Germinate means “ to bring to life .” Germination is the first part of a plant ’ s life , the activation and growth of a seed into a seedling . Cannabis seeds germinate via epigeal germination which sees the cotyledons ( seed leaves ) pushed upward and out of the soil as the plant begins to grow .
Before germination occurs , the seed does not have the required nutrients for plant growth . For germination to occur , temperature , moisture levels , light levels , and oxygen levels must be present in the correct ratios . Once initiated by these correct conditions , enzymes within the seed are activated and the process of growth begins .
If everything goes according to plan with your germination efforts , you will see the radicle / root tip of the cannabis seed breaking through the shell . This new root is the first sign germination has occurred . It is best to transplant each seedling when the radicle is around three times the length of the seed .
