Starting my cannabis seeds and my future plans for growing
It feels really good having the opportunity to start cannabis seeds again, the last time was over 12 years ago. But finally I can grow without concern as my new home legalized and allows home grow of cannabis plants. Where I live you cannot get clones unless you know a friend, which I do not have many yet just moving here.
But I was lucky enough to receive some seeds to start growing my own new plants. Now it is unknown if they will be males and how many, but with around a 50/50 rate I think I should get a few females. Which is what you need to have the buds. Eventually when I find a strain I really like I will clone them and probably keep a mother plant.
I kept the seeds in a dry napkin until they were ready for use. Now they will go on a wet napkin and then placed in a ziploc bag. Hopefully in a few days they will sprout.
Trying to keep the seeds from touching was harder than I remembered. Every time I put them in the bag they would all stick together..lol so this was my only nice images of them neatly out on the napkins. Once in the bag I did my best to move them from touching each other. Worried if they do they may not germinate and just grow fungus.
Not sure if I should be changing the napkin every day, so far it has been 24 hours and I have yet to see any growth. I figure it may take a few days to see any sprouts. Once they do they will go in cell containers until large enough to go in 7 gallon pots.
My sprouting setup is simple, just two tube lamps and a humidity top for the cell containers.
Using these types of light hangers makes adjustment very easy. I prefer using them over the chain link and s-hook method.
As my little plants grow they will eventually go into their grow tents and that is when the action should really start. Above is my Amazon order with my gear, cost me a little over $600
In previous grows I have used Foxfarm and I really like it, so I plan on using that again. I think its bat guano, and my plants did really well with it so I think its worth a use again.
When I used to grow back in California my setup was more basic, I grow in a closet with tin foil on the walls and used a 600w MH light. So this time around I hope to do even better with proper reflective walls using a grow tent and a very powerful metal halide lamp and ballast.
So in a few days my grow gear should be arriving, looking forward to getting it all set up. And soon enough, maybe a few weeks they can move into the large tents. Really excited for what comes next, will post more updates as they happen.
Let me know if something I ordered is not good or I could do better along the way as I make these posts. I hope those lights do good, no experience with the brand but hopefully all should go well. So lots of new things to work with.
@solominer Alla you can do that, germinate marijuana seeds in 3 simple steps, here in Venezuela we can't even see them, because we go to prison, unless a very specialized doctor recommends it for some illness. According to are very useful for swelling and inflammatory problems. Here is a prohibitive cultivation and consumption. Excellent post. Successes
That is quite unfortunate, where I used to live in Georgia it was very strict as well.
Thanks for the good wishes
I hope you get over everything dear @solominer and that everything is for the best. I wish you much success from Venezuela.
Using the sand napkin will be fine. What I like to do is get two of the same plates, and put the moist paper towels on the plate, and setting the other plate on top. This ensures proper darkness, and even allows for little air flow. Good luck, and don’t worry. If these don’t pop we will take care of you :)
Oh sweet okay.. I will keep that technique in mind.
And thanks for having me covered, will let you know if these end up being duds.

Can’t wait to see what you do with this grow. If you have any problems when germinating, I have been having a 100% success rate by just soaking the seeds for about 24-36hrs and once they popped open, I place them directly into soil that has been soaked all the way through. Then I just wait 2-3 days and they have sprouted up. I tried the paper towel method and it didn’t always work for me.
Thanks man me too.. I'm checking on them every day. I just replaced the napkin today as it started forming little red dots.. probably fungus. I'll give them another 48 hours and try your technique and maybe the paper plate method as well.
Good to know there are a bunch of ways to sprout them.. as this was the only way I knew only yall told me.

Soaking the seeds would have worked but I hope this works too. If not then like @canna-curate said, we are here to take care 💚
Good to have to you in here.
Oh sweet okay.. good to know.
Sounds like most people soak them.
Thanks bud
💚
Awww yeahhh this is the start, I wanna see you grow fields of these.
Yeah bud, it's been so long in the making in my head. But finally it can come to life.
I am all about soaking them for 12-24 hours, doing the paper towel, and waiting about 3 days to see some action. How are they coming along today?
Oh nice.. okay will keep that in mind.
I checked on them about an hour ago.. the seeds look swollen like they have uptaken some water but I do not see any sprouts just yet.
Had to replace the napkin and bag with a fresh one as mold or fungi was starting to move in.
I think I will give them another 48 hours.
Did you get any movement on those swollen seeds? A show of mold worried me a little.
Hope they are still progressing.
Yep, those swollen seeds popped open in the last 15 hours or so.. Now I have them in the soil.
I was working on smoke.io first. It seemed to work on these platforms but suddenly this site can no longer be found. I enjoyed your post, thanks. I want to talk to you. My Discord Channel - ইলিয়াস - Real Sort#3761
Oh man I remember smoke io.. I guess it's no more?
Thanks and glad you liked my post
Growing anything from the seeds is just so exciting and fun :) Good luck with these!
