I plant the seeds right into little planter filled with peatmoss, nutramix hp. I dont germinate, I let nature take its coarse. Pointy end up about 1/4 inch down. Sprouts in 4 to 5 days and you dont have to man handle a new born baby transplanting from a paper towel to her first home. If you decide to go soiless which I recommend you could follow my diary, their complete with feed amounts and runoff values. Cheers friend

Go watch "Hemp in a pot" and "weed in a pot" think he might be one of the best on YouTube, also a podcast called the side grows show, great people and info

Hey Growmie, The first step of this process is germination, the most common and simplest method involves the use of paper towels saturated in water. For this method you will need: Two clean plates Paper towels Seeds Step 1: Take four sheets of paper towels and soak them with distilled water. The sheets should be soaked but shouldn’t have excess water running off. Step 2: Take two of the paper towels and place them on a plate. Then, place the cannabis seeds at least an inch apart from each other and cover them with the remaining two sheets of water-soaked paper towels. Step 3: To create a dark, protected space, take another plate and flip it over to cover the seeds (like a dome). Step 4: Make sure the area they’re kept in is warm, somewhere between 70-90°F. After these steps have been completed, it’s time to wait. You can check the paper towels to make sure they’re still saturated, and if they seem to be losing their moisture, you can apply more water to keep the seeds happy. Some seeds germinate very rapidly while others can take several days. You know a seed has germinated once the seed splits and a single sprout appears. This is the taproot, which will become the main stem of the plant, and seeing it is a sign of successful germination. It’s important to keep this area sterile, so don’t touch the seed or taproot as the seed begins to split. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
