Basically heres what he told me, get the seed and put it in a dark damp place so the roots can grow, then put it into a pot leave it near a window seel behind a netting (so people cant see in) and basically just water it once a day and when it gets bigger u water it more i just though WTF u cant be serious

would this even work?
Your mate is actually correct. If you put the seed in a dark spot and submurge it in warm water it will start to sprout a little and thats when you plant it and expose it to sunlight and periodically water it. From there, of course it gets more complicated as time goes on, but those are the basics.

Marijuana grows very rapidly and very easily. I remember even someone on these forums made a thread how a plant started growing in an old smoke spot where the guy must have been breaking up weed, and tossed a seed they came across on the ground.
