Peroxide works by breaking down into water and free oxygen.
This oxygen will aggressively oxidize anything it contacts.
This is very hard on organic material, microbial matter.
The shell protects the seed for a time while the peroxide degenerates.
I suspect that O2 levels would be elevated while the seed starts to soak in water (a good thing), but the free oxygen is very short lived so will not be sucked into the seed where it would hurt the embryo.
It's like giving the seed a good microbial wash so any microbes on the surface are killed prior to fresh seed tissue being exposed.
This is the cartoon that runs in my head when I think of hydrogen peroxide.

If the seeds I have are 3-4 years older, I soak them in a glass of water for about 12 hours then plant them tip down in soil.

"Fresh" or new seeds are usually so vigorous they sprout in less than 48 hours if directly planted in moist soil. I don't bother with humidity domes or anything like that, just keep the soil warm (~80-86 F).

Hehe thanks cman! Yeah they've never been watered. I have peed on them a few times tho. Not sure i can let these flower out. Fishermen are cruising by constantly, and these are about to be 7 ft tall. I think I'll take clones and run them inside, just to make f2's so I can spread the hearty mofos everywhere. Johnny Ganjaseed style. Thanks for your interest buddy, been looking for a reason to share these.

Hi Farmers ! I would like to know how everyone likes to pop there seeds... I usually scruff up with a fingernail file ...soak in bottled water..as soon as sprout shows ...into a paper towel ..sometimes in a baggie in dark cabinet or on something warm ...cable box ..top of coffee pot.. etc... recently have had problems with trying to pop older seeds... even tried hydrogen peroxide... I have lately been making my own seeds and have noticed they need to sit close to a month to have successful popping.. So please all experts chime in with your secrets !!! Much Appreciate... M

Soak seeds in cup of tap water for 24 to 48 hrs or untill they sink, once they do u may put in your growing media , hope this helps

That's a good idea, keep a male and female bonsai style. Just enough to make some beans.

Unless its a recessive Korean trait this shit is gonna flower super fast. 50 ish days I'd guess. Hah it'd still be a photo finish up here. But it's more than enough time to mature seeds for the next faster gen.
