OK, this is becoming a bit of a problem habit. Every week or so I go and get some new marijuana seeds from the Vancouver Seed Bank. This time I picked up a variety that they recommended last time, but which was unfortunately out of stock. It’s another auto-flowering strain. It’s developed by Solar Warrior [...]

Spring must be here because I’m in germination mode. A friend of mine had a bag of moldy, wet, bunky weed that he’d left in his hockey bag. It was the left over of another friend’s crop from last winter – he’d paid off some of his hockey dues with dope. The funny thing was [...]

A few of the recently planted marijuana seeds are popping out of the ground: It looks as if this seed was just laying on the top of the Jiffy Pellet before it stuck a root into the peat. That’s not the case. I always worry about putting the seeds too deep, but I always put [...]

It’s been close to three days but the Dutch Treat x Hash Plant marijuana seeds all germinated today. That is to say, 9 out of 10 had little sprout tails and the tenth might just have been slow. He/she went into the dirt anyway. You can see how nice and fat the shoots look. I [...]

Jiffy pellets are a great planting medium for newly germinated marijuana plants. They are compressed discs of peat wrapped in a fine net covering. They are an excellent tool for growing marijuana. You soak the jiffy pellets in PH balanced (6.5-7.0) water for a half hour or so and they expand. Remove the excess water [...]

I mentioned that I have a bunch of old seeds. They’re probably 5 years old (time flies when you’re having fun). Anyway, I’ve decided to start them going. Step one in the germination process that I prefer is to boil a jar and lid to completely disinfect them. Let them boil a bit, then remove [...]

Germinating marijuana seeds is where newbies first start running into confusion and trouble. Most seeds that we plant, for example in vegetable gardens, don’t require any extra work to help germination, and frankly the same is true of marijuana seeds.

This blog talks about different ways of growing marijuana. Growing marijuana may be illegal where you live, and if it is I don't recommend that you break the law. Also, don't do damage to other peoples' property while cultivating cannabis. Instead, if you're going to do it, cultivate something special that you can share with your friends and that you can be proud of.
(These seed companies do not pay me any commissions, but they're good people).
These things work great, and I use them all the time, but getting them from Amazon is more expensive than you might get them in the store (20 cents versus 12 cents). If you can't get them somewhere else, though, you can buy them here. I get a commission from Amazon.
