Marijuana seeds can be planted in all sorts of mediums. A common one is the peat pellet, often called a Jiffy Pot. They are made of dry compressed peat and covered with a thin netting.
They will increase 7 times in size by adding water. They end up being about 2" high and 2" wide. They are ideal for starting most flowers, lettuce, cabbage, even marijuana seeds.
Peat pellets combine pot, warmth, soil and watering functions. They make the whole process pretty easy. Start in a warm location - everyone says the kitchen, but anywhere warm will work. Get a work surface and all your materials handy.
Although some seeds, like carrots or radishes, start well right outside, some do better with a head start. You then move them outside when the weather gets warmer. This gives you a longer growing period and bigger plants or vegetables.
The number of weeks the seed should be started before the last frost date is decided by you. You can determine the approximate last frost date for your area using a Farmer's Almanac, going online or asking at a nearby nursery. Remember, some plants can be grown larger than others indoors, so you could start very early.
Get a watertight tray or container and place the pellets in it. Add warm water to the tray slowly. Let the pellets expand until they are dark and soft. Get rid of excess water. Check the PH and get it between 6. and 7.0.
You can germinate seeds outside, in paper towels or right in water, as we all know. You can also plant them right in the peat pellets. Cover the tray with saran warp or a Gro-Dome to keep the moisture in while 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.
