Notes

The flowering stage in Cannabis plants is the period when they grow their buds.
Growing outdoors, plants will start the flowering stage when the days grow shorter, usually when Autumn is coming.
Auto flowering strains don’t need a photoperiod change to start flowering, their vegetative stage lasts around 4 weeks and then it switches stages automatically.
A viable seed looks brown with some stripes, is dry, and feels hard. If the seed feels weak or is white or light green, it’s probably an undeveloped seed that won’t produce a healthy plant.
Keep your cannabis seeds in a dark, cold place, for example, in the fridge inside a plastic bag for better conservation. When the time of germination comes, get your seed out at ambient temperature. You can better your germination chances by putting your seed no more than 12 hours in a glass of water; if it floats it’s probably not viable, although it may germinate anyway. If the seed sinks, it’s probably because it’s viable and full of life, ready for germination. Don’t let seeds in the water for much longer, as the seed needs to breathe oxygen and it may drown and die.
