How do tell when a plants seeds are ready?

So i have a plant that has been pollinated, about 30ish days ago, I cant tell you when Im not sure when the first pollen sack opened.


I know what a healthy seed looks like.

My plant has tons of seed growing every on her, some are popping out of their little resin covered pod.
But How do you tell if they are ready to be cut off and dried?
anything to look for?

no one? ):

I wait to 'harvest' them until I can see them. If you also give the pollinated bud a little shake some may even fall out. I've planted seeds immediately after harvesting them and they sprouted soon after. Some people say to wait, but I tried it and had no problems doing so. Hope that helps.

I think once they look dark and are popping out of their sacks they are ready.

give them 5-6 weeks from pollination and the seeds will be ripe along with the buds. i recently cut down a seeded plant (From breeding experiment) that could have went a week longer, since i was in a rush to start the batch of seeds i lost out on about 100 or so of them.

if your beans are green, even if they're full sized, it's too early. i made that mistake already. i've tried to pop my C99 x C99s a few times so far and gotten nada. i didn't time my harvest. i just tore it up when it looked like my ladies weren't getting any fatter.

the next time i grow, i'm keeping track of stuff! sometimes, what seems like a year is really just a month.

Lol I have been keeping track of the times and stuff, but I didnt keep track of the time the plant got pollinated, Im guesssing about 30ish days ago.
I did pull one seed that "looked" ready off, it wasnt, lol the tweezers i used to pull it off squished the seed and it was just green on the outside, and a gross white shit on the inside
So I will wait until I harvest my non pollinated females,

i always wait until seeds start popping off the plant, and i keep a dish beneath just in case some fall, because you might not notice it and they will start to grow. 7 weeks is the longest ive waited for seeds, but that was under some weak cfl's.

Well the plant is under 3 CFLs lol So Im expecting it to take longer than normal lol

well, im talking about under 8 x 24 watt bulbs. so terrible lighting with bad lumen output.

Lol that alitle better then me unless youre talking aobut t8's O.O

So here is are some pictures of the seeds that I was able to pull off without much effort.
Most of them kinda just needed a little movement and they fell right out of the pod.

They look pretty healthy to me. but I want someone opinion

They look viable to me. Plant em.

I will soon, I read that its best to let them sit out and dry for like 5 days.
So thats what im doin'
and I already have enough plants at the moment. (not enough soil) ):

Eh I read the same thing and planted 10 immediately after, all sprouted within 2 days. Different folks different strokes ya dig'?
