ThePurpleAlchemist I did a combination of a lot of germination methods. I don't take credit for this method, I got it from cocoforcanabis dot com. First I shake the seed in a container lined with sandpaper to rough up the outside of the seed, you don't want to do this too much. Then I soak the seed in water for 3-6 hours and then I transfer it to a wet paper towel in a zip lock bag on top of a heating pad. Using this method, I usually always have a taproot within 24-36 hours. Once I get a taproot, I transfer it to a jiffy pellet and then to a pot.
I did a cool lil time lapse of the seed sprouting.
