Hi all,

I'm trying to germinate 4 ea of red, yellow & orange Rocoto seeds.  Have a nice root on 2 yellow, 2 red & 1 orange so far.  No sprouts yet, but here is a scan of typical 2 day old root:   <A HREF="http://www.fototime.com/2ACBB5BF6E28F2E/orig.jpg">root</A>  

Just noticed a dark fungus on the 2 remaining seeds in the yellow starter pouch.  Not sure if it is damp-off or what.  Was hard to get a clear (looking) scan due to fuzzy nature of the fungus, but here is my attempt: <A HREF="http://www.fototime.com/2CDE36F85E721C5/orig.jpg">damp-off?</A>  

Wasn't sure what strength to use, but made a 1 to 15 mixture of 3% hydrogen peroxide and soaked the seeds & paper towel that they are on for germinating.  Should I have used a stronger mix?  Any other suggestions?  I *think* you can spray almost full strength 3% peroxide on seedlings, but am not sure about seeds that haven't sprouted.
