How about the source from a smoke detector? I think it is Americanium(if
that is a real element). It works by ionizing the air in a small chamber.
Or ask an X-ray lab if you can leave a pack of seeds near their machine for
a few weeks. There is quite likely some kind of small nuclear reactor at
one of the big universities near you. Any solvent is a mutagenic, but at
levels high enough to produce more than a 1 in a 100000 chance of getting a
mutation would most likely just kill all the seeds. I would use caffiene
pills instead of coffee and I would make it 50 -100 times stronger than
coffee.
