How to Test Cannabis Seed Germination Rates: The JCS Method for Success

Cannabis Seed Germination Testing at Just Cannabis Seeds

I had a customer complain that they planted all 20 seeds from a free seed order and got zero germination!

What to do?

Do a germination test of course…I want every single seed I sell to germinate…every single one!

I quickly grabbed some of the seeds for the free seed offer and threw them in a wet paper towel…along with a few other strains I sell many seeds of. Namely Purple Lemonade, and Blackberry Gold XXL.

I did not use any bottom heat…that can REALLY help germination, so they took a couple days to show….and I will not lie…I always worry just a bit. I want happy customers, and of course great germination is a huge step in the right direction.

So, here is an image of the free seed order germ test…

Purple Lemonade germ test…

And, the Blackberry Gold XXL…

As you can see they all germinated well, and all over the 80% I guarantee.

Pretty much 100%, which makes me, and you my customer very happy! There is not really anything I want more…then you to be successful growing wonderful medicine with my seeds! That just floats my boat!

Testing Even More Seeds at JCS

And, I am not done.

Here is the next phase of testing my germination rate at JCS. I will test several more of my strains…which I labeled, as well as I simply filled the rest of the seed tray with random batches of some of my other seeds.

These seeds will be sprouted in the way I go about it if I want absolutely every seed to sprout…giving me the very best chance of 100% germination. A planting tray like this, using bottom heat, and a humidity dome.

If you want all your cannabis seeds to sprout…this is my recommended way to make that happen.

I will update this post when these seeds sprout…will I get 100%? Time will tell.

The number one (by far) germination reports I get from customers is 100%…truthfully it kinda surprises me more people do not have germination issues…no matter the quality of the seeds. But I am thinking I sell seeds to alot of folks with green thumbs…and some seem to have two green thumbs!

Anyways I appreciate you all so much, you are the reason Stony Oasis Farms even exists!

As always I would love to hear feedback. How has your germination been with my seeds? Have you gotten 100%? Leave me a comment….
