H2O2 ?  Heavy water like used in nuclear bombs?  (I don't know how to raise

the 2's on this computer and in this new program.  Or do you just mean to wash

them with a lot of H20   just plain water?  I don't think we can get heavy

water and I sure don't know how to make it.

I tried to sprout the striped sunflower seeds. No go. I bought them (little 99

cent package).(did not say roasted or toasted or salted or anything), so I

thought, " let's see if they sprout " .

They did not!!!

Don't get it.

You have to remember that they probably are not organic and you have no idea

where they came from or who handled them.

sort this out. When you put these seeds to soak, rinse really, really well. Then

put about a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in the soak water. Eight to ten

hours later, give them another thorough rinse and then spread on your growing

medium.

Drug store hydrogen peroxide is ok to use, because you will rinse it off and not

eat it.
