be placed directly into the growing medium, soil or rockwool then watered and kept damp but not saturated as the seed requires air as well as water, the seed starts to germinate when it as absorbed enough water and the root starts to break out of its shell. The seed only needs to be 5mm under the surface of the growing medium and placed in a warm position.
My favourite way, and i think the best is to use two saucers with a piece of tissue placed on the bottom saucer then the seed put onto the tissue, then you can dampen the tissue and place the other upturned saucer on top so it looks like a flying saucer. Keep the saucers in a warm position such as on the mantle in your room, check the seeds are damp and have not dried out, once the seeds start to sprout transplant into your growing medium, if your using soil use the small peat seedling plant pots so you don't damage the roots when you transfer them into larger pots, as you can place the peat pot straight in and the roots will grow through into the soil.
You can also germinate your seeds out doors, directly into yhe soil were they will be grown, this method of germination is less reliable, you may loose many seeds.
When the plants start flowering, carry on growing for another 4 to 8 weeks until one third of the little white hairs known as pistiles have turned red or brown. Remove the bracts they shoud be laiden with resin high in THC, leave to dry in a warm place until the stems break like dried twigs, keep your crop in an air tight container.
This is basic information, more detail growing methods can be obtained free of charge from the internet or from a good grow book.
Happy Growing
