Follow this simple advice on Germinating Marijuana Seeds to have a 100% success
rate


This is the safest approach on germinating Marijuana
Seeds.
Get some Jiffy Peat Pellets from the handystore or gardencentre.
They look like this:

These compressed Peat Pellets have to be soaked in water before
use. They'll expand to their real size within a few minutes.
Put them in water:

After a few minutes they'll become fat.
Now put one seed into it. Put it aproximately 1 cm (0.4 inch) deep
into the peat and cover it.
It does not matter in which position the seed lies. Just make
a 1 cm (0.4 inch) deep hole and let the seed fall in. Than cover
it with soil.

Once the seed is in the wet soil, it will begin its
life. Keep the Peat Pellets warm. But not too warm! 20 deg celsius
- 28 deg is good. That is 68 - 82 degree fahrenheit.
Baby plants that are kept in too warm surrounding
will be sickly and slower in their growth.
Make sure that the Peat Pellets stays moist during
the whole time. Do not let it become dry. Check daily.
Good seeds will usually have a rate of 100% successful
germination.
After 3 - 8 days, the plants will stick their head
out. Like this:

Put the little babys right into the sun or under your
grow light (not too close, you do not want them suffer from heat).
They need direct light.
Right after the head poped out of the soil, it is
also time to put them into pots with soil:

Use quality soil from the garden centre. The better
the soil, the better the plant later.
When putting the plant into the new pot, you can put
it in fairly deep. The stack may amost completely disapear in the
soil. This way the plant is stabilized. The stack that is buried
in soil will develope roots.
About germinating Marijuana seeds in a wet papertowel
...
I have seen many people write about the "wet-papertowel-method".
With that method, the cannabis seeds are put in a
wet papertowel where they will germinate.
Than the seeds are put into peat pellets or other
soil.
I personally think that this is not a good way to
germinate Marijuana Seeds. Because the freshly germinated seeds
have to be touched.
Touching that little baby is similar to touching a
fetus in the womb. It is likely to do harm. Thats why papertowels
are not ideal for germinating Marijuana Seeds.
