An important part of marijuana cultivation is germinating your seeds properly.
There are several different methods to seed germination. The method I am about
to show you is one which is simple and can work well.
First, get a paper towel. Soak it in warm distilled water, then ring out all the
excess water that you can. Soak the seeds in the same distilled water for a half
hour. Lay the seeds spaced out on one half of the paper towel. Fold the paper
towel over the seeds. Place the seeds / paper towel on a plate. Place a bowl
upside down over the setup to maintain moisture and reduce light.
A better way is to use grow plugs, like what you would with cloning, they are a bit bigger than 1 inch 2.5cm squared. You push the seed in, wet it, and it usually works, leave it wet, not flooded, but never completely dry. This part is important especially if you just shelled out on seeds. Wait till roots start to appear through the bottom. Plant them. We always use fluros but other lights can be used not too near, at least 1/2 meter (1 1/2 feet). Keep damp (important).
In approximately 2 days you should see a crack. Your germination stage is then complete.
Warning
Never touch the seeds with your hands after you begin germinating, always use tweezers.
Warning
Once
germination is complete, always remember to place the seeds sprout down.
