Black tea soak - HOW

[Wi-sunflower]

I know this has been posted plenty of times, but search here sucks. "tea" is too short, "black" is too common and " soak" brought up too much irrelevant stuff.

I have some OLD hot pepper seeds I want to try to revive by soaking in black tea. As I've never don't this before, how do I do it ?? Strong or weak tea ??

Try putting "black tea" in quotes when doing the search.

I've tried this with 2nd brewing camomile tea and with earl grey. Both work.

Steep in 2nd brewing for 24hrs, then plant. I used a warm tea when I soaked my seeds.

It is called Byron's tea soak if you Google it. I can't search here using my phone and I'm outside.

I would just use some MG to soak them, but it's because I have it on hand, too.

I use chamomile tea for older seeds - 24 hours in lukewarm tea. I buy the tea at a pharmacy, loose one, not those little bags. Costs only a little bit more, but - for me - works better than the prepared bags.

Hi WS,

A great little hack for searching Tomatoville is to put your search into google with the word tomatoville. Works every time

Well, that's a great piece of advice. Google is a searching fool.
