1. Germinate: At this stage, cannabis seeds awaken from dormancy, sprouting into seedlings. Soak them in water until they crack open, then plant in a growth medium.
2. Seedling: Young cannabis plants require warmth, humidity, and gentle light. Water them sparingly to prevent root rot and create optimal growth conditions.
3. Vegetative: In this phase, the plants experience rapid leaf, stem, and branch growth. They need ample light, pruning, and nutrient-rich soil for healthy development.
4. Flowering: As the plants mature, they transition to the flowering stage, where buds develop. Adjust lighting schedules to mimic shorter daylight hours, typically 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.
5. Harvest: Finally, when the buds have reached their peak potency and maturity, it’s time for harvest. Carefully trim and cure the buds to maximize their quality and flavor
Sometimes, seeds don’t sprout immediately during germination. If this happens, be patient and give them a bit more time. Ensure they remain in a warm, humid environment with gentle light, and maintain proper moisture levels. Remember, each seed is unique, and some may take longer to start their journey. If a seed still doesn’t germinate after an extended period, consider it a part of the natural selection process and move forward with the thriving ones.
