The germination of marijuana refers to the process of making your seeds sprout, releasing tiny white tendrils after roughly 24 hours. Successfully cultivating cannabis from seed can be a great way to develop a crop with fresh genetics and a potentially large yield. Rocket Seeds offers a germination guarantee of 80%, ensuring that each grower finds success so long as they follow the proper steps.
Equipment You Will Need
To properly germinate your seeds from Rocket Seeds, collect the following items before beginning. Our goal with the following tools is to properly prevent cross-contamination while maximizing your potential success with germination.
With your tools collected, the process of germinating your seeds can begin.
Prepare Your Seeds
Place your cannabis seeds in the glass cup that you collected above. Fill the cup with distilled water at room temperature. Now allow your seeds to soak for between 14 and 18 hours, using your fingers to make sure that the seeds sink. It is okay if the seeds begin to crack at this point.
Put Your Seeds in the Towel
After 14 to 18 hours, pour the seeds and the water onto your absorbent paper towel. Fold the towel atop the seeds before draining the excess water. Seeds need air, moisture, and heat to germinate, so avoid the mistake of putting your seeds in a drawer or dark cabinet. Over the next several days, and sometimes as quickly as 24 hours, you will notice a white taproot beginning to develop.
Time to Transplant
After your taproot has developed to at least three-fourths of an inch, it is time to transplant your germinated seeds. Use plain soil for potting as well as for the first three weeks of your crop. Closely monitor your crop at this point to ensure the continued development of your plant.
Reasons for Failure
- Seeds were not soaked long enough.
- Paper towels were too wet or too dry.
- Tap water impurities can lead to germination failure.
