You can use all sorts of things to plant seeds, including marijuana seeds. A common trick is to use peat pellets, or Jiffy Pots, as they are sometimes called. These pellets are made of peat and covered with a thin plastic net.
They increase in size 7 times when soaked in water. Once expanded they will be about 2 inches by 2 inches. They are great for starting all sorts of plants, including marijuana seeds.
Jiffy pots put a lot of things you need for seedlings all together in one place - soil, pot, warmth, water. They make the whole show way easier. Like always, start in a warm place. Get a good work area and get all your supplies organized.
While many seeds can be grown directly outdoors, there are varieties that should be given an early start indoors. Then you can transplant them outside once all danger of frost has passed. This gives you a head start on the growing season.
How early you start is up to you. The last frost date for your area will be available online, at nurseries or in the Farmer's Almanac. You can grow some plants quite large before you move them outside.
Place the pellets in a watertight container, with the circle down. Add warm water, slowly, until you cover the pellets and then some. The pellets will expand within 30 minutes or so. get rid of excess water and check the PH (shoot for 6.5-7.0).
You can germinate the seeds outside the pellets, in water or paper towels. You can also just plant them right into the pellets. Cover the seeded pellets with a Gro-Dome or some sort of plastic cover to retain moisture until germination occurs.
Put the tray in a warm place. When the seeds start germinating and showing signs of life remove the cover. Put them under lights so the seedlings can start growing.
Only water when the tops of the pellets dry out. Don't over water or leave standing water in the container. Start fertilizing when the seedlings get a few sets of leaves.
