Planting From Seed

Planting marijuana from seed is similar to planting other garden seeds; it will take time to see even the first sign of the plant, usually at least 7 to 14 days. Many people who plant indoor cannabis gardens do not attempt direct planting, as it is easier to plant the seed when it is already germinated. The germinating of the seeds is not difficult and ensures that the seed will stand a better chance once it is planted in soil.

When planting the cannabis seed the soil should be a sterilized prepared soil, one that has been purchased from the garden store, nursery, hardware store or else where. Soil from the yard should not be used and if it must be used then it will need to be sterilized by baking it in a low temperature oven for approximately a couple of hours. This is to kill any disease germs in the soil and also any bugs or bug eggs that are dormant in the soil.

The soil is extremely important and just as important as the soil is the things that should be added to the soil, such as pearlite or sponge rock to lighten the soil and help it drain better. Then there should also be an amount of sand added to the soil; this will make the soil easier for the roots of the cannabis seed grab on better, making a sturdier stem. It will also allow the soil to hold the right amount of moisture without being wet.
