I am pretty sure there are already threads related to this, but I can't find them! I recently germinated some older (got them 6-7 years ago) seeds in soilless mix and got horrible results. I usually get good results this way, like 90% plus. I remember something about soaking in water (for 24 hours?) or hydrogen peroxide (how much water to how much peroxide?), scuffing (how exactly do you scuff something so small?).... are there other remedies as well? I will not use the paper towel method, I tried it a couple times and never worked. For me, directly into soiless mix into a plug tray has always worked well. thanks
