So you’ve got yourself a little seed and big dreams. It’s a tale as old as time. How does it end?
Ehhhhh, not looking great, buddy.
Can you grow weed from just one seed? Yes, you can. Just don’t get your hopes up.
The sad truth is that not all seeds will grow. Therefore itโs a good idea to buy them in packs and always obtain them from reputable breeders! Cannabis seeds can be sold individually, or as packs of three/five/ten and so on.
But if you’re asking if you can grow weed from one seed, you probably only have one seed, so why am I rubbing it in?! Okay, so you got a seed, here’s your best bet for success…

Before a cannabis seed is planted, it must complete a process called germination. During the germination process, you must provide the seed with enough moisture and darkness to help the taproot emerge. Once the taproot emerges, that’s when you plant it, taproot down.
Theoretically you could skip the germination process and just stick the seed directly in the growing medium and hope for the best, but it is not advised.
When growing weed from one seed, it is important to carefully monitor the plant and provide it with the proper conditions for growth. This includes providing the plant with adequate light, water, and nutrients, as well as maintaining the right temperature and humidity levels.
Here are some tips to increase your chances of success when trying to grow a weed plant from only one seed:
- Start with a high-quality seed from a reputable source. Look for seeds that are firm, dark, and have a smooth, glossy appearance. Avoid seeds that are light-colored, cracked, or damaged. If you’re using a seed you found in some weed you bought, you can skip this step ๐
- Germinate the seed properly. This involves soaking the seed in water for a few hours, and then planting it in a moist growing medium such as soil or a seed starter kit.
- Provide the seedling with the proper growing conditions. This includes providing the plant with adequate light, water, and nutrients, as well as maintaining the right temperature and humidity levels.
- Monitor the plant closely and make any necessary adjustments. This may include adjusting the lighting, watering, or nutrient levels, or pruning the plant to promote healthy growth.
- Be patient and consistent. Growing a weed plant from only one seed can be challenging, but with proper care and attention, it is possible to achieve success. Keep trying and adjusting your approach until you find a method that works for you.
