• this “sandwich” is poured with water from a glass (100-150 ml) so the liquid evenly soaks the sponges;
• moistened sponges are placed in the zip-lock plastic bag;
• before closing the bag, warm air must be breathed into it (firstly, heat, and secondly, carbon dioxide intensifies the germination process, thirdly, the seeds in the bag will have a sufficient supply of oxygen);
• a sealed bag hided in a dark, warm place for a day;

The method of germination of hard seeds
How to germinate cannabis seeds, which because of their variety, age or storage conditions have the minimum chance of dropping their carapace and releasing a spine on? A simple method will allow solving the problem, for the implementation of which it is necessary to stock up:
• Seeds;
• Pure water with a pH level of 5.0-7.0;
• Hydrogen peroxide;
• Glasses and a plate;
• Cotton pads or foam rubber with a thickness of 3-5 mm;
• Plastic bag.
The essence of the method is to “click” the seeds before soaking. Follow thise steps:
• Each seed needs a little bit of bite. For this, the seed is placed on the tooth with an edge, after which it needs to be bitten slightly until a characteristic click is heard. This will mean that the shell has cracked. Mark that this method is difficult; there is a chance to damage the seed;
• To prepare a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide: for 1 glass of water 3 spoons of peroxide. Shake the solution and aerate it well, pouring it several times from one glass to another;
• In a glass with this solution, put into the seeds for a day or three. During this time, the seeds will swell and, possibly, you will find embryos, but the root does not have to be expected from them;
• Using a toothpick, holding the seed between the thumb and forefinger, the softened shell and green film are carefully removed; tend releasing the embryo with a tiny spine;
• To prepare a new solution of water and peroxide in the same proportions. Foam rubber is wetted in the solution (it is more preferable of its good breathability, in contrast to cotton pads);
• This foam is well wrung out and lay out on a plate. On top of one piece, the embryos freed from the shell are laid out, after which they are covered with a second moistened and squeezed piece of the foam;
• A plate with foam rubber and embryos is placed into a bag and sent for a 24 hours to a warm place (25-28 ° C). During this time, the embryos will demonstrate active growth and will be ready for transfer to the ground;
• Before placing the emb
ryo with the root in the soil, with the help of a toothpick you need to make a recess, finding a place for a gentle root;
• Sprouts are carefully inserted into the recesses, poured with the same solution of peroxide and water, and covered with a glass to create a greenhouse effect during the first time (1-2 days).
