So, you want to know how to germinate marijuana seeds? We don’t blame you, this is arguably the most important step for having a successful grow.
If you don’t germinate your seeds correctly then, to put it simply, they won’t grow at all, let alone thrive. However, if you do germinate weed seeds correctly then you have taken the all-important first step in rearing successful and productive plants.
To successfully germinate cannabis seeds using the ‘paper towel’ method shown in this video, you will need:
Cannabis seeds
Water
Paper towels
A plate
Directions:
1. Pour 200 ml of purified water into the beaker. Then, add a drop of liquefied seaweed, and mix thoroughly.
2. Pour the seeds in the germination mix, and give it a little stir. Let it sit for 24 to 48 hours.
3. Prepare four (4) to six (6) sheets of plain paper towel. You need to create a bottom and top (cover) paper napkin folding; both made up of two (2) to three (3) sheets. Take the four corners in the middle, creating a two- to three-layered square fold.
4. Put one paper towel on the plate. The folded side with four triangles should be facing the plate.
5. Pour some of the water and seaweed mix on the paper towel to moisten it. Then, put the seeds on top.
6. Put the other paper towel on top as a cover. It will soak up all the extra water. Make sure there is no free-standing water under the plate.
7. Leave the plate and its contents in a warm, dark place.
8. Every 12 to 24 hours, check back to make sure the paper towels are still wet.
9. Once 48 hours have gone by, you should see beautiful little sprouts.
Now you have germinated seeds, it is time for you to plant them. I’ll show you the best way to do it in the next video.

Are the seeds your using from #Nukeheads ? Container looks like theirs 😂

When you put the seeds in the water do they have to go into a dark place over night.
Man I bought 6 seeds from beaver seeds so far only 2 popped open.. watch them both be male too 😐😭
Thanks for sharing your Tips, ✌
My seeds have never sprouted in 2 or 3 days. Always more like a week
Do you have too add sea weed ?
Mmm smells good 🙃
Thanks. Subbed!
100% Spot On, I use this method for my first time growing just recently germinated six seeds in all six seeds took wonderfully to this method!
I’m 74 years old a new to growing cannabis plants. I’ve been germinating my own vegetable seeds for more than 30 years. Many years ago I wondered about the best way to germinate seeds and then I realized it was relatively easy and cheap to do my own testing for finding the best method – using the same seed and comparing results using different mediums and methods (damp paper towel/baggies, customized and commercial germination mixes, soil less methods (peat pellets, fine vermiculite, coir, peat moss), high and low humidity environments, varying temperatures (thermostat-controlled heat mats), varying degrees of light – and probably a lot of other variables that I don’t remember.
What I concluded is that germinating vegetable seeds is quite easy and all the methods I tried worked reasonably well – of course as long as I followed moderate (indoor) temperatures and provided a consistently moist (not soaking) environment. For me, I use whatever method is convenient and easy for me.
I’m wondering … is germinating cannabis seeds significantly different from germinating vegetable seed?
I got my seeds to pop within 18-hours. They are doing great following this method.
I’m almost certain his name is Kyle Kushman
the paper towel method with ziploc bag how many paper towels do i need to put one feminized photoperiod marijuana seed? And i was told to blow exhale air into the ziploc bag to keep the humidity up and to spray so it never goes dry. How long should i keep it in a small glass with distilled water before dumping the seed out into a paper towel with a ziplock bagj And once in the zip lock bag how often should i check my seed/seeds? And how long should they take to germinate into seedlings?
If you want to germinate, should you leave it in the liquid longer or on the paper towel longer?
After the paper towel germination method my tap root separated from my seed. Now what?
love it! love how he says moiiishen. thats a real guy, talking to us like we would understand. fck yea man. keep goin your way!
How long can you store seeds until they go bad?
Will this work without seaweed
lol i like how you had a brain fart and called it a paper plate. your mind was probably thinking paper towel and some wires got crossed. 😁
Takes square paper towel sheets and folds it into a diamond, then rotates it 45 degrees to make a square. LOL
Were gonna Moystin it!!! 😂😂😂
I germinate my seeds like this. He’s right.👍
It’s my second grow now but I’m doing ur basics with your vids… Thank you 💟☺️💟 LPR…
Starting my seeds in 2 days, can’t wait! Thanks so much for the video 👍🇨🇦
Bob Ross stoner cousin
you look like a past Sifu of mine.
You get a sub. Nice job!!
Hi im ready to learn from the best u got yourself a new subscriber
they are already germinated
You forgot to soak them for a bit in hydrogen peroxide water before your process
Is there a substitute for the liquified seaweed
That song is annoying
Seedweed really how about some palmatgranet juice 😆.
Amazing brother I’ll call you sensei
Thanks. What’s that technique called when you pinch and bend parts of the stem?, it sort of swells it up and it’s supposed to help the plant somehow
I moisten the top layer of soil and then add seed half inch in middle of pot. Cover lightly and water again lightly. I added a layer of saran wrap over the pot and in 3 days they appear out of the dirt. Just a different way.

Ever have any problems with an almost mycelium /mold like growth on seeds? Been growing about 5 years and never had this problem until this year 😣
Ok I’m new to the growing scene but I’m going to give it a try
dude I’ve followed you since the 90’s……and I’ve used the paper towel tech for 20plus years….but this last 12months I’ve bought seeds from reputable companies and so far all seeds but 2 out of 20 seeds popped using this tech…….have u ever run into a hand full seeds not pop
Will this work with 🥭 Mango.
I just had my first taproot when I checked in on mine and others look like they are all sprouting. I folded my paper in 2 pieces then then separated them a bit. Hopefully I get a successful transfer
He looks like like bbno$
Thanks my dude.
What if I don’t have liquified seaweed?
Hey Great Video!, Have You Heard of Brothers In Farms Genetics? Were a growing Cannabis Community Check Us Out.
I’m going to try the seaweed. I had only 2 seeds sprout a taproot after 48 hours in the dark under moist paper towel. maybe I just got a bad batch, but it was a terrible grow run now that it’s legal in VA.
24-48 hours = over night? …no explanation of why liq seaweed. Good vid tho, would just like more clarity
