Danke /j man— going to try that out on some lettuce and basil seeds I harvested from the garden already. Only about half of my planted seeds seem to germinate so maybe this soaking method will improve the odds.

Almost forgot, I also use about 2oz of molasses per gallon of water, and include that.

My actual recipe (more or less) is 2 oz liquid seaweed, 1 oz liquid fish, 2 oz molasses per gallon of water.

That's the same mix I use to spray for foliar feed and put in the drip trays for bottom feeding seedlings.

Good luck. My basil self-seeds here, so I rarely have to worry about starting seeds, it's just back every year.
