How to grow a marijuana seed
1. Germination (1–7 Days)
- Place seed in a damp paper towel or directly in soil.
- Keep in a dark, warm place (70–80°F / 21–27°C).
- Wait for taproot to emerge.
2. Seedling Stage (2–3 Weeks)
- Transfer germinated seed to small pot with light soil.
- Use 18–24 hours of light daily (LED or fluorescent).
- Keep humidity at 65–70%, temperature at 70–80°F.
- Water lightly; no strong nutrients yet.
3. Vegetative Stage (3–8 Weeks)
- Transplant to a larger pot.
- Light cycle: 18 hrs on / 6 hrs off.
- Use nitrogen-rich nutrients.
- Maintain 70–85°F temperature and 40–60% humidity.
- Train plants (LST, topping) to improve canopy and yield.
4. Flowering Stage (6–12 Weeks)
- Change light cycle to 12 hrs on / 12 hrs off.
- Use bloom nutrients (high in phosphorus and potassium).
- Lower humidity to 40–50%.
- Watch for pests and remove male plants (unless feminized).
5. Harvesting
- Harvest when 70–90% of pistils darken and trichomes are milky/amber.
- Flush with plain water for 1–2 weeks before cutting.
- Cut plant, trim buds, and hang to dry in 50% humidity, dark room.
6. Curing (2–4 Weeks)
- Place dried buds in glass jars.
- Open jars daily for 10–15 mins during first week (burping).
- Store in cool, dark place for full cure.
Tips:
- Monitor pH: 6.0–7.0 in soil.
- Avoid overwatering.
- Use quality genetics for best results.
This method ensures healthy plants and high-quality buds.
