Could someone describe the microwave method? how long? what power setting? Submerged in water? Dry?


I found some store bought dried chiles (3 varieties) packed away from a move six years ago. I de-seed them for cooking so I have a lot of seed to play with. One variety sprouted easily but two others, although showing signs of development, never sprouted before mold got them after six weeks.

I'm going to try various chemical/nutrient baths as well.

Also... is there any type of household fungicide that I could use to prevent mold. I'll be germinating on paper towels.

Thanks
