One of the best methods for germinating cannabis seeds is to use the paper towel method. This process is simple, easy, and effective in producing high success rates and healthy seedlings.
First, you will need a few paper towels, a bowl of clean room temperature water, and the cannabis seeds. Soak the paper towels in the water until they are completely saturated, then you can spread the wet paper towels out on a plate. Place the cannabis seeds evenly spaced out over the wet paper towels, making sure that the seeds are not touching each other. Now, cover the plate with another damp paper towel, and place it in a warm area out of direct sunlight.
Now all you have to do is wait! Check the plate every day and add more water when necessary. If you can provide a warm and humid environment, you should start to see results in a few days to a week. The seeds should start to crack open and a small white root should begin to emerge. If a seed hasn’t germinated within a week, discard it and focus on the ones that have.
Once the root begins to emerge, it’s time to plant the seeds in a starter medium. This can be anything from rockwool cubes to potting mix, as long as it’s light and airy so that the seedlings can easily push their way through. Once the starter cube is moist, carefully place the seedling with its root facing downwards, and lightly firm down the medium.
Water it regularly, making sure not to over-saturate it and keep it in a warm and humid environment, as this will help the seedling’s roots to develop quickly. Always make sure to avoid any direct exposure to sunlight, as this can burn the delicate seedling.
If the environment is good, and you’re providing the seedling with plenty of light and ample water, your seedling should be ready to be transplanted into a larger container or outdoor soil beds within a few weeks. This method is reliable and should ensure a high success rate, as well as strong and healthy seedlings.
