Germinating Your Cannabis Seeds: The Soil Technique

Germinating cannabis seeds

how to germinate cannabis seedsMany people wrongly believe that to germinate cannabis seeds in soil is not a valid technique. However, if one intends to continue using soil as a medium, there is no reason for germinating in soil to be unsuitable, and there are various reasons which make it very suitable indeed.

The advantages of this method are numerous. Firstly, there is far less risk of damaging the fragile tap-root and the many tiny hairs that cover its surface. Secondly, the phenomenon known as gravitropism can begin at once, which is impossible when germinating on a saucer or in a glass.

Gravitropism is the response to gravity shared by all higher plants, which causes the roots to grow downwards and the stems to grow up.

Some growers that use this technique will soak the cannabis seeds for 12 hours in room-temperature water prior to planting them in the soil; this softens and hydrates the outer husk, allowing for more rapid germination.

Many growers also sterilise the soil prior to planting the seeds: this can be achieved by heating the soil to 200°C in an oven or microwave for around 20 minutes (2 minutes in a microwave on full power). This step will ensure that no fungal spores or other potentially-harmful micro-organisms are present to threaten the health of the fragile seedling.

The sterilised soil must then be thoroughly moistened, preferably with distilled water, and placed into small pots (preferably no larger than 5cm deep), one pot per seed. Create a small hole around 2cm deep for the seed to rest.

Once the soil and the cannabis seeds are prepared and ready, simply place the seeds into the hole you have created in the soil, and gently cover it over with a small amount of soil. Keep the pots in a warm place, preferably one that is not too dry so that the soil does not dry out too quickly. It is fine to leave the seeds in darkness until shoots emerge from the soil, at which point placing the pots under a grow light is advisable.

1. A variety that I recommend for culturing your seeds in soil is Big Bud with regular big (because of the Indica genes) cannabis seeds. The plants are easy to grow and have given some good results.

Paradise Seeds – delivering quaility cannabis strains

paradise seedsBack in the eighties the propagation of high grade marijuana species for growing indoors and outside in various climates as well as specific strains bred for their medicinal effects was still in its infancy. That soon all changed when the man behind Paradise Seeds got motivated.

After many of years of cultivating and experimenting with many varieties of marijuana strains, Paradise Seeds was established  in early nineties.

Paradise Seeds vision was to introduce better weed strains into the  coffeeshop scene taking into account the fact that a good deal of what was imported at that time was of poor grade. Paradise Seeds undertook all the early research for high grade marijuana types in Holland. The intention was to make available better marijuana strains and better pot with great taste and stronger high.

A variety of new and exciting strains were created and the marijuana seeds were cultivated resulting in sound strains. Consequently, Paradise Seeds marijuana acquired a reputation for several of the best marijuana anywhere. The cannabis seeds were distributed throughout the planet to be reared for personal use and came back into the Amsterdam coffeeshop circuit.

Demand for these marijuana seeds enlarged and as a consequence Paradise Seeds was established to meet that market. By 1999 Paradise Seeds was accepted as a world leader in producing the best marijuana geno-types. During the last decade Paradise Seeds have been awarded more cups and awards than any other marijuana seed bank.

Paradise Seeds keeps the purity and attributes of its marijuana seeds inventory with great diligence. Continued observation and testing results in the continuance of some of the sweetest, strongest, predictable and hardy marijuana geno-types that can be purchased.

The seeds are cultivated naturally and persistently checked for strength ensuring that the grower of any strain of Paradise Seeds is using a high-quality seed that results in great marijuana. Each Paradise Seeds bundle containing ten marijuana seeds comes with the information you require to ensure successful marijuana gardens.

Are Serious Seeds really serious?

serious seedsSerious Seeds was started by a student who was involved in biology in Amsterdam University and then moved on to experiment in marijuana genetics.

In the mission to make available marijuana top strains, he has brought together marijuana strains in every corner of the planet and mixed them with super strains being produced in Amsterdam.

His skill and expertise caused a stir and the famous and long standing marijuana seed-bank, asked Simon to work for them. After a number of years of assisting Sensi Seeds in developing their marijuana seeds bank, he moved on to establish the top level marijuana seeds bank called Serious Seeds.

Serious Seeds quickly established a name for itself achieving Cannabis Cup awards for the now famous top varieties AK47 and Chronic.

The varieties quickly attracted increasing interest in Dutch coffee-shop circles. Varieties like White Russian and Kali Mist became famous attracting very worthy awards for Serious Seeds.

Unlike many other marijuana seed-banks, Serious Seeds do not breed countless breeds developing an ever expanding and bewildering array of breeds to choose from. They maintain and continue to improve a select group of marijuana seed varieties that are known to delight even the most exacting marijuana connoisseur.

People who use and harvest cannabis from seeds produced by Serious Seeds are aware that they’re working with high quality breeds that last the test of time – not getting led down the road of inferior quality fads.

Cheese cannabis

Leave a comment

Cheese weedA well-known genotype which originated in the British Isles, the origins of Cheese marijuana is straightforward and for many legitimate reasons, its genetics are acknowledged throughout the British Isles.

For countless tokers in the British Isles, a significant measure for judging if a strain of marijuana seeds is worthy is its comparison with Cheese cannabis seeds.

How come? Its strong, persistent and Indica-like qualities of Cheese cannabis strain is like a real cheese.

Undoubtedly there is far more than aroma to Cheese cannabis. The abundance of crystals which cover the flowers of this aromatic strain is thick.

Cheese produces a well-balanced high with a physical and cerebral mixture. Therefore, Cheese cannabis strain packs a sizable degree of CBD which mellows the level of THC found in the harvest.

With an 8 week flowering period and large heavy yields, Cheese marijuana is considered among the inner circle by all the coffee shops in Holland and has been awarded the High Times Cannabis Cup.

It all jives with the high esteem and widespread fame that Cheese cannabis strain has obtained.

The shape of Cheese cannabis is expansive, with lengthy foliage and slim stems, a heirloom from its Skunk #1 influence, also the flowers it grows remain dense and numerous.

Fate decreed Cheese cannabis to be first cultivated within the safety measures of a toker’s group in the UK, an organised commoner’s rights project named Exodus.

In the 1990s, Cheese cannabis strain became a centre for marijuana growing activities which was somewhat tolerated by local authorities and which ended up in a variety which is now regarded as the best in the British Isles.

Cheese cannabis could be considered a commercial grower’s genotype including Cheese varieties like Big Buddha Cheese, Confidential Cheese, LA Cheese, Exodus Cheese, Rockster’s Cheese also sharing characteristics with Skunk#1 and Power Plant, since these varieties, together with Cheese cannabis strain, are large harvest varieties, quick and compact.

However, what is essential is that this strain pleases all that has the foresight to check it out because of its mild taste, sufficient effects and the overarching good mood it delivers.
