I noticed some weird white "fuzz" growing on a few of my seeds the other day and decided to try an experiment. I typically let my seeds sit in the peroxide for a while before I sow them, especially if they're coming out of a dried pod.
I lost a bunch of tomato seeds last year to rot or fungus (whatever it is) in the peat pellets and knew where the fuzz was headed, which I consider a dangerous enemy to my supers. This is the first year I'm using them for peppers and took no chances. About two days ago I tried putting a few drops of peroxide on the top of the pellet of the affected seeds and now the fuzz is cleared away and some of the seeds are doing very well. I figured this was worth mentioning here because I saw a few posts about people losing seeds to the pellets...maybe it will help.
I don't know if anyone else has had any luck with this but it seemed to work
