• Place to plant Or growing cannabis seeds must be of a proportional size. Convenient ventilation There is sufficient amount of light for photosynthesis.
• The surrounding area must have a good environment. Because of having a good environment Resulting in high cannabis yields and large quantities.
• If it is grown outdoors (Outdoor), it should be a place free from pests. If the planting location has no insects or pests It will have a positive effect on the cannabis plant having a beautiful appearance, with no scratches on the leaves or with no grazing on the flowers.
• If growing indoors (Indoor), check carefully whether there is access to water sources, nutrients, and control of temperature and humidity. Including the strength of the cannabis cultivation area.

Including being able to control environmental conditions to be suitable for the growth of cannabis plants. whether controlling humidity, minerals, light intensity and the number of hours of light

Easy way to grow cannabis seeds Guaranteed roots will grow for sure.

The process of growing cannabis from seeds begins with growing cannabis seeds. which has the following steps

Soak cannabis seeds in water overnight.

Soaking cannabis seeds in water overnight stimulates the seeds. and softens the shell of the cannabis seed. To increase the chances of root germination and helps save time than putting the seeds directly into the ground

Materials used for soaking cannabis seeds in water overnight

• glass
• seed
• clean water

How to soak cannabis seeds in water overnight

• The first step: Put an amount of water into a glass of water that is the right size or enough to soak the seeds. 
• Second, place the seeds in a glass of water to provide moisture and help the roots grow quickly. Cannabis seeds that are able to grow should be submerged. However, if the seeds do not submerge after 1-2 hours, remove them as they are most likely to be atrophied seeds.   
• Third step Find a lid to cover the glass of water completely or a cloth. To prevent insects and foreign objects from falling into the water.
• final step Put the glass of water in a dark place. The temperature is normal and stored for a period of 1 night.

Soaking cannabis seeds in water overnight will not only help the seeds grow roots easily but also help them grow. It is also a way to weed out seeds that are not of good quality. After 1 night, it is time to enter the next step. 

Take cannabis seeds and grow them in tissue.

To grow cannabis seeds in tissue, you need simple materials, equipment, and methods as follows.

Materials and equipment used for growing cannabis seeds

• seed
• clean water
• Opaque box or vacuum box
• tissue

How to grow cannabis seeds on tissue

• First step: Take two to three tissues and place them on a container such as a lunchbox, opaque box, plate or tray. 
• Step two: Sprinkle water to moisturize the tissue. Then take the seeds that have been soaked in water and place them on a tissue.
• Step Three: Take a new piece of tissue and cover it with seeds.
• Step four: Sprinkle enough water again on the tissue paper. which must not be too wet
• Step Five: Close the lid completely in order to prevent insects or foreign objects.
• The final step: Take the container that holds the cannabis seeds. Put it in a dark place and wait about 2-3 days to observe root growth.

 After planting cannabis seeds for about 2-3 days, have the grower observe and see if the cannabis seeds have grown roots or not. If roots start to grow, continue taking care of them by sprinkling water on them to keep the tissues moist. Until the roots grow about 1 cm or the roots begin to grow hairs around them. It means that the seedling is ready to enter the next step.

Put the young plant into a pot

Putting young plants into pots Or after planting cannabis seeds and the seeds begin to grow roots about 1 cm., you can start transplanting the seedlings into pots to enter the seedling nursery stage next.

Materials and equipment for potting

• The seeds of the cannabis plant have roots that grow to about 1 cm.
• Plant pots measuring 6-8 inches, which pots directly affect the growth of cannabis plants. If we use a pot that is too small, it will cause the young plant to not grow fully. Makes you have to move the pot often. Each time moving the pot there is a risk that we will damage the cannabis plant, especially during nursery seedlings where cannabis plants are especially fragile. Therefore, we should choose a pot size that is appropriate for each stage of the cannabis plant's life.
• Potting soil with a mixture of peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite.
• Animal manure or vermicompost

The methods and steps for putting young plants into pots are:

• The first step is to prepare soil for planting by mixing peat moss and vermiculite. and perlite in the desired ratio Most use a ratio of 80%, 10%, 10% respectively.
• Second step Carefully remove the rooted cannabis seeds from the tissue with your hands. Do not let the roots separate from the seeds.
• Third step Poke your finger into the soil to make a hole about 1-1.5 inches deep, then place the cannabis seeds into the hole. Then lightly cover the soil. Do not press or cover the soil too harshly. Because it will make the soil dense, resulting in the roots being unable to grow.
• Fourth step Water until the soil is moist enough. Shouldn't be watered until it's too wet or too wet. Because it may cause the roots to rot.
• After about 5-7 days, notice if there are any stems and leaves sticking out above the soil. When the trunk and leaves emerge Growers can continue to fertilize and care for them. The cannabis plant will enter the leaf-making stage next.

In the case that the grower wants to grow cannabis outdoors (Outdoor), when the seedlings have been growing for a while. Growers can bring seedlings grown in pots. Can be transplanted into planting plots. In order for the cannabis plants to grow to their full potential. and easy to care for and fertilize Or growers who want to grow indoors (Indoor) when the cannabis plant is larger than the pot. or the roots grow beyond the bottom of the pot, you should take steps to move the cannabis plant to a larger pot. So that the cannabis plants can grow to their full potential as well.

Planting a plot or moving pots

When the cannabis plant grows in size It is necessary to bring it into the planting plot in case of outdoor planting. Or move the pot in the case of indoor planting. To increase the potential for growth When bringing cannabis plants into a planting plot or transplanting pots, these things should be considered.

• The cannabis plant must be healthy and of the right height.
• The cannabis plant is starting to grow larger than the pot. Or the roots grow out of the bottom of the pot. It can be put into a planting plot or transplanted into a pot.
• The roots of the cannabis plant must have a sufficient amount of root fibers. If there are a small number of fibrous roots This will cause the stems to easily wither and lead to the loss of cannabis plants.
• When the cannabis plant begins to have 4-5 pairs of true leaves, it should be transplanted into a planting plot. Or you can move the pot.

Growers must regularly monitor the size of their cannabis plants. In order to be able to put it in the planting plot or move the pot at the correct time. And appropriate according to the season will allow the cannabis plants to grow fully. In a wide planting area or a suitable pot
