Medicinal weed, like building anything else, starts with a good foundation. The start of a good foundation begins with the SEED. So, search the genetics, chemistry, characteristics and medicinal properties you want to grow and you will find a seed strain to match.
Acquiring Seeds
Seed genetics is the single most important thing that determines how good your weed could be. It is important to buy seeds from reputable seed dealers, such as Sunny Cultivation (this site) or Mediweed Seed. Most reputable seed dealers will guarantee delivery and provide tracking.
Germinating Your Seed
Once you obtained appropriate genetics, the next most important thing is to grow your cannabis in the optimal environment. Environment includes, growing medium (Hydroponics v. Soil), lighting (HPS v. Metal Halide V. LED), fertilization, air temperature, humidity, and amount of CO2 content in the air. Indoor growers can control their environment. This is an advantage as compared to outdoor growers.
There are two principal ways to germinate weed seeds. The first way to germinate weed seeds is by using the paper towel method, explained here. The second method to germinate weed seeds is to use grow plugs.
Grow Plug Germination Method
If you use the grow plug method, follow these instructions.
- Get the plugs soaking wet. The grow plug will swell.
- Place the seed in the plug and put it in the dark, warm place to germinate. In a few days the sprout will appear.
- Place plug into growing preferred medium.
