Method 1: Make seeds germinate quickly without using drugs
Steps people should prepare to make seeds germinate quickly without using drugs:
Step 1: First, soak the seeds in clean water for 2 hours. It is important to soak the seeds in room temperature water. If you are soaking in warm water, the water temperature should be maintained at 45 - 50 degrees Celsius and should be soaked for 10 minutes, then switch to soaking in regular water for 2 hours.
Step 2: Prepare a clean plastic box with a lid, it can be a tissue box, a fruit box or other types of containers, then take some paper towels, absorb water and put it inside the box. Spread about 1 to 2 layers of paper thinly.
Step 3: Spread the soaked seeds on that layer of wet towel, use another layer of wet paper towel to cover the seeds.
Step 4: Cover the box to ensure humidity is maintained inside the box
Step 5: During the day, place the seed container in a place with light, but avoid direct sunlight. At night, leave the seed container under an electric light.
Method 2: Use stimulants to make seeds germinate quickly
Mix the stimulant with clean water in the appropriate ratio, then use that water to soak the seeds. Follow the next steps similar to how to germinate seeds without using drugs.
People can find and buy these germination stimulants at reputable pesticide stores. One thing to note is that when using medicine, you must use it correctly and in the right dosage. If you soak too little or too much medicine, the seeds will not germinate.
Method 3: Use biological tablets to make seeds germinate quickly
Currently, growing seeds in biological pellets is an effective and popular method. The main ingredients of these tablets are coconut peat and high quality microbial fertilizers mixed in reasonable proportions.
Germinating in these pellets will ensure sufficient nutrients are provided to the seedlings in the early stages, while also ensuring a higher germination rate than germination directly in the soil. In addition, another advantage of using biological tablets is that they are environmentally friendly.
Steps when using biological tablets:
Step 1: Soak the tablets in cold water until the tablets expand 4 - 5 times their original size, usually 3 - 5 minutes.
Step 2: Open a small part of the wrapper on the top of the tablet, put the seeds inside. Water enough every day to hydrate the seeds.
Step 3: When the seeds germinate and are about 4 - 5cm tall, people plant them in the ground. The film covering around the tablets has the effect of retaining nutrients to nourish the roots and decomposes automatically after a period of planting in the ground, so people do not need to tear off the film immediately.

III. Note:
- Some small seeds do not need to be soaked, such as lettuce, cauliflower, jute, amaranth, bok choy, mustard greens, etc.
- Some seeds such as tomatoes, eggplants, eggplants, and Malabar Malabar spinach still do not sprout after the standard soaking time, so people can still sow them normally.
- You should not let the seed sprouts grow too long before planting, otherwise the plants will grow weak.
- Seed soaking time that is too short or too long will affect seed germination.
- Do not water too little or too much, it also affects the germination of seeds.
- Sowing seeds too shallow or too deep will cause the seeds to lack enough water and moisture, and the seeds will not grow.
