Germinate hemp seeds with Zewa: This is how it works
Have you decided to grow your own hemp plants and would like to know how to germinate hemp seeds using the Zewa method? Then you have come to the right place! In this guide, I will explain to you step by step how to successfully germinate your hemp seeds using simple means such as Zewa.
Why Zewa is a good choice
The method of germinating hemp seeds with Zewa is popular with many growers for a reason. Zewa, i.e. kitchen paper, is absorbent, offers the seeds enough moisture and at the same time good ventilation. This prevents waterlogging, which could negatively affect the germination process. Zewa is also readily available and easy to use.
What you need to germinate hemp seeds
Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary materials ready:
- Hemp seeds : Make sure the seeds are fresh and of good quality. You can find Fem. Hemp seeds here.
- Zewa : You need several sheets of kitchen paper that is unprinted and unscented.
- Plate or flat bowl : These serve as a base for the Zewa.
- Spray bottle : This allows you to moisten the Zewa regularly.
- Tweezers (optional) : To carefully place the seeds without damaging them.
Step-by-step instructions: Germinate hemp seeds with Zewa
1. Preparation of the Zewa pad
Take two to three sheets of Zewa paper towels and moisten them well, but do not let them drip. The kitchen paper towel should be evenly moist, but there should be no water left on the plate.
2. Placement of the hemp seeds
Place the hemp seeds on the moist Zewa paper with a distance of about 2-3 centimeters between them. This distance is important so that the seedlings have enough space to develop their roots. Use tweezers if you want to place the seeds very carefully.
3. Covering the seeds
Now cover the seeds with another damp sheet of Zewa. Again, don't make it too wet, just evenly moist. The seeds should be in the dark, so you can place another plate or bowl upside down over them.
4. Location and care
Place the plate in a warm place, ideally at a temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. It is important that the Zewa remains constantly moist. Therefore, check it regularly and moisten it with the spray bottle if necessary. It is usually sufficient to moisten the Zewa slightly every six hours.
5. Wait and observe
After about 2-4 days you should be able to see the first small roots. Be patient, as it can take up to ten days for all the seeds to germinate. When the roots are about one centimeter long, your cannabis seeds are ready to be planted in soil or rockwool.
Planting seedlings: How to proceed
Once the roots of your hemp seeds have reached a certain length, it is time to transplant them into soil or rockwool. Be careful here, as the young roots are very sensitive.
- Preparing the planter : Fill the planter with well-aerated soil or rock wool and loosen the material.
- Planting the seedlings : Use tweezers to carefully place the seedlings into small holes in the soil or rockwool. The root should be completely covered, but do not pack the soil too tightly to allow the roots to continue to grow.
- Watering and location : Water the seedlings carefully and place the container in a bright, warm place. Make sure that the soil always remains slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
Tips for successful breeding
- Light and warmth : Hemp seeds need a lot of light after germination. A sunny windowsill or a special plant lamp can be helpful here.
- Nutrients : Once the seedlings are a little bigger, you can start to fertilize them lightly to encourage strong growth.
With this method, you can be sure that your hemp seeds will germinate optimally and grow into healthy plants. Good luck with your cultivation project!
This guide will show you how easy it can be to germinate hemp seeds with Zewa. With the right seeds and a little patience, you will quickly see initial success and will soon be able to enjoy strong hemp plants.
