It's an old-school trick to help stubborn, old, or poorly stored seeds to germinate (by allowing more oxygen into the seed). It's also used to prevent damping off (which is one of the main reasons seedlings die). I use it 100% of the time for all seeds, and I too have 100% success rate since I started doing it. A capful of 3% peroxide into 20 ounces of distilled water (PHed if needed). Then do the paper towel method, and this treated water is the only thing that touches those seeds/seedlings until they go into their much larger veg pots (unless they need a mild fert and I add peroxide to that too). I had a serious issue with damping off, and it never happens now.

Long term use of peroxide can harm soil microbes, so don't use throughout the plant's entire life.

Good tip much appreciated

Rarely do I see things on these forums that makes sense cause there is a lot of shitty growers giving out shitty advice but this really is a helpful tip.even old dogs learn new tricks.sometimes I get seeds that crack but don't sprout and I know it's shitty bacteria.i even talked about it in one of my videos but the peroxide is a good idea.i think h202 would do the same.now the oxygen part not sure about but I can see everything else for sure

Yeah, you are essentially correct. I should've said "by possibly allowing more oxygen into the seed." It's one of those things that is scientifically proven to work (improving seed germination and survival rate), but as far as I know, no one is positive as to why. The oxygen theory is just one of the more popular ideas. It also could just weaken the seed husk, etc.

(Hydrogen) peroxide and H2O2 are the same thing, just FYI

Do you guys/gals know if we will ever see sky pilot or stardawg bx ever again?

Really excited to try out some of GU's work. Always enjoyed his reports on TSD. I'm looking at copper chem, and I'd like a purple stardawg. Which out of purple outlaw, badlands, n jelly pie, do you think would give me the best chance at some purple yum?

I haven't grown it but @naiveCon says purple Badlands kicks ass.
Do yourself a favor and get some copper chem though! As far as I'm concerned it IS the chem grail.

Nope. They're the same thing. Google "chemical composition of hydrogen peroxide" :mrgreen:

H202 is like 17 percent compared to the crap from cvs thata 3 percent.Not sure if I would want to dump.a bottle in a res but I would use it to sterilize seed water.im sure that 97 percent of other stuff in the cvs bottle might not be what I would want in a rez.

And for fuk all sakes who the fuck even uses peroxide any way if you know how to tune a res and keep it cold.this whole thing came up over adding a couple drops to a seed bowl.
I could give a dragon dumps less about h202 or fukin peroxide.that shit has no place in my buckets but I liked the idea of sprouting with it.
This tripping with rocks dude like one of them playground kids trying to be cool.you don't post no pics ever and you still growing in happy frog chump.fuck you and your purple leds and white widow lol.my most fucked up plants will run circles around your best.asshole

I don't think sky pilot will make a return since he lost the mother, alien star dawg. Which was a personal selection from a pack he grew out. Not sure if he gave it out or not to be able to get it back. It was amazing so I would think if he had access to her, he would have got it back by now.

I found a really nice ghost town leaning pheno in star dawg bx1 that I gave to Gu~. Last I heard he's going to make bx2's with it.

Purple Badlands gets my vote as it is one of the best stains I've ever grown or smoked. I got 6 females out if a pack with 4 being absolute keepers. I'm going to try to win some cups next year with it.

The reason is because h202 in purer forms becomes highly unstable.

I was referring to the bottle I get from my local shop.i know that h202 is hydrogen peroxide buy I do not know if that brand I got is the same or what percentage it was.thats what i.meant when I said it wasn't the same as a brown bottle of peroxide from walmart that you use in your bathroom.dude didn't have to be a dick.fuck that clown.

My understanding is that sprouting of beans with hydrogen peroxide helps prevent any pathogens from damaging the sprout. I personally use the store available 3% strength, and only a few drops for the solo cup full of water I soak beans in. I'm about to drop some Gunslinger with this process, here's to hoping for 100%. Cheers!
