Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read all the reviews. Did the research. Watched YouTube Tutorial. And here is what worked best for me. Germination within 4 days. Green seedlings within 2 weeks. 1) You get way more than 50 seeds per packet. I bought two packets and have been able to experiment with multiple germination methods. 2) Dropping them into seedling mix and keeping them moist and at 85F is very very slow. After 3 weeks, I had two solid sprouts (out of 24) and and everything else died. 3) Doing paper towel in plastic baggie and keeping at 85F also is fairly slow, but because you can inspect the seed easier you can at least see the progress. Had only 2 sprouts again out of 24. 3) THIS IS WHAT WORKED BEST AND FASTEST. A) Mix a 1/4 tsp of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with 8oz of water and soak for 10-15min. Then rinse multiple times. (This kills mold and jump starts germination) B) Remove the Seed Hull. The actual ovum will look sperm like. (See pictures). This doesn't increase germination, but it does allow you to inspect the seed to see if it's even worth planting. If you do the water tests, you can only do it without the hull. Otherwise they will all float. It also allows you to see the changes faster. C) Combine Liquid Kelp, Vitamin B1, and water according to manufactures directions and soak the ovum for 24 hours. Kelp has gibberellins which are plant growth hormones and signal seeds to sprout. D) Carefully take the ovum out with tweezers. Don't rinse seeds. Place on a paper towel. Spritz with the same Kelp, B1 and water solution till wet. Fold paper towel and place into small seed tray with humidity dome (see pictures). E) I keep the house at 72F and I kept the seeds at the same temperature. Check every day and spritz with Kelp, B1 and water once a day. Two days later the first seed started to sprout. Four days later 6 of 12 seeds have sprouted. Using the Kelp solution will work also at higher Temp but keeping the seeds at 72F was much more successful than 85F. F) Once the seed has a decent size root sprout, move the seed into a starter tray with seedling mix and humidity dome and continue as normal. G) Both leaf and root will form from the bottom (round) part of the ovum, which is why laying them down is better than dropping them in a hole. (See picture) H) 17 of 24 Green Seedlings with leaves germinated and are growing quickly still at 72F.
