Re: activated charcoal in seed germination?
I read an article a few weeks ago that in musa-seeds, a natural percentage of the seeds are un-viable because they lack one or more structures. Especially seed from unripe fruit or fruit ripened in less than ideal conditions are not likely to germinate easily.They say the behavior of musa seeds is still not completely understood. Many factors influence the quality of a given seed-batch.
Growing from seed has been one of the more interesting parts of this hobby for me. It allways feels great when you manage to sprout a tough species.
I have also tried the smoke-disks, and can't say it's my holy grail. Healthy seed still seem to germinate well with fluctuating temps.
