video. I am trying some 13 year old seeds that I have had no luck with traditional ways.2008 oregon cup winner medicine woman and Mendocino purp. Hopefully i can get them going again!

Hallo
A question
You mentioned : about 2 days soaking
Does that mean exactly 2days or longer
I want to use it for cactus seeds
Thanks in advance

[adammckenzie]

This is extremely awesome... I can use some assistance here, as I am having poor germination with some Camelina seeds... In fact, one project failed already, and this video just pumps new life going forward. Ques: can I drenched my growing medium in plants trays...say 128 cells instead of the seeds, trying to plant one acre, and I'm sure u can appreciate doing it as in the vid, it can get quite labourious...can you advise...thanks a mill.

[anthonyemmm]

Great explanation, thank you. I’ll will try this method today.

I want to do this method I just did a HP seed germination with 1 tablespoon of HP with 8 Oz water and 1/3teaspoon of sugar then planted in soil this is 6th da and only 1 is coming up planted 6.
I also just took 6 seeds an planted them in soil and the petri dish method which was basically just a wet paper towel in a container.
Natural has 2 already up and petri has3 up and 2 more trying.
These are tomatoe seeds I had high hopes for the HP.
I see your HP method is different where you throw them into tissue culture medium where do I get that from and do I need a sterile box?

[Jecht]

Nice video, only thing I was left wondering is how much water/peroxide solution was added to the seeds at the start. Just enough to be moist or like a drop?

[fahler]

Ok, pardon me if I miss any data in this video, can I ask you how long does the seeds take in H2O2 solution in sterilize step?

[steeeebs]

That's awesome. I've never heard of this method

[Bluntedco.]

you think 1oz peroxide to 2 oz distilled water is not enough water? i noticed most people use that ratio. what is better with 1oz to 9 oz water ratio?

[andrewtanjk]

Hi do you place your seeds in the tube that has h202 in a shaded area or close to a window with some light ? Tks

[ShubhamKumar-fhhd]

What concentration of hydrogen peroxide to use? How much dilution should be made?

[mollyquade]

Thank you! Very interesting and informative.

[mengshilim]

Should you transplant when there is roots only or do you wait until there is some leave in the tube?

[arnefickert]

Hello is this h202 stabilized?

Thanks

[eaglehigh-he]

My seeds were in water earlier for 24 hours, then in paper towel for a few days, they did not germinate. This time I left them in the water with H2O2 added for a longer period and still did not crack after 3 days. What is wrong? What more can I do?

[karmasbal]

Can I use this on Lavender seeds? Last summer, all my lavender seeds did not germinate but all my other seeds germinated within 1- 2 weeks.

[pauloantunes]

Very interesting!
What book about TC do you recommend?
