I’ve researched and summarized quick and successful germination methods from Chinese growers, with much higher initial temperature treatment, I have no doubt of its effectiveness.. I will start mine today, and report back.
Bring water to a boil then cool to 130 F, add pepper or egg plant seeds, let it cool to about 104 F, then pour seeds with the water into a coffee container and tighten the lid, to keep temperature steady, for 6-8 hours. Then plant seeds the same way as you experts’ methods stated above. Germination is within 2- 3 days.
Believe it or not, I poured boiling water, without cooling at all, into mung bean seeds, and let it cool naturally to room temperature, and grew great sprouts.
