Introduction: Cannabis Seed Germination Cannabis germination is the process of getting your seeds to sprout, and you know sprouting has occurred when a little white tendril pops out of the seed. The little white tendril that emerges from a cannabis seed during germination is your plant’s first root, known as a “taproot.” All other roots
made by your cannabis plant in its lifetime will sprout from the taproot. Germinated cannabis seeds with taproots The taproot is both the first root and the main stem. It will get longer and longer, with the taproot side burrowing down, and the other side pushing the seed up through the surface of your growing medium. The shell cracks opens and the first leaves (these first round leaves are known as “cotyledons”) emerge from inside the cannabis seed. The cotyledon leaves are already
fully formed in the seed, so the cannabis seedling doesn’t have to grow them. In fact, the emerging first leaves are what break apart the shell after it’s cracked open by the taproot, as pictured here. The next set of leaves after the cotyledons are your plants first “true” leaves and will have jagged edges (serrations). These new leaves were grown by your cannabis seedling all on its own. Now you’re going!

Your Thoughts on Cannabis Seed Sources |
Last week I asked you about your experiences and thoughts about cannabis seed sources. I wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways. Seedsman - We asked you specifically about Seedsman so that's who we received the most emails about. There were too many
to print here but I tried to pick a representative sample to help you all decide. Overall they got mostly good reviews with a few mixed reviews. ~Nebula A Few Mixed Reviews - "Purchased seeds from Seedsman in April. No delivery problem. Not thrilled with the germination rate. Way too many e-mails!!!" ~No name given
Most Reviews Were Good - "I have been getting my seeds from "Seedsman" . So far can't complain." ~Jeffrey
- "I ordered seeds from Seedsman in April of this year with no problem what so ever. From what I have found out Seedsman now has a hub in the U.S.. Payment was a breeze and shipping was a lot quicker. Love the changes they have
made." ~Cheryl
- "I have purchased from Seedsman and Herbies without issues so far." ~Papajeff
- "No problems in last year for me. Ny usa" ~Richard
- "I have ordered from Seedsman numerous times recently with check, card and even cash. All transactions have been fine. They have become my go to." ~Gary
- "I have been using
Seedsman for a few years now and they have gotten much easier to use since they now have a U.S. address for cash payments! Regular debit cards can also be used now!" ~William
|
Growers Choice - Mixed - "Seeds purchased from growers choice, packaged in tube sold to me as all the same.... Some plants did not look or grow
same as others even though all are treated exactly the same... These seeds from exact same tube were not same genetics." ~Todd
- "Growers Choice Seeds out of California. Been using them for years! Great genetics and prices as well!!" ~Michael
Seed Supreme - Good reviews - "Hello, Seed Supreme and ILGM are my go-to seed suppliers. They have always delivered consistently. I use the two as strain specific seeds are sometimes only available from one of them. Just got a batch of Platinum Cookies via Seed Supreme. Hope to have a good report in 5 months….Cheers and toke you!" ~Raymond
Other Suggestions - (Seeds Here Now) "I'm not able to answer your first question because I've haven't received bad genetics/seeds. The second question who's my favorite
seed company, they are Seedsman, Seeds Here Now, and Seed Supreme." ~Cheryl
- (Nirvana) "Just wanted to give Nirvana Seed a vote for a great source." ~Martin
- (ILGM)
"I ordered 10 NYC desiel from ILGM and out of the 10, only 4 germinated, and they would not honor their own germinating guarantee."

"I love you all!!! Great reads.
Great info. Keep it going❤️🗞️🍀
From Maine" ~Michelle Hey Michelle, I used to spend every summer in Maine and it is beautiful and wild. I was proud in 2016 to hear that Maine legalized weed. It now has a thriving market. In fact, some of the best new strains in the US are being bred in Maine! It's becoming the Humboldt of the east. ~Nebula

"Hello! Thank you soooo much for your super informative website! Since VA legalized last year, I’ve been growing outdoors in my food Garden - so fun! Your info on when to harvest, drying down and curing have been invaluable to my efforts - thanks so much for facilitating the untold riches in my basement
❤️"
~Deb Hey Deb, Thank you :) It is an incredible feeling to harvest your own weed and hold it in your hands. Especially when weed has been hard to get due to prohibition. I remember that feeling vividly. I hope you send us pictures of your
basement riches! ~Nebula Haze "My Sunday morning wouldn’t be complete without your newsletter and knowledge. TY crew" ~James Hey James, thanks for writing in! I try to make enjoyable newsletters and you made my day with this message. ~Nebula "BTW I love your site!!! Always my go to when I need reassurance or information! Thank you!!!!" ~No name given Hello mystery person, thank you! I also go back to the website
and look things up from time to time. It's so nice not to have to remember every little thing. ~Nebula

"Amnesia Haze feminized at week 11. For half of July in all of August, she spent every day outdoors in the sunlight, and then in the tent in the evenings until she got too difficult to walk down the hallway without rubbing the walls."
~Kelsonofitch I love the mental image of a plant getting so big it rubs on the walls.Your buds look excellent! They are long and well-formed, yet the
white hairs haven't started darkening and curling in yet. These buds are going to be huge at harvest time! Haze plants take a bit longer in the flowering stage than some other strains, but they reward you with eye-popping yields and unique effects. ~Nebula Haze |
"White Widow with 2 branches that went half albino!!??" ~Samba This may look like a nutrient deficiency (especially an iron deficiency), but I believe what's happening here is a phenomenon known as "variegation" (Wikipedia link). I think that because there is
so much green healthy growth with no signs of deficiencies, there are two-tone leaves (which aren't normally caused by a deficiency), and the albino parts are so uniform with no green on the ends of the leaves like with an iron deficiency. Variegation that looks like this is often just a visual mutation, and tends to affect just a branch or certain branches of the plant. If you don't see any other symptoms, it's just
some natural variation to enjoy. ~Nebula Haze
Scam Alert: No, you did not win the Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes |

|
If you get a call, email, or letter saying you won the Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes, it's a scam!
|
"Cash this $7,890 check, send it off for taxes, and we'll deliver your $2.1 million prize!" Don't fall for it! Apparently this scam has been going on for years and keeps popping up over and over. The way the scam works is the scammer will send you a check for a few thousand dollars to cash to pay for legal fees, taxes and processing charges
for your "prize". They ask you to send off that money to the government and then they'll send you the prize money. However, if you deposit that check and send the money away, a few days later you'd learn the check bounced and you're out thousands of dollars. According to PCH about this all-to-common scam: "No. 1, we never notify our winners with a phone call. No. 2, we don't send friend requests or private messages to our winners on Facebook. No. 3, most importantly,
you never have to pay anything to claim your PCH prize." P.S. The cannabis industry has all kinds of scams, especially when it comes to buying seeds. Remember... Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to
think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).

Sirius Fourside is a hobbyist grower who has gained the bulk of his experience growing in water as a medium (deep water culture, bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, coco, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
