Germination Guide

Follow these easy steps to successfully germinate your Silberhaze Genetics seeds!

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

  • Silberhaze Genetics™ Seeds
  • Paper towels or coffee filters
  • Distilled water
  • Silberhaze Seedzers® (or tweezers)
  • Sterile gloves
  • Sealed container or plastic bag

Step 2: Preparing Your Workspace

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent contamination.
  2. Choose a clean, well-lit workspace with minimal airflow to avoid seed displacement.

Step 3: Pre-soaking Seeds

  1. Pour a small amount of distilled water into a container.
  2. Using Seedzers® (or tweezers), place Silberhaze Genetics seeds into the water.
  3. Allow seeds to pre-soak for 12-24 hours. Monitor for any seeds that float; these may be less viable.

Step 4: Creating the Germination Environment

  1. Moisten a paper towel or coffee filter with distilled water, ensuring it's damp but not saturated.
  2. Place pre-soaked seeds onto half of the damp paper towel or coffee filter.
  3. Fold the other half over the seeds gently to create a seed sandwich.

Step 5: Sealing and Storing

  1. Place the seed sandwich into a sealed container or plastic bag to maintain moisture.
  2. Store the container in a warm, dark place – such as on top of a refrigerator or in a cupboard.
  3. Check every 12 hours for sprouting. Once the taproot is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, your seeds are ready for planting.

Step 6: Transplanting Germinated Seeds

  1. Using your Seedzers® (or tweezers), carefully transplant germinated seeds into your chosen growing medium, such as soil or hydroponics.
  2. Plant the seed with the taproot facing down, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch deep.
