The Basic Cultivation Process
 of Cannabis Seeds

(10/18) Growing marijuana is quite simple once you understand the basic cultivation process of cannabis. Before you choose a sativa seed bank and purchase your target strain, it is wise to learn the basics of seed germination, Embryo, Cotyledon, and Growth spurt. If you're just beginning, read this article to learn more. This article will also give you tips to speed up the growth process. It will help you avoid costly mistakes and boost your yields.

Embryo

Cannabis seed production can be accomplished in several ways, including germination, in vitro propagation, or tissue culture. Tissue culture is a robust method for producing virus-free clones. To create synthetic seeds, you will need a seed with a small apical meristem, leaf primordia, and an apical dome. Each meristem cell is 0.1 to 0.5 mm long and can regenerate into a plant via a process called shoot organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis.

Cotyledon

Cotyledon is a major component of the marijuana plant. Unlike its leafy cousin, cotyledons do not have serrated edges, which means that they don't require nutrients during germination. During the first few days, the cannabis seed does not require any nutrients other than water. Meanwhile, the tap root emerges from the seed and extends downward. As a result, the cotyledon is not a problem during the initial stages of growing the cannabis plant.

Growth spurt

After choosing the best strains, cultivating cannabis plants using seeds is one of the most basic methods of marijuana growing. Seeds are similar to eggshells, containing an embryo, radicle, plumule, and cotyledons. The seeds protect the embryos while ensuring that the plants will grow successfully. Only female plants produce marijuana flowers. The male plants, on the other hand, produce THC-rich buds.

Growth slow

The basic cultivation process of high THC cannabis seeds involves growing them in an indoor grow room. The plants begin to grow in a couple of weeks after they are seeded. During this time, they form their roots and begin to develop. Growing cannabis using photoperiod seeds is possible at any time of year, though many growers prefer to wait until veg' has been completed before starting the plant's active growth stage to avoid cannabis nutrient burn.

Storage

A basic cultivation process for cannabis starts with the imbibition of water. Cannabis seeds have a tendency to float. A simple way to determine whether they have successfully imbibed water is to submerge them in water for six to twelve hours. If they stay floating, germination has not taken place and they need to be scarified. After six to twelve hours, they can be planted in the ground or transferred to a warm place.

Feminization

The feminization process of cannabis seeds makes them more likely to produce the desired yields. The plants produce higher levels of cannabinoids, specifically THC. While THC is the most well-known of these compounds, there are other cannabinoids, like CBD, that are equally powerful. High concentrations of these compounds translate into an intense therapeutic experience. While feminized cannabis seeds are not genetically modified, they could still be classified as GM.

Growing on cuttings

It's possible to grow high THC cannabis seeds on cuttings. The seeds must have a teardrop shape and be round and tapered at one end. If they're flat or misshapen, they may be faulty or may have a genetic flaw. Depending on their quality, they can produce subpar plants. This article will cover the basics of cannabis seed germination and grow.

Cloning

Cloning cannabis seeds requires a mother plant to be present in your area. The mother plant is usually around four weeks old and a few months old. The best time to start cloning cannabis seeds is during the vegetative stage, so that the cutting will have a good chance to develop roots. It is important to stop fertilization a week before cuttings, as a delayed fertilization may cause damage to the clone. You must also check the mother plant for signs of disease, pests, or fungus. You should also check the temperature and pH level of the soil before planting the cuttings.
