If you want to start your crop in an optimal way, buy quality seeds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IMPROPER_STORAGE\"><\/span>IMPROPER STORAGE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Seeds are living organisms<\/strong>, just like food, they <strong>must be stored and preserved properly,<\/strong> since if they are not stored properly they have the possibility of degrading or they will not germinate.<\/p>\n<p>To maintain the seeds in an optimal area you must: <strong>keep them out of the light in a dry place and where there are no extreme temperatures<\/strong>. The ideal place to store them is usually a dark closet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HANDLING_SEEDS_DIRECTLY_WITH_YOUR_HANDS\"><\/span>HANDLING SEEDS DIRECTLY WITH YOUR HANDS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For the germination of cannabis, it is advisable not to place the seeds in the hole with your hands, as you can contaminate them with all kinds of pathogens, fungi and bacteria. Unfortunately,<strong> seeds and seedlings are especially vulnerable to these damaging pathogens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To prevent your seed from sprouting, <strong>avoid touching it too much with your hands<\/strong>. We recommend the use of clean gloves and disinfected tweezers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEEDS_BURIED_TOO_MUCH_OR_TOO_SHORT\"><\/span>SEEDS BURIED TOO MUCH OR TOO SHORT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the time of sowing, we must put the seed to a <strong>depth of 0.5-1 cm<\/strong>, covering them lightly with soil. It should <strong>not be buried too deep<\/strong>, since if they are buried too deep they will not be able to access enough oxygen and the humidity of the earth could cause them to rot.<\/p>\n<p>If the opposite is the case, buried too close to the surface, they may dry out before germinating, or the seed will sprout but not be able to shed its husk.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DO_NOT_USE_NEW_OR_STERILIZED_SOIL_AND_POTS\"><\/span>DO NOT USE NEW OR STERILIZED SOIL AND POTS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the main factors that prevent seed germination is fungi. <strong>Old, reused soil that has not been sterilized may contain mold and other harmful organisms, such as bacteria and insects.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If this is the case, your marijuana seeds could sprout and die over time or not sprout at all. Your plants may twist and turn brown due to \u00abfungal wilt.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should we do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The solution is to <strong>sow the marijuana seeds only in sterilized soil mixtures<\/strong>, since they will not have these harmful microorganisms. You should also make sure the pot is clean, because they can contain mold or other pathogens.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TOO_MUCH_MOISTURE\"><\/span>TOO MUCH MOISTURE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If the soil is not good, the <strong>substrate does not drain well<\/strong>, warm <strong>water could accumulate and prevent the seed from acquiring oxygen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Perlite is ideal for improving the drainage of your plant<\/strong>. Also, if you use a pot with holes in the bottom, it helps your plant&#8217;s drainage process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LACK_OF_HUMIDITY\"><\/span>LACK OF HUMIDITY<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As we have said in the previous point, excess moisture is harmful, as is lack of moisture. <strong>Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DROWN_MARIJUANA_SEEDS\"><\/span>DROWN MARIJUANA SEEDS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is not a recommended method to germinate your seeds in a glass of warm water. It can be done, but there is a risk that the seed shells will drown if they spend too much time under water.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid this problem, you can germinate your <strong>seeds directly in the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LET_THE_SEEDS_GERMINATE_FOR_A_LONG_TIME\"><\/span>LET THE SEEDS GERMINATE FOR A LONG TIME<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As they germinate longer, they are exposed to light and air and may be damaged.<\/p>\n<p>We must not let the primary root grow too much, because when <strong>transplanting it there may be an accident.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>the longer the primary root, the greater the risk of accident during transplantation<\/strong>. You have to pay attention and transplant it when the primary root is 1-2cm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11312\" src=\"https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana.jpg\" alt=\"germinate-marijuana\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/vegetalbioplant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/germinate-marijuana-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"POOR_QUALITY_WATER\"><\/span>POOR QUALITY WATER<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tap water is good for adult plants, but be careful with seeds and small plants.
