How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds

How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds

There are three main conditions required to ‘awaken’ the seed:
darkness, moisture, and warmth.
The method outlined below is one of the easiest and most popular ways to germinate cannabis seeds.
It also requires the fewest materials.
But beware! The germination method below is best used for older seeds,
unverified seeds, or seeds that may be partially dried out.
If you were able to purchase new, fresh seeds,
then you can plant your seeds directly into your growing medium.

If that applies to you, skip to the next section.

What You’ll Need

unbleached (i.e. brown, chlorine-free) paper towels or other unbleached napkin or tissue paper
clean water
a thermometer

Step 1: 
Cut the paper towel in half length-wise. Then, fold each half in half.


Step 2: 
Get the paper towels wet, but not soaked.
Both halves of the paper towel should be damp, but not dripping wet.
If you have over-watered, be sure to squeeze out any extra moisture.

Step 3: 
Place one half of the wet paper towel on a small dish.

Step 4: 

Place your seeds on the towel by laying them on their blunt end.
Be sure to allow roughly ½” of space between the seeds, so that the roots do not get tangled.

Step 5:

Cover with the other half of the paper towel making sure it is in contact with the seeds.

Step 6:

Finally, place an upside down dish on top — like you would to keep leftovers warm.
Make sure the dish on top is the same size and type as the bottom dish.
This is to keep the marijuana seeds in the dark and the humidity high to add water to your dried out seeds.



_____________________________________________________________
Now you’re seeds have the perfect environment for germination.___
Here’s some advice so you don’t accidentally kill your precious seeds!
Keep the seeds at about 70°F to 85°F. The top of the refrigerator (a warm zone) is a good option.
Make sure the towel never dries out or you will kill the seeds.

Check the seeds twice a day until you see the seed case split.
Look for the emergence of a tiny root at the bottom and a white shoot at the top.
Usually all viable seeds will have opened within 48 hours........
Be very careful handling them at this point. They are very fragile.

Once you can see the root and shoot, plant the seeds on their sides in the growing medium of your choice.
Here’s how!.!!!!

How To Plant Cannabis Seeds
Now that your seeds have germinated, it’s time to plant them.
One thing to watch out for before you start:
Any growing medium used for germination must also have the correct pH for cannabis seeds.
This guide explains how to properly plant your seeds in soil.
Rockwool also works, but can be more complicated. This guide is after the simple-life!
Remember, while you may have created a humid environment to germinate older seeds, humidity is a young plant killer!
Cannabis is a ultimately a desert plant, and does best under arid conditions.

Step 1:
Take 3-4″ diameter pots or a seedling tray and fill with quality potting soil.

Step 2: 
Press the soil slightly down and make a half-inch deep hole with a pencil or finger.

Step 3:
If you are planting new seeds prior to germination, place the seed in a horizontal position in the hole ___(this is the easiest method). Fill the hole and gently tap down the soil. If you are planting pre-germinated seeds, place the germinated seed in a vertical position, with root tip down and the young shoot up.!!!!!!!

Step 4:
Use chlorine free water (preferably good mineral water without gas) with a pH of 6-6.5 to water the pots. Don’t use tap water unless you have tested for the proper pH!

The soil should be uniformly moist and properly watered, but not soggy or waterlogged.

The pots or tray should also not stand in a tray filled with water. Instead of pouring water in, use a spoon or small beaker to water properly.

This will help you to avoid accidentally over watering the soil.

Step 5: Put the pots or tray at a warm location and ideally under lighting. Temperatures at 75°F or higher accelerate germination and growth.

However, take care that the soil does not dry out and that the pots don’t stand in the cold. Anything under 70°F is too cold.

Misting the soil surface with water spray is not effective. Always water the pots properly if the soil surface dries up.

Step 6: Within 3-7 days the seedlings should appear out of the soil! You can switch on your lamps during germination to provide warmth or when the first seedlings appear.

Since cannabis seeds tend to exhibit more activity in night, keeping your lamps on 24 hours to help pull your sprouts out of the soil.

Congratulations! You have successfully planted your cannabis seeds!

HOW TO GROW IN YOUR HOME MARIJUANA.

As the weather warms up, so do most smokers. There is something about the spring and summer months that brings out the toker in all of us. And, sometimes, it brings out our green thumbs, too!

For the more enthusiastic cannabis lover, their attention often turns from rolling joints to another facet of the plant—cultivation. Around this time every year we get flooded with questions from the home hobbyist asking about growing “just one little pot plant” in their own home.

Well, that’s music to our ears here at HIGH TIMES! After all, we’ve been doing this for 40 years, and now it is 2015 and marijuana is (mostly) legal in over half the country. And to be sure, no law enforcement is going to harass you over just one plant, even on their slowest day.

How to Begin

First, let’s remove any fear you may have that this is going to be difficult. It is not.

We call it “weed” for a reason—because it grows easily and anywhere, like a weed. That being said, there is one central aspect to growing a pot plant that everyone needs to understand, and that is that cannabis is a flowering plant, meaning that in nature it bears its fruits only once a year, during the fall season when the daylight hours grow shorter.
This is important for the home indoor grower because the light period, or photoperiod, of the plant must be controlled. What this simply means is that a pot plant must be placed in 12+ hours of light every day in order to keep the plant from flowering.

You might ask, “Why not just let the plant flower immediately and harvest some nice buds and get to the smoking?”

Well, in truth, you could do that. But if an immature plant flowers too early, there won’t be much harvest to be had. Ideally, a pot plant need to grow, or “vegetate,” for at least a few weeks before flowering. Otherwise, the harvesting of it’s fruit will be extremely disappointing.

In order to keep a plant in vegetation and to garner a healthy, well-developed specimen, a young seedling should be grown for four to six weeks before flowering is induced. During this time, the plant should get a minimum of 16 hours of light, but 18-20 hours is a safer bet. To do this indoors—even near a window with good sunlight—a lamp will be needed to ensure the proper length of its photo period.



Horticultural Lighting



Your lamp is going to be the most expensive part of the process, but there are relatively inexpensive lamps available that will do the job. Serious growers use more specialized and expensive lamps, but to grow just one plant at home, many lights will work. A 250-watt HID (high-intensity discharge) bulb—either an HPS (high-pressure sodium) or MH (metal halide)—can be found in hardware stores such as Lowe’s or Home Depot for as little as $25. However, these bulbs do require a specialized HID fixture and/or ballast, as they do not screw into any standard home fixture safely. (These fixtures may run as much as $200.)

Alternatively, if you do have a window with very good light and the power of the sun for a good portion of the day, you can also use fluorescent bulbs to supplement the sunlight after sunset. Fluorescent bulbs such as T5’s, T8’s or even CFL’s can provide enough light to keep your plant in a vegetative state.

However, remember that the less intense the light, the less the plant will develop. The option of fluorescent bulbs should only be used as supplemental light for plants that receive strong sunlight during the day. If the light provided during the day is too weak, a plant will stretch wildly and not develop well enough for a harvest. If this is the case, consider using the 250-watt HID option for the full 12-hour photoperiod during flowering, away from a window in it’s own enclosed location.

Triggering the Flowering Cycle

Once your plant has developed enough and reached a point that she can produce enough flowers for a decent harvest, it is time to bring her light cycle to an even 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark each day. This does not mean that you will no longer need your lamp though. During the 12-hour photoperiod of flowering, the plant will need the strongest light possible to help her produce energy for her fruit.

If your plant could be in direct sunlight for these 12 hours, you would not need strong supplemental lighting. However, even outdoors this is usually not possible. Your best option for flowering is to move your plant into an enclosed location such as a closet or cabinet where you can hang your lamp overhead and control the light cycle exactly as needed. To do this, use a standard outlet timer and set it to a 12-hour cycle.

During the dark cycle, it is extremely important that no light enters the plant space. Any light leaks can disrupt the plant’s flowering and cause stress or confuse the plant, forcing her to hermaphrodite (creating seeded flowers) or severely weaken yield and quality.



Other Tips & Tricks

Aside from your light and the possible need for an enclosed space, other considerations for your plant include container types, mediums and nutrients. Because this discussion pertains to a single plant, there are many viable options for these aspects of cultivation.

The best options for plant containers are those that offer breathability, such as fabric pots. Other considerations for plant pots include drainage holes and saucers to catch run-off. Remember not to let your plants sit in stagnant water for long periods of time as the pH will change and eventually be redrawn by the medium and the plant. Siting water also attracts bugs and molds.

In terms of medium, a small bag of organic potting soil usually will do the trick just fine. Peat-, coco-, or sphagnum-based mediums are also excellent choices. Remember to choose an airy medium that will allow air to penetrate the root zone. Roots breath in oxygen, while the plant above ground breathes in CO2.

Some mediums, especially organic soils, may come with mild organic nutrients such as guano or sea kelp already mixed in. This will lessen the amount of nutrients you will need to give your plant and may not require any feedings at all until you begin flowering. Recommendations for nutrients also tend towards the organic side whenever possible. Steer clear of salt-heavy synthetics such as Miracle Gro and other artificial nutrients, as they will cause more problems than they are worth.

Other than those points, remember that growing a pot plant—or any plant for that matter—is an exercise that connects you with nature. The goal is to enjoy the process, to learn and to have fun!
