Humidity levels are equally important and keeping the seeds in the paper towel will keep the humidity levels where they should be . Keep the kitchen towel moist at all times and do not let it dry out . If you have been successful , it should take about two to four days until the radicle begins to emerge . It is best practise to place the moist kitchen towels between two clean plates . Doing so helps to stabilize temperature and humidity and block out any light . The plates should be face-to-face , with the germination towel in between . Once a cannabis seed starts showing signs of successfully germinating , you can easily remove them while leaving the others , which may not yet have germinated , undisturbed .
DIRECT METHOD
Germinating “ directly ” is where you place the cannabis seed directly within a pellet or block of a medium of your choosing . You can germinate your seed within a soil or coco pellet , however , I would recommend choosing a one-inch rooting sponge or stonewool cube . You can use a soil pellet , but the risk here is that soil already contains a certain level of minerals and elements that could cause an imbalance in your seed , affecting its development later on in life .

The direct method

of germination can be hard to control as you must wait until the seedling first shows itself out of the chosen medium to know whether it has been successful or not .”
