Once, I had some seeds I thought didn't germ (temp related as it was early march) and I threw them fuckers out, with most landing just under my back deck.
My local ground is mostly clay.
Imagine my surprise 8 days later when I find 6 seedlings with varying degrees of stretch all trying to start their first leaves. 4 had aphid damage on the cotyledons and developing leaves with ~3.5 inches of stretch, 1 was a perfectly fine midget, and 1 had damped off after 5" of stretch.
I dunked in hot water then transplanted the 5 into (ripped) cubes, burying most of the stretched stems. All seedlings were 1-2" tall in the cubes.
Then I literally BIT off the lower half of the damped-off seedling, clonex-ed it, put it in a cube, and watched it grow. It took 1 extra week to fully root the cube and was 2 leaf sets behind the others.
They ended up stolen at 5-6" though. I had left em in the starter cups though because I ran out of soil, and some were already throwing out pollen sacs (which I had ripped off xD) when they were taken.
Moral is-
They are survivors.
If you have no more seeds and you NEED these plants to live, the peroxide solution is the safest bet. But you could try to clone the bitch.
If you can start over though, you should.
