I add about 1/2 tsp of peroxide to the water it’s supposed to help soften the hulls and add oxygen

I was turned on to using peroxide a couple years ago and I jumped in with both feet I buy it by the case :sweat_smile: I literally spray the entire inside of my tents with it numerous times during and in-between grows plants and all. I don’t measure it but I use about 3-4 tsp in a quart size spray bottle except when cleaning between grows I use straight peroxide. You can see the plants like it the morning after spraying them

You could always throw them in a wet paper towel , ziplock &dark place… They will pop almost literally like next day. I had that problem when before when tryin other methods. But always ran to that paper towel method lol

I normally do the paper towel method and i did this time aswell but i dont use the ziplock bag

Try a cap full of peroxide in a shot glass topped with ro water. That’s about 1 third peroxide and then water. Let it set in that for a while then switch to regular ro water. Heating pads or heat mats help a ton of getting seeds. I use a heating pad set on high for the first 2 hrs then I leave it on medium from there on out til I see tails. If I use the heating pad it happens fairly quick usually within 2 days I have half inch tails. No heat and it’s 4 5 days or longer. I always do the peroxide water soak then strait to napping on a plate then that plate gets set on the heat pad to get the heat. If the plate feels warm to u don’t worry all will be fine. First time I thought I was gonna cook it but they seem to be happier to pop when there is heat with it lol. Also if they don’t get a tail u might try using a pair of pliers and give the seed the smallest squeeze til u hear the little crack sound if u hear the crack drop it back in the water. Sometimes the shell will be super hard and water is not able to penetrate it unless u crack it open to allow water in to expand the sprout.

Yah ive done that and i have them in a dark warm spot im hoping they pop i dont have a heat mat I’ve got them in my tent its 28 degrees Celcius

U have led lights set the plate ontop of one of the light heat sinks and it will get the heat from the light. Use the top of the refrigerator as it usually has a nice hot spot uptop in one of the corners all the time. Just cover the top of the plate with syran wrap or plastic but leave a gap where air can get to the seeds so they don’t get smothered and drowned

I just put the seeds on to a paper towel and plate and i put it on my light hopefully they pop

Can u look at the seed and see does it look like it is split at all for water to enter inside. A crack along the seam or by the dip in the seed. If not take 1 seed and pliers and put it in pliers where the seam is flat to one side of pliers and give a super super light squeeze to hear oe see the shell split some. Don’t over squeeze and squash the seed but try one that way and see if it helps any. Might be real hard shell and not seeping thru the shell skin

Sandpaper helps too to rub on sandpaper some to thin it

I will wait and see how this goes then i will try the other way

I appreciate your help and i hope one of these tricks work
