This is how I grew my plant in soil so this is what I know the best. If you’re growing indoors you have the opportunity to put your soil in the microwave to sterilize it which is a good idea. When you get dirt from anywhere there a little bugs in it that you cant even see. When you microwave it they will all be killed also you will kill any other plant life that might be growing. If you do decide to microwave it you should do it when you parents are not going to be home for a while. Because it will smell like dirt all through the house. Then you parents might be suspicious that you are microwaving dirt. If you decide to grow out doors which is what IM doing you don’t have the luxury of sterilizing your dirt. If you really wanted to you could boil water and poor it where your going to plant. That will not be permanent though so I wouldn’t waste your time. First of all you will need a good fertilizer and soak you soil. Once a day for three days before you plant your seed this will insure that your soil will have all the nutrients it needs to grow healthy. Use only about 250 mL of you fertilizer mixture for the three days and the last day before you plant water it down with about 500mL of water. Then plant you seed the next day.
Now to plant the seed you have to plant it either white thingy pointing down if you put it in between a cloth. If you’re just planting the seed plant the pointy side down. Using the method with out the cloth is more risky because you don’t know for sure if your seed will even sprout out of the seed. The other way using the cloth you will find the seeds that will grow because they will have sprouted a little white thing hangin out the bottom of the seed. When you plant the seed it should be no deeper then ¼-1/2 inch deep. This goes for growing inside and outside.
When your growing indoors before you plant your seed make sure you have no roots in the soil as they may grow which will take nutrients that you want to go to your weed. Remember the Marijuana is a weed and will grow like a weed so when planting outside you don’t have to find a spot where there are no trees blocking the sun. Then again don’t plant it underneath a tree where no sun can get at all.
