Grow Tip - Soaking Seeds in Hydrogen Peroxide

Soaking your seeds in a hydrogen peroxide solution before planting can help increase germination rates and reduce the risk of pathogens. Just be careful not to make your solution too strong, or it can actually prevent your seeds from germinating entirely.

I soak until the tap roots grow 3/4”.
It’s better than using the paper towel method, as many paper products go through a bleaching process that if it
Doesn’t kill the seed, it will slow germination.

Love that. Quick and to the point. Gotta just metricise the quantities.

Would this be good for sunflower microgreen seeds to prevent mold?

depends on the seed, eastern Gama grass for one requires high H2O2

Hi thanks for your info.

I just bought 50% hydrogen peroxide.
Please advice the ratio to water for seed soaking purpose.

How much do I need to dilute when it is 12 percent?

Where would I purchase the 35% hydrogen peroxide at ? TY, , , ,

Table spoons and cups can be of different sizes.

Your killing off the microbes on the seed

This is unnecessarily convoluted. You are using 3 different units of volume, at least one of which isn't standardized.

Units given: tablespoons, fluid ounces, and cups. How about milliliters?
