Germinating cannabis seeds is the first step to starting your grow. There are a variety of methods for germinating seeds, and the right method for you will depend on your setup and personal preference. In this section, we'll cover the most common methods for germinating cannabis seeds.
Paper Towel Method
The paper towel method involves placing your seeds between two moist paper towels and placing them in a warm, dark place. After a few days, the seeds should sprout and develop a taproot. Once the taproot is visible, you can carefully plant the seed in your growing medium. Be sure to keep the growing medium moist and warm to encourage growth.
Direct Planting Method

The direct planting method involves placing your seeds directly in your growing medium, such as soil or hydroponic substrate. Make a small hole in the medium and place the seed about 1/2 inch deep. Cover the seed with a bit of soil or substrate and water lightly. Be sure to keep the growing medium moist and warm to encourage growth.

- Keep your growing medium moist and warm, but not too wet or too hot.
- Use a high-quality growing medium to ensure healthy growth.
