USEFUL TIPS FOR SEED PREPARATION:
1. Disinfection:
To destroy pathogens (bacterial, fungal, viral) on seeds and protect seedlings from soil infections, soak seeds for 15-20 minutes in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate (1 g per half glass of water) before sprouting. Then rinse thoroughly in clean water. Seeds may acquire a brown tint — this is normal.
2. Bubbling (Sparging) for slow-germinating seeds:
An effective method to accelerate the germination of celery, pepper, and eggplant. It involves treating seeds in water saturated with oxygen.
How to do it at home:
Pour water into a jar (2/3 full) and lower an aquarium compressor air stone to the bottom. Turn on the compressor. Pour in the seeds (there should be 4 times less seed mass than water).
The seeds must be constantly in motion with air bubbles.
Duration of bubbling (until sprouting starts):
* Celery — up to 7 days;
* Pepper — 3 days;
* Eggplant — 2 days.
