I did several experiments. The cold & hot circle does not matter. It’s the cut helps the germination. I got better germination without cold & hot circle
I tried this hot/cold treatment on some okra seeds from 2014 that hadn't germinated in the last 2 years, despite soaking overnight. I did not make the cut. I just did the dunking. I used bowls of water that were 110°F and 40°F. Of the 18 seeds I treated, 15 sprouted, with the first roots visible at 11 hours. I'm now going to try it on some gourd seeds. Thank you for the idea.
I’m glad that you shared your video. Yes, you are right about the 2 different temperatures during the 24 hour periods. The hot to cold and doing the process frequently is what I call a contraction. When I had a surgery on my stomach I remembered my doctor telling me to do the hot cold pack on the stitches to help the inner cuts heal faster. So your method is doing the same thing. Some gardeners and farmers don’t believe of planting under the first full moon. I’ve don’t that method when an elderly farmer advices me to that. So, I planted out on the field already prepared for planting in the evening when the first full moon appeared. This is true because if my experience. The full moon did sprout the seeds in 2 days and not only that the cucumbers were so prolific that I had to pick cumbers everyday and it was a truck load everyday. But, most of all that your advice of sprouting the pepper seeds the way you did, I do believe and will even do what you just instructed. Thank you so very much.
I tried this method and mine did not germinate even after 5 days. I have moved the container to outside in the sun where it is currently 75 F; I will update in few days if it does something.
Awesome Video ! I had always wondered about rapid cycling the day - night cycle... But never imagined that you could pull it off by simply dipping the seed in hot water then cold 5 times in a row... that is totally amazing.
This is interesting, nice work :) As an experiment, I've just lined a plastic takeaway container with cotton pads moistened with warm water, Cut the pointy end off 12 sunflower seeds, popped cotton pads over the top, sprayed with warm water, put on the lid and popped the container on a heat mat. Fascinating if they germinate even after 24 hours. Thanks for the great video 👍👍👍👍
I'm back! I planted pepper seeds this way 7 hours ago and 2 have already sprouted! This is insane! . I can't believe this is possible it usually takes a week or more.
I always wondered why they wait such long. 'Communication' is everyfhing! 😅 Seems to be the right way to express the terms (in Form of water, heat, light, soil, and nutrients). So now i buy some Peppers and Paprika for the good amount of vitamins.😊 The hoter, more intense variations seems to be not such healthy. 'Too hot' can melt the oven. Anyway,... Now i'll check some of ur other content. Looks like u have good old, new and 'new outdigged' ideas
I did it yesterday. They sprouted today. I’ll use this method for bitter melon and long squash seeds which are very difficult to be germinated. Hopefully it works. Thank you so much. 👍❤️
It work! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Yesterday, i saw your video and I made a try. Guess with what...With a 30 years old pepper seeds. My friend send them to me , to try to wake them . A had them about 3 months now in the fridge.And I made your advice. I made this yesterday about 4pm. .in the oven . And about 8 pm. I went to bed. Actually my daughter switched of the oven, because I didn't tell her not to do it. Today, at 3.30 am when I wake up and took the seeds to see the result. O my god, one of the 5 seeds was sprouting about 3 mm. Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 30 years old pepper seeds sprouts for 10 hours! Unbelievable!!! 😍😍😍
BLESSINGS FROM DALLAS TEXAS USA 🇺🇸. GREAT INFORMATION YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE PLANTED SEEDS IN THE GROWN TO NO AVAIL. TOMORROW I WILL BUY A RED, YELLOW AND GREEN PEPPER.. I AM SO EXCITED...IT'S 8:48 PM...THE STORES ARE ABOUT TO CLOSE TO MY ANGST I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW. BLESSINGS TO ALL MANKIND
Just to let you know, red, green and yellow peppers are just the same pepper at different stages of maturity. It won't effect what variety you get unless you buy different varieties. And unfortunately you will be better off with seeds from a seed manufacturer. That way you know the seed will be viable and of a certain variety (store bought may be cross bred, meaning seed won't be true to phenotype).
Snipping off the node where the seed germinates makes sense. I will definitely try this and compare to the ones I already planted. Also, thank you for changing the voice on the video. It's so much easier to listen to! 😅
It's great I do this with squash type of seeds, sand paper sandwich, and gentle rub works great with smaller seeds. It's called scarification, I believe. Thank you for the video!
This method works, before internet even exist my grandfather in Malacca showed me this method but without the cold-hot dipping and just sow after cutting. He germinates ghost pepper in 3 days the cotyledons will appear. I recently also used it on seeds I bought from Etsy that the seller told me need 2weeks to 1month to germinate. I germinated habanero and primotali in 3-5 days.
I only just learned about this method and could not believe how well it worked! I've anxiously waited ~7-14 days for my seeds to sprout for so many years. The tip you are trimming off is called the "Radicle." For me, I did not need to do any of the hot / cold dunking. Just trim the radicle as he shows, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and then leave in a warm place. The hot / cold dunking might have some benefits for marginal seeds but for me it has not been necessary. Regardless, thank you for this video!
Me too I have been doing my pepper and lots of other seeds such as lupins like this for many years I learned it from a Chilean mapuche chief who visited my home many many years ago .I use Chinese food containers and kitchen towel warm water and a sunny window sill. It never fails brocolli and mustard greens take about 5 or 6 hours .
@@felicitywoodruffe4087 Thank you for sharing. Have you tried this with tomatoes? I'd like to give it a try but my stash of heirloom seeds is very precious...
thank you my friend, pepper seed has always been a hassle for many gardeners, specially for short season regions like I am living.. This is really a very help full video. Thank, thank you.🤩🤩🥰
Fascinating! Would this work with tomato seeds? We had a cold snap recently and I've had trouble getting my seeds to germinate using a Ziploc bag and paper towels in the window.
Wow.. I've been using the refrigerator 3 days, soak in warm black tea 30 minutes trick and they germinate in 8 days but this is amazing. I will use this technique my next germination of pepper seeds. Thank you!
@ktreznin5538 Last year, I referred to them as pepper trees. This year, it was a long 8 days, but the plants are doing good with the agrothrive fruit and flowering fertilizer. The roots are very strong.
Can confirm that the hot/cold cycles weren't even necessary. I got mass germination in 7 hours (!!) on both paprika and tomato seeds, including very old (8-9 yo tomato and 12 yo paprika) seed. It would be interesting to test this on rocoto seeds. They're worse than superhots -- notoriously hard to germinate. This time I only tried C. annuum since all my superhots are already up (I wish I had known about this before... next year I'll do all superhots like this!), and of course the tomatoes which I'm way too late with, so here's my chance to catch up with myself for this season! Update: I didn't do the hot/cold water thing because it makes no sense to me. In just a few seconds, you don't get "expansion" or "contraction" or anything, tells the engineer in me. For any such to occur, the seed, or at least the seed coat temperature would actually have to change. Meaning, you need to dip it long enough for an actual temperature change, at least in the seed coat, to take place. 5 seconds just won't cut it. You know also when you blanch vegetables for freezing. You quickly partially "cook" them and then you transfer them immediately to ice water. But it really must be ice water and a rather large volume of it, and even then it takes several minutes of soaking to actually stop the cooking process. Not seconds. Nevetherless, just doing the mechanical scarification was enough, and thank you for that. I used to scarify larger seeds but it never occurred to me to try it on chili/toms.
Sorprendente! Muy ingenioso el método. Algo similar se hace con semillas de limón, manzana, mandarina, que es quitarles totalmente la cobertura exterior, aunque ésta solo lo hace parcialmente y seguramente le permite ingresar más rápido el agua y expulsar la raíz. Gracias por difundirlo
It WORKS for me. I cut the tip off the bell pepper seed and dip it in hydrogen peroxide 1% for 2 hours. Then I covered it with a kitchen towel soaked with hydrogen peroxide and kept it in a dark place. The next day I could see the roots forming. My other seeds in the soil for 3 weeks showed no sprouting.
I have just planted more poke bean seeds. Half have been "snipped" meaning that I carefully cut a tiny end off. In fact a tiny part of the outer skin came off like egg shell. The other half I planted like normal. Not cut. I'll keep you posted 🙂
I just take a plastic ziploc bag and put a wet paper towel in it then lay seeds on top. Lay on warm area( top of refrig) and get the same results in the same amount of time. Been doing this for years
I cannot believe it, but this ACTUALLY works! I tried on 5 pepper seeds that I've had a really hard time germinating 3 are visibly sprouting after 18 hours.
Here is my guess why this works: When you nip-the-tip, you put a hole in the skin of the seed. When you you put the seed in hot water, the seed softens and the space inside expands, pulling in a wee bit of water through the hole. When you dip it in cold water, the space inside contracts - and pushes the water back out. When you put it back in the hot water, it expands and pulls water back in. Doing this 5 times is like squeezing a turkey baster bulb. What you are ultimately doing is getting water to the part of the seed that requires moisture in order to germinate. Folks that have NOT done the Hot/Cold bit but still had success is because simple capillary action will eventually pull water through the little hole. Both methods are going to be faster than keeping the seed moist for days and weeks and waiting for sufficient moisture to wick through the skin to start the germination. Thats my un-informed and untested guess anyway :)
So tried it yesterday. In about 12 hours I had 3-4 of 15 seeds start to germinate - tiny little white root is starting to come out of the seed pod. in 24 hours I was up to 9 of 15. These are seeds I pulled from an old dried up cayenne pepper that the guy at the hydro store tossed to me. NO IDEA how old they are. Honestly, pretty amazed !
This method works well for germinating old seeds. If the seeds are fresh, you can simply soak them in water for 5 hours before sowing and they will sprout on the 7th day after sowing.
@@amazinggardenYesterday, I was about to throw my various seed germinating trials away and found that the seeds I had never even soaked and just put in normal tap water on a paper towel in a bowl under cling wrap had sprouted to my surprise. I tried Jalapeño, Habenero and normal red peppers. Someone gave me something he labeled Peppadews, but I can't seem to get them to sprout but I am now a bit more positive and will try your method and also just normal tap water. Our tap waterin our city is pretty good. It comes running off the mountain in my area and tastes good.
Hello, in the case of seeds from RED APPLE PAPPERS Capsicum family, can this method also be used? Taking into account that these seeds are very different I even find it difficult to find their little nose...Please share your experience that shows.Thank you
Very nice I am from Afghanistan I saw this video it was great but The pepper I have they have generated but they didn't grow any more, what should we do for growing them and of course my paper's seeds are from ijy karapeta family ,thanks.
Im from India, where the min. temperature is 26°C and max is around 38°C. What would be your suggestion? Will the same cold and hot dunk help for this part of the world?
I did several experiments. The cold & hot circle does not matter. It’s the cut helps the germination. I got better germination without cold & hot circle

Temp shock tend to get things growing at exactly the same time.. not nececerilly quicker.. but more in sync.

Some say just the scarification is needed. Not the temp changes. Just snip, store in folded wet paper towel in baggie overnight in a dark, warm place.

Didn't work for me. Been 2 nights already and they still haven't sprouted. How hot/cold was your water?

There are a few things lost in translation... but this video is great!
I have poor results sprouting pepper seeds so I will definitely try this thank you
The main thing is not to water such seeds too much after planting them in a container. They are fragile and can die in very wet soil.
Pepper seeds need warmth to germinate. Some people use heat mats under pots. 75 to 90 degrees.
I will definitely try the method shown in this video. 🌶
It's great I do this with squash type of seeds, sand paper sandwich, and gentle rub works great with smaller seeds. It's called scarification, I believe. Thank you for the video!

this definetly works I did this with 4 different types of peppers in one day they were all ready to plant.Thanks again
What is the temperature of your hot and cold water?
Well, I tried it twice with 3 different kinds of peppers, and it's been days with no success 😢
Can this be done with all seeds?
I will try it. All the pre-soaking in chamomile tea never worked for me nor soaking in garlic, honey and aloe infused solutions either.
For seeds to germinate quickly they need to be soaked in solutions that quickly soften the seed coat.
