When acquiring seeds, you want to make sure they are matured and that they appear dark brown with lighter accents and a hard feel. You don’t want a seed that feels fresh and looks green, which indicates that the seed hasn’t reached full maturity.

Once you have your cannabis seeds, make sure you have the space necessary to allow your plants to grow and be healthy. Don’t pop seeds when you are unsure of your grow space, time availability, or intention with your garden.

Best Ways To Germinate Weed Seeds
Germinate Seeds Directly in Soil
Step 1: Purchase quality soil from a reputable source. You want soil with good drainage, this allows for air exchange; seeds need moisture but you don’t want to drown them.
Step 2: Now, you need to plant your seeds at the right depth. A good rule of thumb is to plant seeds 2 times deeper than the width of the seed.
Step 3: Provide water for your seeds by soaking your container in a tray containing about an inch of water. This allows the soil to be moistened uniformly, preventing over-watering. This also keeps the seed in the perfect place for germination to occur.

Using a Moist Paper Towel
Step 1: Take four sheets of paper towels and soak them with distilled water. The sheets should be soaked but shouldn’t have excess water running off.
Step 2: Take two of the paper towels and place them on a plate. Then, place the cannabis seeds at least an inch apart from each other and cover them with the remaining two sheets of water-soaked paper towels.
Step 3: To create a dark protected space, take another plate and flip it over to cover the seeds (like a dome).
Step 4: Make sure the area they’re kept in is warm, somewhere between 70-90°F.

Starter Cubes & Seedling Plugs
Step 1: After buying your plugs or cubes, soak them in water until they are fully saturated.
Step 2: Place your seed(s) into the pre-cut holes in the plugs. Use some of the plug material to gently cover the opening.
Step 3: Put the plugs into a square box or tray and cover with a plastic dome. This ensures a high humidity environment, which increases germination success, and helps seedlings along after germination.

Tips
Keep the seeds moist. If they dry out, they may take longer to germinate or no longer be viable.
Make sure the seeds are indeed cannabis seeds and not hemp seeds.
If the seeds do not germinate immediately, do not discard them. Try planting them in soil and wait 2 to 3 weeks to see if they germinate and sprout.
The only way to ensure you are cultivating all female plants is to purchase clones rather than starting from seed.
Prepare pH neutral water in advance, and keep a 10-day supply at all times. You will need more water as the plant continues to grow.
