My germination method.
3 parts water
1 part hydrogen peroxide
Soak seed for 8 to 12 hours. Hydrogen peroxide softens the shell and allows more 02 to the seed, you should have a small taproot appear.
Plant directly into premoistened medium TAPROOT UP about 1/2 inch. Seedling should sprout with 2 days. Once seedling sprouts, mist the inside of a clear cup and cover seedling. Ypu dont need to water the soil, just keep misting your cup. Seedlings get their water from the air, not the ground.
