During germination, the marijuana seeds awaken from its inactivity. Water is essential here, for as soon as the seed has absorbed a sufficient amount of water, the seedling begins to form its root system. Next it breaks through its shell. There are various possibilities for the process of germinating:
Presoaking – Put some moist tissues on a plate. Put the seeds on top of them, then put a layer of moist tissues on the seeds. Cover plate with another upturned plate, so that the seeds are in darkness and the environment remains moist. Put the covered seeds in a warm place (21 ° C). method of updating towels: marijuana budding easy and successful. Check the seeds every day, sprinkle the tissues if necessary and carefully transplant the seeds when opening and the tip of the root becomes visible.
