- number seed packets and test tubes appropriately - 10ml 3% hydrogen peroxide +190ml of distilled water + 1g of sugar - shake for 10 minutes? - seeds soak 24/48 hours in the freeform solution - carefully decanter liquid with partially opened lid - move seeds with sterilised tweezers - place seeds in tissue culture or soaked towels before transplanting to soil if growth isn't great? Questions, the test tube lids are air tight and the only oxygen is from the hydrogen peroxide? The water used for the seeds, simply discard each time or is there a better way of recycling the infused water? Size of tubes used? If you use a pressure cooker to steralise your tubes in the rack do they need to be a particular type?

@boblossie3192 11 месяцев назад

This is all GREAT information. I especially like that you broke the formula down to Ounces and Tablespoons. I multiplied that by 5 and made a batch that would just about fit in a 48oz glass bottle. Then I use that bottle to pour over the seeds to soak in 4 different jars and store the remainder of the mixture in a cabinet away form ALL light. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO EASY! AND I love that you mentioned it's a good practice for old AND new seeds.

@VeggieBeard 6 месяцев назад

I have seen and used H2O2 for the scarification of seeds. I have not left them until they germinated. I will have to give that a try. Shave days or weeks off germination would be excellent, especially for peppers in zones with a short season and limited space indoors to start early. I am curious, though, what was in the cups he transferred the sprouted seeds to. Was that just water, or was that also the solution they sprouted in. If it was just water he transferred them to, would the solution harm the sprouted seedlings if they were left in it. In the second video, these questions are still not answered either. Please clarify. Thanks.

@VeggieBeard 6 месяцев назад

Apparently, I did not understand him at some point. I believe he said that as he was removing the seeds from the sprouting solution, he was placing them in tissue culture.

@xaviercruz4763 Год назад

If tap or bottle water is used i also saw results in that the seeds sprout after a day or two days

@PlantCellTechnology Год назад

In tissue culture, you need to use sterilized distilled water as the tap contains some elements that can disturb the concentration of the elements in the media.

@jayfeely7239 Год назад

Tap works for me every time. Some people get too excessive like using sterilized tweezers when non-sterilized tweezer will do the exact same thing. These things grow up in dirt. Stop it.

@1130MarsV Год назад

@@jayfeely7239It doesn't work like that. what you don't realize is that when you make a media with sugar and nutrients it is highly susceptible to mold and bacteria. Imagine fungus in an enclosed space with no competition and literally the perfect environment for it to thrive. If you leave food at room temperature it goes bad within hours and you will see nasty mold within days, it's the same thing. It would kill your plants.

I plan on changing the solution daily.

@PlantCellTechnology 5 месяцев назад

Boiling the water will not remove the solids. Now, if you are growing plants in hydroponics, the water needs to be treated anyway. Hard water with lots of minerals is usually not desired in hydroponics, as the minerals will unbalance the water and nutrients.

I'm only growing wheat grass. I did boil my water. It's slow going but it's growing. I did soak it with hydrogen peroxide and added sugar like you did. I think at least 70% of the seeds started. I used another formula of 1 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup water with the sugar. I think I soaked them for about 32 hours. I also rinsed them in the sink twice daily with warm water.
