seeds Hiperbaric germination.

[Linyera]

I am going to try an germinate old seed and some hard to germinate seeds under pressure.
Any info out there??
Probably about 1 Bar?
Of course nothing coplicated. Linyera style only.

I have never heard about this. Maybe you could drop us some hints? Details, Web links, literature references, etc.? From what I have read in the scientific literature, 3 % KNO3 for 3 days works pretty good. It is called halopriming and it might also have a fertilizing effect. I actually use it for germinating all my pepper seeds.

I have not studied the subject much. Just some memories of explanations years ago about plants grown under pressure that performed way better than the ones at normal pressure.
I like trying stuff. These seeds are 8 years old. I tried but no luck.
I will post more if I have some results.
The equipment used is very hi-tec. I will post some pictures at a later date.

I've never tried it, but I'm intrigued. Looking forward to your results!

I have not heard of it either. Hiperbaric treatment of injured is well known and rejuvinating efects are well studied.
I just think its worth a try.

What gas are you using?

 

[Linyera]

What gas are you using?

Normal air. No added O²or CO². I will first try like this. Under elevated pressure the gases are absorbed easily.
I already have a small plant that germinated and is growing. It is some unknown seed in the grow mix. It came out in less than 48 hours.
Would be good if other growers would try as well.

There really isn't anything complicated in what I am doing. Hi-tech can be done but I am trying a repeatable easy and cheap way just to see.

A good giggle worth!

You've got basil growing there? Fresh basil seed germinates in 2d here.

No, but we have WEEDS! Lots of weeds.
I am going to expand my tests a bit.
