Hi Bill,
Very interesting information. I have a can of Ether under my fumehood
at work that I haven't touched in many years.
I my experience from fridge germination in paper towels, the brown
inhibitor releases itself slowly over a period of several months. I'd
be very curious to see if the germination inhibitor is more soluable in
Ether. Wouldn't it be great to see it release over a period of several
hours ? As we all know, water is the mildest and lest toxic of the
solvents, I can only assume that Ether might be a bit faster but this is
just speculation without really knowing what I'm talking about.
I'll try it and hope I don't destroy my seeds, I'll report back in a few
months.
Chris
