Germination is the key to growing cannabis. Germination refers to the process of turning a seed in to a plant. It involves activating the seed’s internal functions and causing it sprout and grow. We will be discussing the best methods for germinating cannabis seed. Method 1: Germinating in the Soil One of the most common methods for growing cannabis is to germinate seeds in soil. Fill a small container with soil. Water it until it becomes damp but not soaking. Next, create a 1/4 inch hole in the soil and then place the seed inside. Then cover the seed with soil. Water it again, taking care not to overwater it. The container should be kept in a dark and warm place until the seedling emerges. Method 2: Germinating in water Place cannabis seeds in water is another popular way to germinate them. Place the seeds in a glass, jar or container filled with warm water. The container should be kept in a dark and warm place for at least 5 days. After the seed germinates, remove the container from the water and place it in the soil. Method 3: Germinating in Paper Towels Because you can see the progress of the cannabis seed germination process, it is very popular to germinate them in paper towels. Place the seeds on a piece of paper towel by dampening it with water. Place the seeds on the paper towel and fold it over. The bag should be kept in a cool, dark place. Keep it moistened by checking on it each day. After the seedlings are established, plant them in soil. Tips to Successful Germination Use fresh seeds. Seeds that have been stored incorrectly or are too old may not germinate. Maintain a consistent temperature: Between 70 and 85 degrees F is the ideal temperature for germinating cannabis seed. Make sure the environment is dark. Light can cause disruptions in the germination process. Take your time: Germination can take up to seven days. So be patient. Germination is the first step to growing healthy cannabis plants. The techniques described in this article will help you succeed. To get the best results, germinate your seeds using soil, water or paper towels. Have fun growing!
