Water

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

Soaking seeds in water allows moisture to penetrate the protective seed shell within minutes. Once inside, moisture continues to wick in to activate the dormant hormones. In a few days, hormones activate and send enough hormone signals to produce a radicle. The radicle emerges upward to bring a new plant into the world.

Once the seed is moist, it must receive a constant flow f moisture to carry nutrients, hormones, and water so that it can carry on life processes. if germinated seeds are allowed to suffer moisture stress now seedling growth will be stunted.
