At this stage, the strain you chose makes no difference because all marijuana seedlings are quite delicate after germination. Always keep the taproot of your seeds in mind while transplanting them.
Do not touch it for any reason! The plant may survive when you touch it but break the taproot. However, the effects will show later in the life of the plant, usually as stunted growth. Drop the white taproot about 0. Let the top part of the seed rest just beneath the surface of your grow medium. Cover it gently and let it rest for a maximum of 10 days.
Nature has a way of correcting such incidents. Light is essential to most plant species, including the cannabis plant. Mature marijuana plants use it to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide, commonly called photosynthesis. Sugar serves as the primary source of resources necessary for healthy growth and development, apart from soil minerals and nutrients. Depending on where you store your seedling and the method used for germination, lighting may be required because the seeds need heat.
When lighting is necessary, you can use fluorescent lights with K color temperature and T5 high output. Next, you need a moist, humid environment. You can spray moisture on your setup when required to keep it from drying up or wrap your pot with plastic wrap. This will create a biodome for your setup. However, you must get rid of the plastic wrap when any tap roots emerge or sprout break through the soil. No matter which method you choose for germinating your marijuana seeds, there are some errors you should try and avoid.
Most of these mistakes are common among new growers. Placing the seed too deep when planting or transplanting them. Using a direct method where soil conditions are unfavorable. Using too much fertilizer instead of a porous and moist environment. Leaving seeds to be drawn in water when soaking them.
Failing to hygienically handle radicles, seedlings, and seeds, especially with wet, dirty hands. Exposing the young roots to air for too long when transplanting them. However, it all begins with the right seeds bought from the right source. Then after germination comes other challenges when plants start growing toward maturity. Watching your marijuana plants go through the four growth stages of development is exciting and satisfying.

Using them makes transplantations easy. That was the easy part for me, the rest has been more challenging! Good luck! Hi Ori! Spraying the soil with water after planting the germinated seed is the best way to keep the right levels of humidity. If the soil is dry, the seed also may die.
The soil must be kept humid but also avoid overwatering. I hope it helps! I germinated two seeds and planted them in small planters the half pint size that seedlings come in from the nursery. Keep in mind the distance between the plant and the grow lights, which depends on their intensity and temperature. Filling the pots with soil mix to cover the elongated and weak stem, leaving out only 3 cm of stem and leaves may help to keep the plant up.
Eventually, the stem will grow stronger and roots will expand. Happy growing! Thanks for tops. Have 2 small plants growing. Been years since I grew any. Have killed a few seeds and plants recently. Too much water. Hi Daniel! This is a very common mistake! Plants can absorb water with their leaves too, so spraying them with water now and then helps to avoid overwatering in the seedling stage. Hi there…in Virginia and getting ready to start growing legally July 1….
Thanks in advance for answers to questions I will probably be asking. Hi Joe! Thank you so much for reading and commenting. Stay tuned for more articles like this one. Hi- I have a couple of plants that I started from seeding inside. Fabric pots in Kellogg organic plus soil outside in direct sunlight for 6 hours per day. They are growing daily, but every day the new set of leaves at the bottom that reach decent size will turn pale yellow, then light brown and fall off. The next day this starts all over again with the next set of leaves from the bottom.
Any ideas of what I should do? The other plant has 3 sets of leaves and was seeded a month after the 1st one….. Any help would be greatly appreciated! As Grow with Jane app user, you also access our growing community where you can share photos, ask questions and more. Also been having success using my cloner and rooting directly in a foam insert, spraying 1 minute on, 10 off. Never add nutrients until you have at least true sets of leaves which proves there is a root zone to take up nutrients.
Be patient or you will kill your seedlings. As far as sprouts not coming up; Many things could cause this. Mishandling the sprout, planting too deep, drowning sprout with too much water, etc, etc…. Hi Matthew, I see you have quite some questions. The best place to get answers is our support forum Our experts and fellow growers can answer all questions you may have. I keep dirt moist around outside and spray top once a day. A bunch of them will be. Seeds live a long time in the wild and these were kept dark and dry.
SOAK them in water until they sink or when you tap them they sink. Just sprouted 9 seeds within 36 hours. First ones within 20 hours. DO NOT throw away or give up on slow starters. Take an exacto, steel wool, anything abrasive will do. More will sprout. I take remaining slow starters and repeat until all spout or becomes obvious it was DOA.
Live in small condo and need to use my kitchen for veg room. North facing double slider door. Can I run lights dark hours only? Or run lights 18 or I am going to be using this space for clones, veg, mother s , and re-veg heavy producers for future grows.
I also have grown from old seeds a wonderful mystery strain. How do I find out what it is? Is it possible to produce seeds? Hi glo, 30 years is a long time! If stored cool and dry all that time they may still germinate. As long as the sprout Cotyledon, was not damaged and you are referring to just the actual husk falling off, then you should not have any worry. What happens if the seed pod falls off while transferring from wet paper towel to soil?

I intend to germinate and get started indoors using sunlight and then transplant to much larger pots and grow outdoors. My question, is how much heat and sunlight is too much? I had originally planned on shading and controlling it some on a open but covered patio, which they still would receive much light mainly morning and later afternoon for direct, but avoid the severe direct mid day summer sun.
Around hear in summer we hit normal heat around F sometimes higher. Watering is not an issue which I have a auto drip and sprinkler system controlled and programmable. Growing season again not an issue it is about to begin planting time here in no more than a couple of weeks, our winter is over and it was a cold month.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to receiving the order. I always order my seeds online, straight from Amsterdam. They have over 40 years of experience there and you notice it in their genetics. I can advise anyone looking for seeds to take a look at seedmarket.

Had the least amount of luck with the strawberry kush, gold leaf, and super skunk. None of strawberry kush germinated at all. The super silver haze are the only ones that seem to be legit… kinda bummed out due to the expense of purchasing 4 strains and only one seems to be thriving.
Very easy Thanks. Soak in water 24 hours, into the soil outdoors. Mist multiple times daily until healthy. GL and WW Sprouts appear in 2 to 5 days. Problem solved. I put enough Mir. Grow pot. I guess that may be why plant growing more out instead of growing up? I tried the small peat pods in the small plastic greenhouse. Seems to be growing more out than up…time to move to 5 gal. My point is I prefer the rock wool cubes, and be careful with the small peat pods.
Just like to say that I keep things simple. I bought 10 white willow seeds. Put them in between 2 wet paper towels, put on a baggie, and put them on top of my hot water heater. I read from you Bible, great stuff!! I have grown a few plants over the past few years. All the same way in a greenhouse in soil. Never had a problem germinating until this year the difference is I ordered seeds from this company. I bought five seeds one in each pot. I produced absolutely nothing from any of the seeds.
Contacted customer service and they were absolutely no help at all. So it cost me I will never order from this company again. Livin Hi in AR. USA delivered in 10 days Very impressive! The Ozark Mts.

All seeds arrived quickly and discreetly, I followed your germination recommendations and to say all 5 seeds germinated and are looking great for only 4 days in soil. Less stress on the new sprout this way. When the seeds sprout, if you have ever noticed, the root tip will ALWAYS grow up for a short ways, then will curve back down toward the bigger end.
To verify, put some seeds in a moist paper towel with the pointed ends facing the same way. Put the seeds in the moist paper towel into a baggie, then hang over your low heat sprouting source. The results will speak for them selves. The above paragraph is an old hippe sprouting trick to keep the roots from going crazy if your seeds germ earlier than anticipated.
Not trying to argue, you can place your seeds any way you want. Although cannabis can start growing at any time, it helps to start early so you end up with taller plants and sturdier branches with higher yields.
The mixture of good genes and ideal growing conditions will always produce larger marijuana plants. Be sure to check out all the article on ilovegrowingmarijuana. This will gives you a solid understanding of the growing process and how best to care for your plants. I can only assume that you are asking about growing outside. I am sure that there is a window of grow season in Laredo. I cannot tell you anything about the soil there, but I would grow indoors where you can provide what the plant needs.
I live in southern Texas near Laredo. There is also a lot of oil in my town so I was wondering if it was even possible to grow with these conditions? As far as to what strain would work best; I suggest that you find a strain in our seed shop that fits your needs. All will grow in Central Texas. If you are going to start your seeds inside and plan to move the plants outside later; You really do need to pot them and allow them to become strong young plants before moving outdoors.
I am not sold on the idea of growing them under a tree canopy. Put a plate or other object under the bottom towel to prevent moisture damage and another over the top towel to keep the seeds in a dark space. When you see the white taproot emerge from your seeds, they will be ready to transplant. Make sure to plant them taproot down. Lots of folks like this simple, direct method.
Simply soak your seeds overnight in a glass of lukewarm water. The next day, plant them directly in the ground, containers or wherever you plan to grow them.
This is an even more natural method than water soaking. Because they have grown up in their surroundings, they will have acclimated to them. Some folks like to germinate their seeds in Jiffy Pots. You can buy these at nurseries and other places as little round disks. When you are ready to plant, just add water.
