The following 2 sections are about how to plant cannabis seeds. The first section is about planting cannabis seeds for use in hydroponic systems. The second section is about planting seeds in soil. The two sections are fairly similar, except for some minor points that have to do with the specific medium.

It’s very important that your tools are clean. Plants can get diseases from unclean tools, so wash the tools, trays, etc. with anti-bacterial soap.
Make sure that your clothes and hair don’t have any bugs on them that want to eat plants. In other words, don’t go walking in the woods and then right afterwards planting seeds in your clean grow room.

Seeds sprout the best when the humidity is high, about 60-70%. The temperature should be around 25 Centigrade.

1. Hydroponic Systems:

Whether you grow in rockwool, perlite, or another medium, it is easiest to start the seeds in rockwool cubes.

You can buy plastic trays with cubes of rock wool pre-cut, or you can buy a large sheet of rockwool and cut small cubes of 1 cm thick and 2 inch digits. Put them in small cups. Make sure that each cup has a hole for drainage, otherwise the roots will rot.

Drill a hole on top of each rockwool cube, wide enough to drop a seed about half an inch deep. The cubes of water at the bottom, letting excess water drip off.

Drop the seeds into the holes, one seed per hole.

Put the cubes under fluorescent lights. It should not be a bright light, 40 watts will do. Hang the lights 2-3 inches above the cubes. This will give you maximum exposure to light and heat generated by lights to facilitate germination. Keep the lights on all day and night.

Make sure the temperature is 25 C or 90 F., if necessary, buy a mat on the gardening store and put the cups or tray.

After several days the seeds germinate.

When the seeds germinate, take every day that the lights are high enough in plants. If necessary, increase the lighting to give the seedlings room. At this stage, they grow very quickly.

About 3-5 days after the seeds germinate, the roots show through the bottom of the cube of rockwool. It is a good time to transplant plants. Prepare a large slab of rockwool by cutting a space rock wool cube and water thoroughly. Use tepid water so that the seedling won’t get a shock. Carefully take the rockwool cube out of its paper cup or other holder, making sure that you don’t touch the roots that poke through the cube and that the roots don’t get damaged in any other way, such as rubbing the cube against the cup. Place the cube into the hole that you cut out in the big rockwool slab. If at this stage you discover that the hole is not big enough, don’t try to press the cube into the hole. Instead, gently remove the cube and make the hole bigger.

Make sure that the small cube does not sink in the hole lower than the rest of the surface. The small cube should rather stick out a bit. This prevents stem rot, which otherwise might occur if water can form a puddle at the base of the stem.

After the transplanting you can start adding nutrients to the water. There are special mixes for seedlings and transplanted plants. If you use nutrients that are not specifically for seedlings, use half the dosage.

2. Planting Seeds in Soil:

In general, plants do not like to hear is transplanted into a different environment than they are accustomed. Be given a crash, so stop growing until you get used to the new land. It is preferable to bear this in mind from the beginning.

You can start seeds in several ways. You can use peat cups filled with the same soil mixture used for growing plants to maturity. peat cups are made of pressed peat and come in different sizes. The roots of the seedlings just grow through the cup so no need to remove the cup when the transplant.

Another method is a peat pill. These are round, pressed pieces of peat soak in water. Swell to four times its size.

Cup will be refined, allowing excess water to drain.

Make a small hole in the top soil in the turf cutting, or at the top of the peat pill, about half an inch deep, wide enough to drop a seed

Drop the seeds into the holes, one seed per hole. Place the cups on a tray that allows excess water runoff.

Put the cups fluorescent lights. He does not need to be a strong light, 40 watts will do. Hang the lights 2-3 inches above the tray. This will give maximum exposure to credit risk comes from light and heat lamps to facilitate germination. Keep the lights on all day and night.

Make sure the temperature is 25 C or 90 F., if necessary, buy a mat on the gardening store and put it under the tray. A few days the seeds sprout.

Check twice a day, if the instrument is sufficiently moist. If you touch the ground or peat with your finger and it feels damp, it is moist enough. If it feels dry to the touch, add a bit ‘of water, allowing excess water to flow out. Do not soak the cup thoroughly, because the cannabis seed can begin to rot. Just a little bit ‘of water should be done. The water is warm and not cold. The cold water is a negative shock to germinate the seeds, adding stress and possibly delay sprouting. Do not add any nutrients at this point. Plain, warm water.

When the seeds germinate, take every day that the lights are high enough in plants. If necessary, increase the lighting to give the seedlings room. At this stage, they grow very quickly.

 

About 3-5 days after the seeds germinate, the roots will show through the bottom of the cup. This is the right time to move plants. Prepare a mixture of cannabis, the dirtiness of your choice. Net water completely, leaving the excess water drip off. Use lukewarm water so the plants can not be a shock. Make a hole big enough to fit in the middle of the cup to take care of marijuana in the cup, be sure not to touch the roots poke through the canopy and the roots are not damaged any way, such as rubbing the cup against anything. Place the cup into the hole that you dug in the dirt. If at this stage you discover that the hole is not big enough, don’t try to press the cup into the hole. Instead, gently remove the cup and make the hole bigger.

Make sure the cup does not sink into the hole below the rest of the surface. The cup should not stick a little. This prevents stem rot, which otherwise may occur if water can form a puddle at the base of the stem.

Once transplanted, you can start adding nutrients to the water. There are special mixes for plants and crops planted. If you use the nutrients that plants are not particularly, use half the dose.

Cannabis seeds from Amsterdam are highly recommend for plantation purposes because the cannabis seeds from Amsterdam have high germination success. Buy Dutch Seeds from Amsterdam to achieve required growth of  cannabis.
