One of the biggest worries facing weed growers is the non-germination of marijuana seeds. This problem can stop a project before it\u2019s begun, setting growers back for weeks or months, depending on how quickly the seeds can be replaced.<\/p>\n
There are a few reasons a cannabis seed might not germinate, including poor handling, bad storage, and ill-advised germination techniques. It\u2019s rarely down to the seed itself, especially when you shop at a trusted, reliable store.<\/p>\n
This article demonstrates how easy it is to germinate your cannabis seeds, achieving success almost every single time. We say \u201calmost,\u201d because seeds are a natural, living thing, and natural, living things can never be 100% predictable.<\/p>\n
With the help of\u00a0Homegrown\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>Germination Guide, you:<\/p>\n This is all you need to know about germinating your marijuana seeds, sourced directly from the Homegrown Cannabis Co.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve received your seeds from the Homegrown Cannabis Co., it\u2019s time to get everything ready. Seeds ship from California, so U.S. customers rarely wait more than a week for delivery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n For step one, you will need to have the following household items ready:<\/p>\n You can use\u00a0Germ Genie<\/a>\u00a0in your germination water, an addition to soil or hydro, or as part of a feeding plan for the first weeks of growth. It\u2019s a kelp-based miracle-in-a-bottle, perfect for beginners or those growing in adverse conditions.<\/p>\n \u201cGerm Genie is amazing for marijuana seeds, a nutrient-packed superfood that practically guarantees success.\u201d \u2013 Kyle Kushman<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Step two is almost as easy as step one. You need to moisten a couple of paper towels, wringing out any excess water. This will create a warm, moist and dark environment \u2013 perfect for sprouting cannabis seeds.<\/p>\n On step three, you need to lay one of your moist paper towels onto a plate. Pull it nice and flat, covering as much of the plate as you can. This acts as the bed. Double-check the moisture levels by gently tipping any excess water off the plate.<\/p>\n This is a very exciting step! Using the tweezers, carefully take your\u00a0Homegrown Cannabis Co marijuana seeds\u00a0<\/a>and place them on the paper towel, keeping them around an inch apart.\u00a0Depending on the size of the plate, you can easily germinate a full, 24-pack of marijuana seeds in one go.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our advice? Germinate your marijuana seeds in small batches, as insurance against mistakes. People lead busy lives, and it\u2019s too easy to forget about (and dry out) your germinating seeds. Be vigilant, but be smart, too. Always give yourself a safety net.<\/p>\n Step five is tucking your seeds in. You take the second paper towel and place it over your seeds, matching the position of the lower towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good idea to pour a little water over the top towel, making sure the \u201cbed\u201d is saturated, but not overflowing.<\/p>\n This is a small but very important step. Gently lift the paper towels to check that there is no standing water underneath. If there is, tip the excess water off the plate,\u00a0without tipping everything off!<\/em><\/p>\n Take the second plate and place it on top of the seeds. This creates a crude but effective incubation chamber: moist, dark, warm and perfect for your eager seeds. Put it in a warm, dark place: A drawer or a cupboard is perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n Step eight is all about monitoring your cannabis seeds, making sure they stay nice and moist, and never letting them dry out. Most seeds take between 24 and 48 hours to germinate, though some can take up to five days. Any seeds that haven\u2019t sprouted within 120 hours can be discarded.\u00a0<\/p>\n Okay, hands in the air \u2013 this isn\u2019t really a step. This is the hugely satisfying end to what you must admit is a pretty easy process. No fancy equipment \u2013 nothing complicated. This step is about peeling back the paper towel to enjoy the sight of popped seeds and taproots, ready to be planted in the substrate of your choice.<\/p>\n There are more growers than ever before in the U.S., dramatically increasing the demand for\u00a0marijuana seeds<\/a>,\u00a0marijuana nutrients<\/a>\u00a0and, more importantly,\u00a0a decent marijuana education<\/a>.
