In order to decide what kind of seed to use in the experiment, I did a pre-study with corn, bean, and pea seeds, soaking ten of each in the liquids that would be used in the actual study.
Bean seeds responded with the greatest amount of variation, so I used them for my experiment.
I soaked three sets of 10 bean seeds in separate cups containing the following: distilled water, hydrogen peroxide, malt, humic acid/water, potassium nitrate/water, and fish emulsion/water. I kept the seeds damp with the solution.
The seeds were in between coffee filters to keep them moist.
I recorded the germination results over a four-day period.
