Although they can germinate in both environments, there are scientific reasons that favor germination in darkness. This can be due to something entirely logical, as <strong>in nature, seeds generally germinate underground<\/strong>, where light does not reach. However, this is not always the case for all plants, but it is for hemp and cannabis seeds in general.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9C%85_Scientific_Fundamentals_of_Germination_in_Darkness\"><\/span>\u2705 Scientific Fundamentals of Germination in Darkness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Energy and Biological Resources:<\/strong>During germination, hemp seeds activate their stored reserves to <strong>develop the radicle (primary root) and hypocotyl (the segment of the stem that emerges first)<\/strong>. In darkness, the plant uses these reserves efficiently, without diverting energy to photosynthetic processes that are not necessary at this early stage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Imitation of the Natural Environment:<\/strong>In their natural environment, seeds are usually buried and therefore in darkness. This dark environment signals to the seed that it is still underground, which is a stimulus to begin vertical growth in search of light. This mechanism has allowed the survival and adaptation of many plant species throughout evolution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protection Against Desiccation and Environmental Factors:<\/strong>Keeping the seeds in darkness helps preserve the moisture around them, crucial for their germination. Exposure to light, particularly direct sunlight, can increase temperature and reduce moisture, <strong>which can dry out the seeds and reduce successful germination rates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%9D%A4%EF%B8%8F_The_Importance_of_Light_After_Germination\"><\/span>\u2764\ufe0f The Importance of Light After Germination<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once the seed has germinated and the sprout emerges, light becomes an essential factor.
