Germinating Cannabis seeds in paper tissue

Within a few days the seeds should have absorbed enough water and germinated.

Carefully check the seeds by lifting the top of the tissue, if they have not germinated return the tissue and keep them moist.

Every plant should be individually labelled, especially when growing multiple strains.

You can plant your plants a little bit deeper when they stretch during their seedling stage.

Germinating Cannabis seeds in paper tissue is perhaps the most popular and successful technique there is, mainly to do with the high level of control you have throughout the process.

You will not believe how easy this actually is.

Take two normal dinner plates, one will be used to place the seeds on and the other as a lid.

Place two to four sheets of paper kitchen towel on the first plate.

Now pour up to about a third of a cup of water (regular tap water at room temperature) over the sheets of paper untill they are soaked.

Place your seeds on the wet paper towels, keep about one inch of space between them.

Now cover them with the same amount of paper towels and again carefully pour some water over those sheets until they are soaking wet.

it is important not to have too much water on the plate, you want the paper soaking wet but not drowning under a layer of water.

When the water is added you can place the second plate up-side down over it to close it.

As all germination techniques, you need to maintain a reasonable temperature of around 21 degrees celcius (room temperature) to stimulate optimum germination chances.

Lift the top plate every 12-24 hours to check humidity, and add a little bit of water over the paper towels.

As soon as your seeds have sprouted you can transplant them to a pot and start the pre-vegetative cycle.

Transplanting a Cannabis seed or seedling must be done very carefully, at this stage you can easily damage the taproot of your little baby.

Before you can transplant your seedling you need to prepare your pots and label them.

Make sure every plant/pot is individually labeled, this will create a much more organized workflow and prevent mix-up's.

I like to use 10 cm wide, square pots for my seedlings, you could use a smaller pot but I would not recommend a larger pot.

You should always use a bottom tray or propagator to place the pots in, these will catch and hold the excess water from your pots.

Fill the pots to about half their height with seedling soil and compress it slightly with your hand, now gently add some water without disturbing the top of the soil.

When the soil is wet you can (carefully) take the seedling from the paper tissue and place it on the top of the soil.

Now you need to cover the seedling with a layer of soil, about 3 to 5 millimeters deep and gently moisten the soil with water, you should do this with a plant sprayer to prevent the top layer of soil from moving.

you should read up on the pre-vegetative cycle to find out what to do next.

To transplant the seeds from the paper to their pots you need to be extra careful, ometimes the taproot will have grown through the paper towel and the seed could be damaged when you pull it out.

The best way is to cut the paper towel around a seed with sharp scissors, and place the seed along with the little bit of paper towel on the soil in the pot.

This way you have not touched the seed during transplant and the paper towel will eventually dissolve in the soil.
