Now that we’ve established cannabis clone as the winning option, let’s go over a few essential tips for a successful transplanting process:

Let's take a look at the possible methods for seeds.

Germination methods:

• A glass of water:Place the seeds in water at 22°C and they will germinate within 3–5 days.
• Wet paper towel: Seeds placed between two moist paper towels will develop 2–3 mm roots within a few days.
• Directly in soil:With high-quality soil, seeds can be planted directly into the substrate.
• Rockwool cubes: Seeds placed into rockwool cubes and kept on a plastic tray will maintain ideal temperature and humidity.
• RQS soil plugs: These soil plugs provide optimal conditions for seed development.

Tips for successful germination:

• Dark-colored seeds are more likely to produce healthy seedlings.

• Ideal temperature is between 22–25°C.

• Relative humidity should be between 70–90%.

• The growing medium must remain moist but never waterlogged.

• Fluorescent lighting helps seeds receive adequate light.

• pH should be monitored depending on the growing medium.
