Chilli Seed Presoak Liquid
Chillihead’s Chilli Seed Presoak Liquid. Pre-soaking your seeds is a game changer. It is how we germinate our seeds every year with best results. It will help increase success rates with hard/tricky to germinate seeds and it dramatically speeds up germination time as well as help improve seedling vigor and vitality.
Conventional germination methods take on average 14+ days. With tricky germinators, this can take up to a month. The longer your seeds remain in the medium un-germinated, the higher the risk of seeds rotting in the medium. Speed of germination is key to successful germination.
This solution may look very plain and simple from the outside, but is in actual fact quite technical. The Chillihead Pre-Soaking solution incorporates various successful priming techniques (hydro priming, halo priming (osmo priming), nutrient priming etc) in this one simple solution. No fussing with mixing various components to make up a pre-soak. It is all ready to go.
This Pre-soak is designed to cleanse the seed coat from some of the pathogens that may reside on the outer seed coat. This is the first most important step in preventing seeds rotting while germinating.
The Chillihead Pre-soak also aids the removal of oils on the outer seed coat, allowing the imbibition (up-take of water) process to kick in faster. In conjunction with this, the pre-soak provides essential nutrients during this process to help kick start the germination process. These nutrients further aid the development of stronger as well as more robust seedlings. This solution provides a lot more than your more conventional pre-soaking solutions.
Our pre-soak liquid is specially formulated to:
• Remove oils from the seed coat - allowing the seed coat to more readily absorb water (imbibition).
• Soften the seed coat - speeding up germination.
• Special ingredients will help to kill any possible pathogens on the seed coat - helping to reduce possible seed rot and transmission of bacteria from seed to plant.
• Provide essential key nutrients to expedite germination.
• Improve oxygenation at germination level.
Seeds are soaked in this pre-soak liquid for up to 24 hours at 28-320C. You should use a Heating Pad to do this. (Read Directions on the bottle for how to's).
Once soaked, seeds can be planted normally for germination. Given the correct germination conditions, you will notice faster and better germination rates as well as stronger, more vigorous seed growth.
