cool thanks for all the great replies. how long after the seeds are harvested can they be germinated?

Until they are dry im guessing.

hey guys and gals. im back with an update. its been about 3 weeks since i chopped my lr#2 buds.most of the seeds i got look really mature.fat with the typical markings on them.like i said its been a little over 3 weeks since i cut them and i harvested the seeds not long after that. the other day i tried to germ a couple and nothing happened.didnt even crack.

now ive heard some people say u can plant seed as soon as u harvest and some people say you have to let them sit for a few months.im hoping this is the case with my Lr#2's because those seeds arent cheap. is this something that varies from strain to strain. can anyone enlighten me? does anyone have any experience with the lr#2 seed?

i just ran a seed crop, and i germed some that were only 2 weeks old

Seeds can be germed as soon as the buds can dry. Some seeds are just hard to crack. Try using a fingernail file or sandpaper and file down the edges of the seed a little bit.

I've even had a few seeds that were so hard that I actually had to crack them myself then placed in wett paper towel and a day later had taproots.

Hey this sounds like something seed producers would not want you to know.
My one exprience with an autoflowering strain was through a freebie and
because you canot clone them i have not purchased any.
what I was wondering is if you start with a feminized strain do you lose that trait.
Also I take it any male will do but I preferably with good traits and genetics.

I've got some Diesel ryder (autoflowering) females that, one of which, I'm going to hermie, with the help of Colloidal silver. Wont need to buy seeds for a while, and I wont have to filter out the males, cuz all the seeds will produce female plants, if they produce anything at all

whats the percentage on that, I thought you would also run the risk of having more hermy's or hermies
