Has anyone use hydrogen peroxide to germinate their seeds I was told if you use one cup of distilled water with one cap full of hydrogen peroxide it would help it Germinate better has anyone tried this and what was your results?
 
I'm new myself, but from everything I've read the H2O2 does nothing to help germinate technically. The H2O2 is used to basically sanitize the shell of the seed and the water that you're soaking it in to prevent possible infection of the developing tissue from an outside contaminant. There are MANY threads on germinating in water with H2O2 added.
 
Popper H2O2, as in real high concentration stuff you get from a hydro store, is actually quite dangerous. The stuff you get at the pharmacy is highly diluted and still can cause permanent scaring to open wounds.

Don't over think this too much. Lightly moisten some peat plugs in pH'd water, place it under some hood in a warmish area and relax.
