I'm going to opt for one of those 12 pack seed starter greenhouse kits (36mm pellets). Is this size of pellet sufficient to get the job done?
And further, I'm going to use the scarification method on these seeds before I put them into the water, what is the optimal grit of sandpaper to use to do this?
Altogether, this is what I intend to do: scarify the seeds, soak in a cup of water for 18 - 24 hours (ZERO filtered water), moisten the pellets with the ZERO water, transfer the seeds into them and allow them to germinate under the medical heating pad in the dome on low setting. Is this enough? Or is there anything additional I need to do?
I could employ hydrogen peroxide and carbonated water in this process as well, but perhaps it's overkill?
These seeds are... stubborn. So I'm uncertain. My prior two attempts to sprout seeds went off without a hitch, I just soaked in water overnight and transferred to soil, put the growlight over top on a low setting and they sprouted in two days.
