Germination Solution.
Germination Solution.
I have just had 4 types of musa seeds arrive and they came with some saltpeter powder. My question is has anyone one here used this solution to aid germination.
Re: Germination Solution.
I hadn't actually heard it used, so I googled it! Its apparently used to help soften the hard seed coating. I just normally soak for longer hard seeds, so it will be very interesting to hear your results

Re: Germination Solution.
Well Dave the solution can be used to make the fuse to ignite the gunpowder.

Hi flounder i will let you know how things go when we use it. Last time we used the soaking method and had just over 10% germination rate.
