Well I lost some seeds now I'am really behind. I started some seeds 3 weeks ago to see if I could, and they had fungus on them. I soaked them in peroxide for 4 hours, filed,and put in pots a few days later nothing. I took a peek and covered in green fungus, threw everthing away cleaned, forget bleach. Started new batch 5-1 and nothing took a peek in soil green fungus, bummer. scrubed everthing again with soap and bleach hope the pop. This is what I lost.

milford, CT,

Jimmy..What are you using for starting mix..it needs to be a sterile media...Seed Starting mix...not potting soil or garden soil. The most likely culprit is the soil not the seeds if all of the seeds got fungus. If it was just one seed I'd say it could be on the seed coat but if you soaked the seed in peroxide there wasn't anything on the seed. P.S. You don't need to soak the seed for 4 hours in peroxide..I'm not sure what everone else suggests but...I only soak them for 5 - 10 minutes. Good Luck..keep trying!! Mark

I used bathroom peroxide not salon type. I started other plants in same mix and there up. The little green house I bought form Lowes the one with heat pad and plastic bottom and clear top. So if one of your seeds has fungus and if it germanaits or not bleach everything be safe:) than sorry like me.
