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.

[@rosalinerabago6389]

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.

[@goodcitizen4587]

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.

[@chuggermagic]

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).

[@marriev494]

Can it be done with any seeds? Thank you for your information.

[@edinahorvath1191]

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!

There are a few things lost in translation... but this video is great!

[@techtrek31]

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!

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

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.

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.

[@UPLINKUSA]

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. 🌶

[@masteraus66]

I've got some late seeds coming still and this is a must. Thank you so much!!

[@whoiscathy]

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.

[@abragy12]

Great job!. I really love it. I'll try this.

[@ControllerPassAway]

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.

[@rwally3able]

Thankyou!!!!!!!!

[@Mach1Mike407]

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 :)

[@Mach1Mike407]

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 !
