Equipment You Will Need
To properly germinate your seeds from Rocket Seeds, collect the following items before starting. These tools help prevent cross-contamination while maximizing your potential success with germination.
- Glass cup
- Clean ceramic plate
- Bottled spring water
- Absorbent paper towels
- Seeds From Rocket Seeds (autoflowering, feminized, or regular seeds)
With your tools collected, you can now start germinating your seeds!
Prepare Your Seeds
Soak your Cannabis Seeds in room-temperature spring water in a glass cup for 14 to 18 hours. Be careful not to soak them for too long, or they may become waterlogged. You can use your fingers to ensure they are fully submerged, but it’s unnecessary. If the seeds start to crack, it’s time to move on to the next step.
Put Your Seeds in the Towel
Soak seeds in water for 14-18 hours, then place them on a damp paper towel on a ceramic plate. Keep the plate in a warm, dark, and open area, and moisten the paper towel. Do not use sealed containers, as they can harm germination. A white taproot should begin to grow in a few days. Once the taproot reaches 0.5-0.75 inches, you can proceed to the next step.
Time to plant Your Cannabis Seeds
Once the taproot is 0.5-0.75 inches long, it’s ready to be planted. Use plain soil for potting and the first three weeks of growth. Keep an eye on your plant’s development. Remember, the taproot is a baby seedling, so keep it strong and healthy. Avoid giving too many nutrients at this stage, as it may damage the seedling.
Common reasons for failure
- Using tap water or well water for germination.
- Seeds being under-soaked or over-soaked.
- Paper towels are too wet or too dry.
- Lack of adequate airflow due to seeds being placed in a closet or drawer.
