I just read an article about germination enhancers in case anyone is interested.

1. Vinegar - 1 tsp to 1 cup water. Soak seeds 6-12 hours (but no longer than that) before planting.

2. Hydrogen peroxide 3% - 1 tbsp to 1 gallon of water. Soak overnight then plant.

Was wondering if anyone used one of these methods.

I figured out why my test is different… I called and they said they did a “no soil” test because it was a “potting mix” and primarily organic matter. Which is disappointing because I bought it as “garden soil” from the nursery.

That said, they said to immediately add Aluminum Sulphate to lower the ph. Then to add fertilizer upon planting.

Pretty frustrating but at least I know where I am. Probably not going to invest a lot into plants this year and just see how it performs after the adjustments.

For ref here are the results again.
