I was watching a youtube video and the guy on the video said to soak pepper seeds in a 50/50 hydrogen peroxide water mix for five minutes. Has any one done this ? I have grown plenty of varieties of peppers from seed with good success. Was wondering if this really helps.
I've never tried it as I've never had a problem germinating pepper seeds. I don't know that the 50/50 hydrogen peroxide water is worth trying or not. Personally I wouldn't bother.
Hydrogen peroxide will add oxygen so it makes sense. I add 5 drops of oxygenated water to a litre of water and germinate my seeds in a folded up kitchen cloth between 2 plates. I place this on top of the fridge (24 deg Celsius)
@Odif Thanks for the tip. I've never thought about, tried or used Hydrogen Peroxide for seeds but like your idea.
H2O2 is about disinfection and sterility. There are other methods that may work better if you suffer from fungi unique to your area or in your (actually on) seed stream.
