How to Germinate Marijuana Seeds

So your plot is ready for planting. You now have two choices: you can either sow the seeds directly into the ground, or you can transplant pre-germinated plants that you have started off at home. Usually start these off in a dark place and then move the seedlings under lights or on a window ledge. Germinating them inside will give a much higher success rate. For more information on marijuana germination you should read the section on growing marijuana indoors.

For now let us assume that you will be planting seeds directly into the soil.

A good supply of water is crucial

Planting should take place early in the season, around April or May, after the last frost.

Obviously the exact timing will depend on where you live – this is based on the Northern hemisphere i.e. in time for spring and summer. For the southern hemisphere such as Australia where spring commences on the 1st Of September you would look for any warm spell after that date. Marijuana plants will not tolerate frost so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Plant the seeds around 1.25cm (1/2”) deep into your prepared soil. Plant them sideways, we find this works well quite consistently. Make sure that they are well watered and will not dry out if there are some sunny days, make sure you keep them moist at all times. After approximately 48 hours you should start to see the first signs of the seed cracking open and the first shoots coming out. That’s how to germinate a marijuana seed!

    I just threw my seeds in a shot glass with water and they started sprouting like in a couple of days! I’m just nervous when its growing because i dont want it to die because my last one did. I dont know it was from the plant being done growing or i killed it so ill try again. Besides i found these seeds in a g i bought. C:

    Honestly what I was told was to get a cup of warm water and place the seed in it and put it in me a dark place and leave it for 24 hours and come back if the seed sank it’s ready to be planted if it didn’t leave it for a few more hours I used miracle grow soil and my plant was at least a foot tall within 2 weeks

    I always put seeds in rows on a paper towel and fold it so they don’t move. Wet the towel a bit and put them in a ziplock bag. Towel just needs to be moist. Then finally I put the baggy into a book. I used Harry potter for some extra magic..? Any way don’t press the book shut just close it gently and put it back on the shelf. Slight pressure is fine. Keep it dark and after about 4 days I checked it and outta about 30 seeds only about 5 hadn’t started growing. Some had really started growing good. They are in the dirt as of about an hour ago.

    the best way i get my seeds started is just to put them in a cup of water and but them in a dark place in let them stay there for about 3 or 4 days and they will bee at least a inch or to long
    then i just put good soil over them a little pile on each seed to let the root set then put them in a coffee tub and let them grow about a foot then you can plant them in the ground easy just cut the bottom off the coffee tub and a hole on each side of it then put it in the ground
    a big plant pot is the best thing to use if your going to grow it bye your house that way you dont got to worry about weed and itf off the ground so most bugs cant get to it just cut the coffe tub or whatever your uesing like i said then set the hole thing in your plant pot and i find its best to do right after it gets dark
