Step-by-step guide: how do you grow cannabis seeds as a beginner?

Growing cannabis seeds sounds complicated, but with these steps you will get there within a few weeks. Follow this simple guide for your first harvest.

Step 1: Germinating cannabis seeds

Soak your seeds for 12–24 hours in lukewarm water. Then place them between damp paper towels in a warm spot (22–25 °C). Within 2–5 days you will see a white root (taproot). This is the start of your adventure with cannabis seeds for beginners.

Step 2: Transplanting into soil

Once the taproot is 1–2 cm long, plant the seed 1 cm deep in a starter pot with moist soil. Keep the soil moist but not wet. Place it under your grow light with 18 hours of light per day.

Step 3: Vegetative growth stage

In the first 4–6 weeks your plant grows leaves and a stem. Water when the top layer feels dry and add light nutrients. Temperature: 20–28 °C, humidity 40–70%.

Step 4: Inducing flowering

For autoflowering seeds this happens automatically. Switch to 12 hours of light / 12 hours of darkness for feminized seeds. Use bloom nutrients and support the branches when they get heavy.

Step 5: Harvesting and drying

Harvest when 70% of the hairs have turned brown (8–10 weeks of flowering). Hang the plants upside down to dry and cure in glass jars. Enjoy your home-grown buds!

Total time: 8–12 weeks from seed to harvest. See our beginner's grow guide for more details.
