Externet Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Greetings. Soil, warmth and water usually does trigger to sprout. What if instead of water, some fluid nutrient 'tea' is used, for the event of the soil being less than ideal ? Read about using corn starch 'tea' but seems to be more oriented to suspend the seeds than supplying nutrients. Do you know of what has been tried ? Any guess on preparing such 'tea' ? Will not be cocacola, or orange juice, or milk, or vinegar, right ? Besides; if such has a radicle promoter added, better ¿?

If the soil is poor I should think a solution providing missing important elements might be appropriate. Fertilisers normally focus on N, P and K, in various ratios. There are commercial liquid fertilisers available. Anything that alters the pH is very risky, which rules out most of the things you have listed. Bear in mind plants make their own carbohydrate by photosynthesis, so it’s pointless adding starch or sugars to the soil. Edited May 2 by exchemist
