Dormancy And Germination
Dormancy and germination classify seeds by their readiness to sprout and the environmental conditions required to break dormancy. Some cannabis seeds exhibit physiological dormancy—a natural delay before germination—while others germinate readily under basic moisture and temperature conditions. This trait is influenced by seed maturity at harvest, storage conditions, and genetic factors within a lineage. Breeders and seed producers track dormancy patterns to predict germination rates and optimize storage protocols. Understanding dormancy windows helps cultivators plan planting schedules and assess seed viability across different preservation methods.

Breeders select for consistent, rapid germination to improve commercial seed reliability and reduce crop timing variability. Conversely, some heritage or outdoor-adapted lineages retain dormancy traits that historically synchronized sprouting with seasonal environmental shifts.
