Seed Prep.

[Joey]

Does anyone know if or how you have to prep. cannabis seeds before you plant them?

[king cola]

u dont have to do anything, unless germinating them in tissue or cotton wool counts as doin summit to them b4 planting them. i heard that some growers place the seeds in a glass of water for a few hours to get things goin faster, i have never done this and i dont really think it is necessary, but i wud advise germinating them in tissue before putting them in souil(if growing in soil) then u definatley know theyve germinated, and u dont have to go diggin around when u get worried they havent worked. like the old sayin curiosity killed the seed.

When I germinated seeds I like to put them in a good tough paper towel that won't break easily so i can go back time to time to see if the seed has sprouted

soak in water overnite then leave somewheremoist and warm and check every 12 hours until the seeds crack and a white thing come out (taproot) then plant with white thing pointing down in soil (bout 1/2-1/4" deep in soil) and leave for a day-week and u will soon have a young cannabis plant!

I really don't know why so many people handle their seeds at sprouting :eek: .... I just stick them about 1 inch down in a 4 inch pot to start them. I've enjoyed 100% successs so far....... Hard to belive with all you guys talking s@#$ about Nirvana Seeds, huh? :rolleyes:

[greenstick]

prep works best

[dumass]

Okay, you got me :p ..........I've got some bag seed I can sacrafice in the name of science so I'm going to see what all the fuss is about.........

[kingcanabis]

Hay dumass!!! how did the sacrafice go? Thot i would ask. [the king]

um i live in england and was wondering about my seeds i nicked em of a mate from his ten of nice bud and i have it in tissue paper but also how wet should the tissue be and also some other things like i dont know about the whole no soil no nuting thingy puting it in a moist warm place

i left my seeds in glass of water for about 24 hours. i waited till i saw the shell start to crack before i moved them into soil. that way you know you have a growing plant in each pot. i used botteled water because it was what i had nearme when needed water : ) good growing

pointing down in soil ?

uh so u know
it knows which way to grow.
it will go down on its own
no matter where you piont it
its a taproot,,its job is to start growing and it knows how genetically

Dumass, I have 90% germination with the paper towel method. I have never been able to do better with just planting. I would really like to hear the results of your sacrifice.

[Shadow Smoke]

yeah seed prep is always a good idea if for nouthing else so you KNOW that ever pot you have has a liveing seedling in it. that way you dont waste your time and money on a buckeyt of dirt.

[sugarmagnolia]

but then again ur not wasting any money by letting a pot wait there, except u gotta get a little water. And I defeated that old saying "curiosity killed the seed" because I dug up the seed and have a plant from it, so I say to querky english lines "I beat you!"

You do want to point the radicle down on germinated seeds. The less energy the seed must use to come out of the ground the better.
