Well...I've been producing seed for sometime now and just wondering what other chuckers have been doing to optimize seed humidity levels before throwing their beans into long term storage...

Most of my stuff I've targeted planting in the ground in the next few years so it hasnt been a concern..

I'll typically remove my seed from the buds once it has been hung to dry in a cool dark place for 7-10 days..Once the seeds have been remived from the buds I'll either place them in paper envelopes (porosity important), or on a plate to dry for an additional 4 weeks or so...

Looking at some recent articles gives me the impression I could cut my seed dry time by a week or two..as they dont need to dry as
Long as Ive been taking...looks like 8-12 days depending in RH ...Anyone out there been
more methodical with their seed drying?

once my seeds are dry I pop them into pill bottles, test tubes or centrifuge tubes..top the containers up with rice..and put them down in a cold room...

I have been messing with a lemon cookies male for awhile and it brings some amazing traits to its crosses . Might be the easiest weed I ever trimmed . Pretty neat to see the creator of it has finally released his next step with that line 622D60D0-75A1-4847-9856-26E04A430E87.png

That sounds killer, bud. Love the name.
We ran some purple urkle x cherry cookies from hammerhead that I nicknamed laura winslow's cookies.

I dry for 10-14 days. You don't want to lose too much moisture in the embryo for long term storage. My favorite method is to let them dry in the buds though. Germination rates are always super high when I do that and the hull seems a little different in a good way. You don't see many that want to get the stuck helmet thing.
