In the picture above we can see two ways of growing our Marijuana plants. Starting from a seed or growing a clone. Each way has its advantages and disadvantage. You can find more info HERE. From my experience clones grow faster but seeds grow healthier and yield more. I recommend you try both methods for yourself.
Marijuana Seed Germination Methods
Don't expect to see a lot of growth during the first week while your seed is germinating.
1st Month
GERMINATION TECHNIQUES
We will only cover two different techniques commonly used to germinate cannabis seeds.
THE WET PAPER TOWEL METHOD
Carefully place your cannabis or hemp seeds between wet paper towels and place them in a air tight plastic container. Aim for high humidity levels inside the container, temperatures between 20-25 °C, and moist, but not overly wet paper towels. Check moisture and humidity levels regularly. Don’t completely close the container and allow some air exchange. This happens at a dark place.
GERMINATING SEEDS IN WATER
Simply drop your seeds into a glass of drinking water and wait 24-48 hours until seeds have cracked. Wait until you see the first few millimeters of the root, and make sure water temperatures are between 20-25 °C. Place your cup somewhere light doesn’t reach it.

2nd Month
This is growing schedule for people who are growing in soil that was already fertilized when purchased. If you are at the very beginning stages(germination), then you should start with this growing schedule after day 14 of your germination phase.
It’s a good idea to read through the entire schedule so that you can see what to expect in the future weeks to come. If you are growing in a medium other than soil, check out our other grow schedule about Growing in Hydro

Time 2 Cure
After cutting down your marijuana plants, a proper dry and cure are crucial. These help retain terpenes and cannabinoids, preserving and accentuating the flavors of weed, diminishing chlorophyll, and getting rid of excess moisture .
Proper curing time is crucial. Too quick and the outsides of buds will appear dry but the insides won’t be. Too long and buds could develop mold.
The drying and curing processes are similar but with a subtle difference. Drying happens before or after trimming and occurs when the initial amount of moisture comes out of buds. This can happen after you cut down the plant in drying trimming, or after you trim the buds in wet trimming, when buds are in a drying room or on a drying rack.
Curing happens after this initial removal of moisture and after buds have been trimmed. It involves storing finished buds in containers to stop the loss of moisture and to preserve flavors and aromas. More on curing below.
Keep harvested weed in a dark room with temperatures between 60-70°F and humidity between 55-65%. A cheap hygrometer will help you monitor these numbers.
Add a small fan to circulate air, and you may need to add a dehumidifier or AC as well. If it’s taking too long to dry buds in your space, you may need to adjust the temperature or humidity to help along the drying process.

When dry trimming cannabis, you can hang harvested plants upside down on a line or hanger—it prevents buds from getting flattened or misshapen as they dry. Also, keep buds connected to branches to help create an even, slow dry.
If dry trimming, check your drying branches after they’ve been hanging for 3 days. A good test is to bend a branch with buds—if the stem snaps, that means buds are dry and ready for trimming.
If they don’t snap, leave them and check the next day. Drying usually takes 3-7 days, but could take longer.
How to dry buds without hanging
When trimming wet, you’ll need a flat rack—you’ll have lots of trimmed individual buds, so you can’t hang them. Flat racks are circular with layers of mesh, and are great for airflow.
Check wet-trimmed buds drying in the flat rack after 2-3 days by giving them a little squish. If they’re still too wet, leave them and check again the next day.
