Starting old pelleted seeds
I posted a while back about a friend having a can of old seeds given to him. He tried to grow a few plants and couldn't get them to germinate so I took some to try to get them going. After reading about it here I started them today hoping to get some going using a few different methods.
I read that coated seeds don't last as long due to the coating not allowing oxygen to get to the seed so I soaked them to remove the coating and cleaned them before the various soaking methods I'm using. How long should I let them soak? I've got 5 different methods going and they're on a seed starting mat. 1, Hydrogen Peroxide(H202), water and a little Miracle Grow(MG) 2, H202 and water 3, MG and water 4, Calcium Nitrate, H202 and water 5, Calcium Nitrate, H202, MG and water |
