Germination Guidelines

To ensure a healthy start, it's important to germinate Afghan Autoflower seeds carefully. Begin by moistening two paper towels with room temperature water and placing the seeds between them on a plate. Cover the setup with an opaque plate and store it in a warm, dark location. Check the paper towels every 4–6 hours, keeping them moist. Germination typically occurs within 24 to 120 hours.

Once sprouted, plant the seeds with the roots facing down and cover them with about 2 cm of soil. Maintain a temperature of 69.8 ºF – 78.8 ºF (21 ºC – 26 ºC) and use purified water with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. Avoid direct light exposure and do not touch the seeds during germination.

To qualify for the three-month germination guarantee, follow all steps outlined in the germination guidelines. Document the process through photography or video, as it will be required for any replacement claims.
