Now that all 6 seeds have sprouted and the white sprout is visible they are ready to be moved into their growing medium and humidity dome. The white rootlet grew quicker and longer on all 3 OG while the MK still had strong, healthy growth but those sprouts are a bit smaller and not as uniform.

The rockwool had been conditioned and soaked the previous day.  They came with pre-drilled holes, but we had to use a skewer to make the holes wider and deeper for the roots to fit and so there wouldn’t be any root damage from bending.

The medical marijuana seeds are still on top of the fridge and a small amount of distilled water was poured very gently over the paper towel to prevent it drying out.  All 6 seeds have begun sprouting their tap rootlet and growth is looking healthy and vigorous.

24 hours later…all 6 seeds had either sprouted a tiny tap rootlet or were just breaking through the shell.  At this point the 3 OG have had more of a vigorous start as the rootlets are more noticeable than the 3 MK but all 6 have started their germination beautifully and it’s on to the next step.

Now that they have been soaking for 24 hours, the seeds are ready to be placed in a moist paper towel to allow longer tap root growth. You want to keep your sheet of paper towel moist, and able to drain excess water. This was done by placing a regular food grater on a dinner plate and placing a distilled water mositened paper towel over the length of the grater.  The grater allows for air flow underneath the seeds and gives excess water a way to drain away easily.
