Marijuana Seed

Marijuana Seed:

You bought your cannabis seeds from our seed bank where we breed them every year for yield, potency and pest resistance, or you just picked a few seeds from a bag of marijuana you got from your friend. Anyway learn how to determine if the seeds are healthy.

Viable, healthy seeds can usually be spotted from their external appearance. A good seed will be well fleshed-out and not crinkled or cracked. Take some seeds into one hand and rub them between your palms. Good seeds will appear to be glossy and gray, gray-green or gray-brown in color and have a good weight with a fleshy appearance. To further test your seed quality, take the selected seeds you intend to plant and drop them into a pan or bowl with distilled water in it. The healthy seeds will usually have enough mass to cause them to sink (it is recommended that this test be performed just prior to planting because the seeds must be kept dry until ready to germinate).

Look at every seed for signs of immaturity meaning the color and patterns on the marijuana seed surface is blended, grey or geenhish and the surface is too soft. Too young seeds are also smaller and much lighter than ripe ones and when dropped into the water, premature seeds will not drown, you will see them floating on the water surface.

If you want further deeper tests for viable seeds, take the matter beyond just the external examination. Several internal conditions will affect the ability of the seed to germinate and these are not detectable by the appearance and the water test methods. One reliable test is to randomly select a few seeds from the batch that has a good appearance. Crack them open, smell and taste them. If they have a musty, oily taste, they are probably old seeds and are on the verge of going bad. If you notice any seeds which have a black appearance inside, then fermentation has begun to set in and there is very little chance that such seeds will germinate. Conversely, if they look pale and dusty inside then they are old and will have a low germination rate and produce feeble, sickly plants at best.

Quality viable marijuana seeds are bigger, have clear distinct surface color pattern, are heavy with healthy embrio and the surface is hard. Usually the best quality seeds are those bought directly from a producer over the internet, also quality is very high when buying at specialised marijuana seed shops in countries where law allowes retail marijuana seeds commerce.

Perhaps the most reliable test, if you start your selection testing well in advance of planting time, is to simply germinate a small group of randomly selected seeds from those which appear healthy. This will give you a fairly accurate estimate of what to expect from your batch of selected seeds after planting. A germination percentage above 50% is considered excellent for seeds acquired on the streets. Professional marijuana seeds online providers proud themselves with germination ratio of 90% up to 100% and in most cases it is a true promise that will come true.

Of course, germination is the ultimate test, but remember it is not 100% sure, because if it is a grower who doesn't know how to germinate seeds properly and damages them during germination, you will never know if you had quality seeds or not. That is why if you plan growing marijuana plants every year, and interested in checking out new genetic achievements, be sure to examine your seeds carefully.

How to Germinate Marijuana Seeds:

Germinating marijuana seeds is an easy task, but requires some attention.

Firstly, practice germinating marijuana seeds with the free cannabis seeds that came with your order.

Many marijuana seed banks throw in these twenty free marijuana seeds to help with germination.

If you're going to ruin marijuana seeds during the germination process why not ruin the free cannabis seeds. Once you've got a handle of germinating cheap marijuana seeds then break open the expensive marijuana seeds for the real germination deal.

There are different methods of marijuana seed germination that prove successful:

MATERIALS: Paper-towels (at least 2 sheets), 2 plates/dishes (or similar object), warm water.

Place your marijuana seeds onto a damp paper-towel which is placed on a plate/dish or similar object and cover them with another damp paper-towel. For best results, use water that is a bit warmer than room-temperature and cover the plate/dish with another plate/dish.

  • To prevent heat from escaping, as well as protect the marijuana seeds from light.
  • It is important that your marijuana seeds are removed as soon as the taproot has emerged.
  • If the marijuana seeds are left to soak too long the tap root could die.
  • After a period of 48 hours to seven days the vast majority of viable marijuana seeds will crack open with a white root tip emerging.
  • At this point the marijuana seed is gently placed in the growing medium approximately 1/2 inch deep with the root tip pointed downward.

What are other Methods of Marijuana Seed Germination?

There are numerous ways germinate marijuana seeds.

Pre-soaking your marijuana seeds in a jar before planting them is a terrific way to ensure a greater germination percentage and faster cannabis seed germination rates.

Marijuana seeds should be soaked in a dark warm environment.

In this method, the grower places his/her marijuana seeds in a cup/mug of some sort, which is filled with warm water.

For best results, use water that is a bit warmer than room temperature. It is normal for the marijuana seeds to float on the surface. Let the marijuana seeds soak for a while as it is virtually impossible to over-soak cannabis seeds using this method.

Marijuana seeds should only be soaked until the taproot has emerged. Both of these methods of marijuana seed germination are equally effective if executed correctly. Most cannabis seeds should show their taproots within 24 hrs, and all weed seeds should show taproots within 48 hrs.
