- number seed packets and test tubes appropriately - 10ml 3% hydrogen peroxide +190ml of distilled water + 1g of sugar - shake for 10 minutes? - seeds soak 24/48 hours in the freeform solution - carefully decanter liquid with partially opened lid - move seeds with sterilised tweezers - place seeds in tissue culture or soaked towels before transplanting to soil if growth isn't great?

The water used for the seeds, simply discard each time or is there a better way of recycling the infused water? Size of tubes used? If you use a pressure cooker to steralise your tubes in the rack do they need to be a particular type?
This is all GREAT information. I especially like that you broke the formula down to Ounces and Tablespoons. I multiplied that by 5 and made a batch that would just about fit in a 48oz glass bottle. Then I use that bottle to pour over the seeds to soak in 4 different jars and store the remainder of the mixture in a cabinet away form ALL light. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO EASY! AND I love that you mentioned it's a good practice for old AND new seeds.
Thank you so much. We try our level best to make tissue culture information easy and accessible for our culturists. Happy that it's working for you all.
I'm gonna try this. I'm having trouble with older baker creek pepper seeds. A few years old and 0% germination.. frustrating because they're not cheap seeds
Great video! In the cannabis industry there are tons of people using carbonated water to germinate old seeds. Have you ever used this method and can you explain how it would help in assisting germination of older seeds??
We haven't tried the method on Cannabis yet. Francisco only works with houseplants, carnivorous plants, and desert plants. But, you can check it by yourself, as the method doesn't require much time and involves only a few ingredients. :)
Great video! I personally use honey instead of sugar. Its harder to work with because of the viscosity and it can be difficult to dissolve but it has trace minerals that refined sugar lacks.
@@PlantCellTechnology So far plants do well with this. My current projects are some rose bush seeds, red osier dogwood seeds and colorado blue spruce seeds. All 3 varieties are old seeds and require scarification and stratification. Im hopeful that using this method with honey will yield good results. As of writing this msg, all three varieties have gotten the full treatment and have been currently sitting in the fridge for about two weeks now. I will say that a lot of seeds have swelled already which is a good indication. In about 2-3 more weeks I expect to see some germination hopefully. I will keep you posted.
Thank you for your expertise on sprouting seeds! Where can I get the test tubes? I have morning glory sprouting. It looks like you lay the sprouted seeds on top of the soil. Do I do this with all , any seed?
Hi Francisco, Hope you and your team are fine? Thanks for sharing. I use this method for orchids seeds. What you do if you get contaminations in your flasks due to seeds sterilization. You sterilize again? Thanks for your reply. Daniel Jheelan
Thanks so much! Resterilization would be good for the plants that were in the same container as those contaminated. But, if they are already contaminated, then its recommended to get rid of them instead of sterilizing.
I have seen and used H2O2 for the scarification of seeds. I have not left them until they germinated. I will have to give that a try. Shave days or weeks off germination would be excellent, especially for peppers in zones with a short season and limited space indoors to start early. I am curious, though, what was in the cups he transferred the sprouted seeds to. Was that just water, or was that also the solution they sprouted in. If it was just water he transferred them to, would the solution harm the sprouted seedlings if they were left in it. In the second video, these questions are still not answered either. Please clarify. Thanks.
Apparently, I did not understand him at some point. I believe he said that as he was removing the seeds from the sprouting solution, he was placing them in tissue culture.
What is the original concentration of H2O2 prior to dilution? I have seen 35% food grade, 6% pharmaceutical grade, and common 3%. For whatever reason, your video doesn't specify (but it's very important to know). Thank you for making this video.
I see you transfer these into tissue culture but we never see you sterilize the seeds or make sure that they are clean before putting them in-vitro. Did you not have any contamination from this?
No, we don't have any contamination. Hydrogen peroxide itself acts as a sterilant, so after sprouting, we directly transfer it to the tissue culture media.
Great Video! I had one question, would this method work for very small seeds? I'm about to sow some old begonia seeds but the seeds are very small. They are about 2-9mm big and I wanted to see if this would work since I have mixed results with germinating in the past
Hi , I’m Jason from Australia I’ve been watching your videos and subscribe to your channel, but I’m still haven’t found anything regarding media and technical for cymbidium orchid green or dry pod plus mericlone with polyploid added colchicine or oryzalin to media . But most of the flask media in Australia that I have seen added charcoal. It would greatly appreciated if there was videos covering these topics, as I’m in learning stage of doing my own flasking with a still air box with basic equipment.
Hi Jason, I use 3% H2O2 for 5mn with dry orchids seeds. Butter to work with green pod as you can yse bleach to sterilize outside and without damaging the seeds. Daniel Jheelan from France
Hello, I want to put it into practice with adenium obesum seeds. After sprouting them in the mixture; 10 ml H2O2 at 3%, 190 ml distilled water and 1g sugar, (tell me if the proportions are correct), I want to transfer them to crop soil once germinated. Can I wipe them directly or do I rinse them first to avoid fungus? I say this because of the sugar residue that may remain attached to the seeds. Thank you so much.
I have 50 year old Marigold seeds that belonged to my Mom. Will this process work for them and if so, do the times and measurements still remain the same for soaking?
What type of gel media, are there any PGRs? I have seen GA3 used to help germination but that was a seed soak, similar to the peroxide, not used during and after germination.
Would this work with dried tangerine seeds? I saved some seeds from my Grandparent's tangerine tree in 2020 at the last funeral. We grew up eating the tangerines straight from their tree. We are starting a homestead in June and I would like to try to plant them.
This has worked with all the seeds we have worked with, so it should work. You can first try it with a couple of seeds to see how it goes and then try it on a larger batch.
Depends on the kind of seeds, delicate medicinal I have found best results with 24 to 48/hrs. The secret sauce is genetics/temperature and timing, don’t let it stay submerged once the reticule emerges, before it pops open is best to remove from solution👍🏻
Hi, great video! I have question about disinfecting the seeds. I use 15min soaking using 10% bleach + soap solution for disinfecting seeds now. (I heard that is the standard method?) I mainly do this because my batch of seeds have high probability of fungi development. Would hydrogen peroxide do both disinfecting seeds and revitalizing them? Or, should I do my normal method of disinfection and hydrogen peroxide treatment later?
So 190 ml equals 6.43 oz, distilled water, correct? Ill be doing some rare seeds, expensive! This was suggested by the grower. 😊thanks for the guidance 😊
We didn't try the method with those seeds as we didn't have any access to them, however, you can give it a try yourself. The method only requires water, hydrogen peroxide, and sugar.
Can you add Gibberellic acid acid to hydrogen peroxide solution and if so how many grams of Gibberellic acidd powder to mix to the hydrogen peroxide solution ?
Depends on what you want to achieve with that. The protocol we shared works great for the germination of seeds. We didn't try adding different hormones or chemicals. But, we'll let you know if we perform any such experiment.
Hi i have soaking the seed the same solution for 48hr already but some seed is pop up the root but some are not , Because some the seed that i have it 10 year old , what do you recommend for the seed that not pop up and been soaking for 48hr ? Do i need to soak it more or put in the paper towel better ? and some of the tube that i have soak the color has change too , Do i need to change a new soak solution ?
Hi, We heard you and forwarded the question to Francisco because only he can answer this better. We will let you know as soon as he responds. Appreciate your patience.
I have well water. If I boil, sterilize, and cool the water would that be sufficient instead of distilled water? My water is very hard with lots of minerals in it. What are your thoughts? Is it bad to spray the seeds as they grow with your solution? I want to grow hydroponically. I know odors can occur. I've seen others use hydrogen peroxide as they grow too. I plan on changing the solution daily.
Boiling the water will not remove the solids. Now, if you are growing plants in hydroponics, the water needs to be treated anyway. Hard water with lots of minerals is usually not desired in hydroponics, as the minerals will unbalance the water and nutrients.
I'm only growing wheat grass. I did boil my water. It's slow going but it's growing. I did soak it with hydrogen peroxide and added sugar like you did. I think at least 70% of the seeds started. I used another formula of 1 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup water with the sugar. I think I soaked them for about 32 hours. I also rinsed them in the sink twice daily with warm water. No mold or nasties showing. No bad smells either.
@@PlantCellTechnology Yes, your ideas and video were very helpful. I'm wondering if I should get some liquid hydroponic plant food. I'd only need a cup or two of water.

In tissue culture, you need to use sterilized distilled water as the tap contains some elements that can disturb the concentration of the elements in the media.
Tap works for me every time. Some people get too excessive like using sterilized tweezers when non-sterilized tweezer will do the exact same thing. These things grow up in dirt. Stop it.
Yeah also check the date seeds from the time of Jesus Christ came to earth that sprouted and now the sell the fruit in israEL. It was thousands of years old and it sprouted!
@@jayfeely7239It doesn't work like that. what you don't realize is that when you make a media with sugar and nutrients it is highly susceptible to mold and bacteria. Imagine fungus in an enclosed space with no competition and literally the perfect environment for it to thrive. If you leave food at room temperature it goes bad within hours and you will see nasty mold within days, it's the same thing. It would kill your plants. Potted plants aren't fed foods directly like TC plants that's the difference.
Don’t take my word for it but read it was 2/3 start 1/3 hydrogen peroxide. What I did I just used water and sprinkled a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide into paper towel for a tiny little boost.
You say 1 part peroxide to 19 parts water, but in your older video you said 1 part peroxide to 9 parts water. ua-cam.com/video/42p8kM9XZG4/v-deo.htmlsi=jwvwamx8asvUhHYf&t=26 9 vs 19 is a very large discrepancy.

You say 1 part peroxide to 19 parts water, but in your older video you said 1 part peroxide to 9 parts water. ua-cam.com/video/42p8kM9XZG4/v-deo.htmlsi=jwvwamx8asvUhHYf&t=26 9 vs 19 is a very large discrepancy.
