is it best to hold newly harvested seeds for a period

of time before they are sprouted? thanks, vaporman

na man pop em in the ground or what ever... there ready when they drop off the plant...

If the seed is mature and a golden to dark brown.... it's ready as soon as it falls off the "weed". It is truly a weed and acts accordingly.

Plants when producing a seed will make sure that the instructions for a successful grow are finished first and foremost in the developing offspring (seed). We call it RNA. This is in case of a weather event or an animal browser which may separate the seed prematurely from the parent.

Good to go form the start.

what they said..... but if you are going to store your seeds in the fridge (( they can stay fresh for years in the fridge)),,and use them over time,,, then you will need to let them dry out for a few weeks first

is mj truly a weed or do we just call it weed
i dont think it is a weed

Yes and no......

Technically a "weed" is something which is capable of rapid proliferation and hard to eradicate. MJ is that kind of plant.

The police have not been able to stamp out MJ.... The original idea behing 420 was for everyone to save their seeds up over the year and on 4/20 .. go out and spread them along the highways and fields everywhere, and overwhelm the cops and DEA. Of course stoners are easily distracted and the real message was lost. It would work though.

BUT....

On the other hand, botanically.... a "weed" is something man has not found a use for, or not enough of a use to put it into production. A weed is typically just a misplaced plant. Some plants are designed to be pioneering plants. In floriduh, there is a plant called red root. It seems to be a weed, but studies have shown that while it takes a disturbed area (man creates ), it actually stabilizes the soil and gives way when other species recover. it's a tricky thing to say "this is the way it is" in science.... new data is always coming in.

So is weed a "weed"? Yes, I think it qualifies, although man has found a use for it. MJ is a weed botanically. It may be a "pioneering" plant as well. That part I have not studied.

i have found that if i let mine sit for at least a month before germing i get a much better success rate.

Well you can either wait or plant it now, both result gonna be good.

true for one reason or another, even though you would think they would germ. fastest right after you pop them out the seed caseing its best to wait a while, i just let them sit in a dark dry drawr for two weeks or so then they germ fine, and i put the rest of the beans in a pill bottle for future use!! i think they need to dry off or harden abit before the shit becomes real viable in germination

in the wild they go thru 6 months of freezing winter rain and frost before they pop in the spring.


i tried them straight off the vine. fully browned and ripened. they fell right off when touched. i had 50% success rate. i waited a month on the SAME BATCH of seeds and had 100% success rate. this was only a 1 time experiment, but i feel confident with the results.

That's true enough but I think strains may vary the incubation period as well as the climate conditions. If the seed senses good conditions (soil temp), it will sprout. I had pollinated some of my fem's this year and already have babies in the container form dropped seed.

I think it depends on many variables..... the deep south is basically immune to hibernation techniques.

you had babies, but i bet you had unhatched ones as well.

i said 50%.


i have to go back to the "FUCK" thread now.

the F*ck thread?? The life of a MOD is not enviable....

Yes it may well be 50%.... I don't know. Certainly a months wait is doable in the deep south for almost any month of the year. The grow will vary but germ will occur. Not so in MinnesoDa.

the life of a MOD? how about the life of a simple forum poster. ha ha

I meant job... not life. I figured you wouldn't miss that...
