    I been getting the hydrogen peroxide/water 5 minute soak tip popping up on my youtube to help with germination of pepper seeds. Has anyone done this or does it help and work ?

    I've never tried that but this year my pepper seeds popped up very well by using a heat mat underneath. I never used one before and always had difficulty getting pepper seeds to germinate. I didn soak them before planting them either. I believe they need the bottom heat more than, say, tomatoes do and the warm soil is the trick.
