Making seeds question...

[fastbmw]

I pollenated my female plant and now I have about 80-100 seeds. My question is, do I need to wait to germinate the new seeds? Do the seeds need a rest period before they can be germinated? The seeds look great, dark with light squiggly lines, not immature seeds definitely.

I know were growing some of our own seeds right now. We waited about 1 month or so before we did any germinating. ;)

Your germination rate will improve if you let them dry for 30 days or so.

i deffinantly agree if you wait even 2 or 3 weeks your success rate will go up...i recently pulled about 30 seeds of my small plants that was purple kush/ic/silversurfer/purekushsourdiesel it should be fantasticle!!! but yes deffinantly wait

stick them in the fridge for 2 weeks after lettin them dry,
as if you simulate the winter when the seeds fall off in the fall
thats my way of doin so.

I would be concerned about moisture in the fridge + possible very tiny condensation after removal from fridge like when you take a can of coke
out and water droplets form.

This forum is great. Rice used as a dessicant is also something new I have learned here.

Thanks to you and the others who mentioned it.

You would want to store them in something like a film canister that is pretty much air tight. Frost free fridges actually remove moisture from the air and dehydration would be more of a problem. The condensation on a can is caused when the cold can comes in contact with warm air that has moisture in it--the fridge doesn't really cause it.
