To grow marijuana from seeds, you can follow these steps:
- Germinating the Seeds:
- Soak the seeds in tap water for 12 hours to identify viable seeds.
- Place viable seeds on a wet paper towel and store them at 70-85°F.
- Keep the paper towels moist by spraying them with water several times a day.
- Planting the Seeds:
- Fill small garden pots with potting soil or use starter cubes for planting.
- Make a 1/4 inch deep hole in the soil, drop the seeds with the tap root facing down, and cover them with soil1.
- Provide warmth and moisture for germination, aiming for 85°F initially and then shifting to 75-78°F once seeds emerge from the soil.
- Caring for Seedlings:
- Provide sufficient light as soon as seeds emerge to avoid stretchy seedlings.
- Feed seedlings with a complete fertilizer once the first true leaves appear.
- Maintain relative humidity at 70-80% with gentle airflow to prevent stretching and production problems
- Additional Tips:
- Avoid pinching seedlings too early to prevent undesirable growth.
- Control height mechanically by brushing seedlings to produce robust plants.
- Establish a planting or moving out date to avoid stunting growth.
By following these steps and tips, you can successfully grow marijuana from seeds indoors or outdoors.
