Cannabis Growing 101
Cannabis is an annual plant belonging to the small family of flowering plants called Cannabaceae. The plant will complete its life cycle in one growing season. Indoors, we control the seasons:
Vegetative stage:
Lights 24H on or 18H on and 6H off
Flowering stage:
Lights 12H on and 12H off
How to Germinate a Seed
Cracked or dull-looking cannabis seeds are not likely to germinate. We recommend having your grow room set up properly before germinating.
Paper Towel Method: Take a normal paper towel and fold it in two. Gently wet the inside of the towel. Place a seed between the folds and place it in a tupperware to maintain moisture. Check daily to see if the seed has begun to sprout.
Soaking Method: Place seeds into a glass of distilled water. The seeds should float unless you cover them with water completely. Within 48 hours the seeds should sprout. If the seeds do not germinate after 3 days let them seeds sink to the bottom. Closely monitor seeds to see if they begin to open. After they open, transfer seeds into soil.
Direct Seed: Place your seed into a small pot of potting soil about 0.75-1 inch deep and water in. Maintain good soil moisture and wait for seedling to emerge. Do not over water or let the soil dry out completely.
