Soaking seeds in a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution, a technique rooted in real plant biology and documented agricultural science, dramatically accelerates germination by softening the seed coat, eliminating surface pathogens, and mimicking the natural enzymatic processes triggered by rainfall, cutting germination time from weeks to as little as twenty four hours.
