curing seeds?

[trav_420]

I've recently harvested my autoflower seed run. Do I need to "cure" the seeds? Or can I just sprout them right away?

If the seeds were properly mature, that is to say more or less dropping from the pods, then you should find they sprout right away. Fresh seed like this is incredibly fertile. One that dropped in the back lawn came up no problem, and some I just put in coco (I just make a small pot of coco and bung the seed in the middle about 1/4" down and on its side) sprouted in two days. What I do is place them in a spice jar along with one of those little sachets of drying gel from an empty bottle of pills, and keep in the refri tucked away somewhere. Heat and damp are the enemies.

Thanks. I thought I read somewhere to wait a month. But I've also read stories like yours where they fall right out and sprout up.
