Marijuana Seed Germination

Marijuana Seed Germination:

Marijuana seeds require moisture, warmth and darkness for successful germination. We recommend you use clean water. Most municipal water supplies have clean, pH neutral water that is very suitable for germination. A small amount of chlorination is beneficial for killing a lot of the parasites in the water. If the local water supply is not of good enough quality to drink then don't use it to germinate seeds. Bottled spring water, without additives or carbonation, is usually a good source of water for germination.

For best germination results, fill a glass with clean, room temperature water. Drop marijuana seeds into the water. The seeds should be left to soak in a dark warm place (65 - 80 degrees F). A kitchen cupboard is usually suitable. Check the seeds about every 12 hours. Tap down the seeds that are floating with your fingertips, don't worry if they continue to float.

Usually within 48 hours the seeds swell and split their outer seed casings. DO NOT continue soaking after the white, initial roots are visible at the crack in the seed casings. The seeds are ready to plant at this point. Soaking the seeds until the roots are exposed can result in stressful, early root damage.

Plant the seeds in a clean, pH balanced medium. The medium should be loose and light with very good drainage. We recommend a blend of Perlite, vermiculite and sphagnum moss. This can be purchased premixed and can be used alone or mixed with light, sterilized potting soil.

Marijuana seeds should be planted about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in containers at least 4 inches deep to allow the initial tap root to grow straight down. The container should have drainage holes to prevent drowning the seeding. The medium or soil should be thoroughly damp, but not soaked. High humidity is essential to good germination rates.

Keep the planted seeds covered with clear plastic. Place the planted seeds under horticultural lights or a cold frame in a warm humid environment (20 - 25 degrees C / 67 - 78 degrees F).

Remove plastic covers, once the marijuana sprouts have cleared the soil surface and the first true serrate leaves are forming. Keep medium or soil damp and fertilized with quarter to half strength vegetative fertilizer during this stage and watch'em grow. GOOD LUCK!

Feminizing Seeds by Soma Published at 2006-08-17

This could be interesting to know

Creating feminized seeds is an art, there are a few different methods of application. I have written about some of my different methods of making seeds in previous HIGH TIMES articles. I have use gibberellic acid, light stress, ph stress, and fertilizer stress to force my plants to make seeds. All these methods are harsh on the plants, and some like the gibbrellic acid, are not organic. In my search for cleaner more earth-friendly ways of working with the cannabis plant, I have found a new way to make feminized seeds.

Article by Soma

Feminized seeds occur as a result of stress, other than genetics. All cannabis plants can and will make male flowers under stress. Certain strains like a higher PH, some like a lower one. Some like a lot of food, some like a lot less. There is quite a lot of variety in marijuana genetics, and you can�t treat every plant the same way.

It takes many harvests before you really get to know a particular strain. Just like getting to know human friends, it takes time. I have grown strains for a decade and am truly getting to know every nuance the different plants exhibit. I can recognize them from a distance. I must say that I get a lot of help from my friends, both in making seeds and learning new and better ways of working with this sacred plant.

I named this new method �Rodelization� after a friend who helped me realize and make use of this way of creating female seeds. After growing crop after crop of the same plant in the same conditions, I noticed that if I flowered the plants 10-14 days longer than usual, they would develop male �bananas�. A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do. They are a built in safety factor so in case of sever conditions, the plant can make sure that the species is furthered.

To me a male banana is quite a beautiful thing. It has the potential of making all female seeds. Many growers out there have male banana phobia. They see one and have heart palpitations, they want to cut down the entire crop or at least take tweezers and pluck the little yellow emerging devices out. I call them �Emergency Devices� because they emerge at times of stress.

In the Rodelization method, the male banana is very valuable. After growing your female plant 10-14 days longer than usual, hang them up to dry, then carefully take them off the drying lines and inspect for bananas. Each and every banana should be removed and placed in a small bag labeled very accurately. These sealed bags can be placed in the fridge for one to two months and still remain potent.

For the second phase you need to already have a crop that�s already 2 � weeks into flowering. Take your sealed bag of pollen out of the fridge, and proceed to impregnate your new crop of females. To do this, you must first match the female plant and the pollen from the same strain in the previous crop. Shut down all the fans in the grow room. Then take a very fine paint brush, dip it in the bag of pollen, and paint it on the female flower. Do this to each different strain you have growing together. I have done it with ten different kinds in the same room with great success.

I use the lower flowers to make seeds, leaving the top colas seedless for smoking. This method takes time(two crops), but is completely organic and lets you have great quality smoke at the same time you make your female seeds. If you�re one of those growers that has never grown seeds for fear of not having something good to smoke, you will love this method.

You can also use this pollen to make new female crosses by cross pollinating. The older females with the bananas can be brought into the room with the younger, un-pollinated females when they are three weeks into flowering. Turn all of the circulation fans on high, and the little bits of pollen will proceed to make it around the room. Do this for several days. Six to seven weeks later you will have ripe 100% female seeds; not nearly as many as a male plant would make, but enough to start over somewhere else with the same genetics.

As a farmer who has been forced to move his genetics far away from where they started, I know very well the value of seeds. My friend Adam from THSeeds in Amsterdam has a motto that I love to borrow these days: �Drop seeds not bombs�.

doggies nuts seeds Big Bad John auto flowering

You heard of the low rider well this is the high rider. This variety has been a long time coming and it definitively confirms that the times they are changing. Believe it or not this is a deciduous herbaceous perennial strain. For those of you who are not horticulturally aware this means that it has the ability to re-emerge in the springtime after it has died back in the previous winter. Yes you have it. this plant can hibernate over winter in the ground or planted in a pot, will sprout life and re-emerge in the spring, this little, or should we say big beauty, will auto flower once it is established - if left to be, it will set seeds, then these seeds will grow and then these plants will do the same thing so on and so forth and to infinitum! For those of you that have still not seen the light, this means that it can grow wild and if left unchecked will colonise the areas where it has been planted in. in one season it can produce 3-4 generations of offspring and as each generation matures they will do the same thing. In plain English, this variety can grow wild and if left will to its own devises will come back with a vengeance every season there after. This strain has similar genetic characteristics as the Long John Silver (auto flowering) variety. however Big Bad John is more productive both in yield and active ingredients compared to its more mellow younger brother. Other seed banks have tried to buy the entire supply from us to stop these seeds hitting the market, for fear of what this would do to the seed industry. But these seeds are more important than mere money. let these seeds go forth and prosper and re take what is rightfully theirs.

This is the perfect blend of two West Coast flavors. The blueberry male from Oregon was used for his taste and vigor in combination with the fuely, lemon taste of the OG Kush from LA. The Kushberry is a shorter, stalkier plant which produces a decent yield. The exotic flavor doesn't rival its strength; she is one of our strongest strains. She is berry good for medical use as she relieves pain and helps with sleep and eating disorders.
