Using slightly acidic Kangen water with a pH around 6.0 for seed soaking is an effective technique to promote faster and healthier germination. Here’s why and how it works:

​

Why Use pH 6.0 Water?

Seeds naturally have a protective outer coat that can sometimes delay or hinder the sprouting process. Soaking seeds in slightly acidic water helps to soften this outer layer, making it easier for the emerging root and shoot to break through. The pH 6.0 level is close to the ideal natural pH for many seeds, creating a gentle environment that encourages biological activity without stressing the seed.

​

Benefits:

​

• Faster Germination: Softening the seed coat accelerates water absorption, jump-starting the seed’s metabolism and sprouting process.

• Improved Uniformity: Seeds soaked in pH 6.0 water tend to germinate more evenly, resulting in uniform seedling growth.

• Reduced Risk of Disease: Slightly acidic water can help inhibit certain pathogens on the seed surface, reducing early-stage seedling diseases.

• Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: This pH level can help activate enzymes within the seed, supporting better nutrient mobilisation during germination

 

How to Use:

​

1. Prepare Kangen water at pH 6.0 using your ionizer machine or source.

2. Place seeds in a clean container and cover them with the pH 6.0 water.

3. Soak for 6 to 12 hours, depending on the seed type. Larger, harder seeds may require longer soaking.

4. After soaking, drain the water and plant the seeds in your growing medium.

 

Tips:

​

• Always check seed-specific soaking times, as over-soaking can cause seed rot.

• Use fresh pH 6.0 water for each soaking session to maintain optimal conditions.

• Combine soaking with proper temperature and light conditions for best results.

Using slightly acidic Kangen water for seed germination is a natural, chemical-free method to give your seedlings a strong start and set the stage for vigorous plant growth.
