This means that, especially if you don't get your seeds directly from a seed bank (which is almost always the case!), you need to make sure you only get fresh cannabis seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you must ensure that you only get fresh cannabis seeds. Furthermore, you must ensure that you do not get mold or other pathogens that could damage your seeds. Oh, and if you have purchased some high-quality fresh cannabis seeds but cannot grow them immediately, consider freezing them. Make sure to keep them dry, but you can put them in the freezer. This will slow down degradation, and you can keep them fresh for up to 5 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"algehele_gevoel_en_uiterlijk\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall feel and appearance<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16027\" src=\"https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\u2705 Hemp Seed Test - Do They Look and Feel Healthy? - Smartific\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-510x287.jpg 510w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-64x36.jpg 64w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-1x1.jpg 1w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-10x6.jpg 10w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/smartific.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Hennep-Zaden-Test-Zien-en-voelen-ze-gezond-Smartific.jpg 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, you can only do<\/span>Looking at and feeling the cannabis seeds, you can already determine if they are healthy.

Therefore, it's best to perform this test if you plan to plant the seeds immediately. Simply take the seeds that have sunk for germination and don't waste your time on seeds that continue to float. Remember, if you leave them in the water for that long, they will absorb enough water to start germinating!
