can you plant seeds right after you harvest them?

can you germinate them right away? or do you have to let them sit to simulate winter or something?

I usually lay them out to dry to prevent mold but they have sprouted after falling off the mother before.

they look like it can go down straight away but some will say you have to keep them under the pillow in toothpaste tube for 3 years...but the true is the quicker you stick it to the soil the better plant you will have..think !!

Good question, i am interested as to the input on this one.
Myself, i usually harvest them and put them in Refridgerator before use, but that usually is more than 6 months.. So i am not too sure how early, or even if it makes a difference as to when you try to germinate them. That said, nature dictates another season until they would be germinated. Hmmmnnnn

Happy Germinating.

dry for 3 weeks and good to germ!that is the basic rule of thumb...

If it is a mature seed it will sprout. I have sprouted them right off the mother.

Dudes n dude et's ....when do i stop feeding before harvest...new grower n all that all experimental and i know not much ...help !!!

freezing will kill it..eh

2 weeks to 10 days

if the seeds are ready they will fall off the plant when you shake it. they will be dry at that point and ready to plant.
but i just read somewhere on the internet to leave them in a dark, cold and drafty room with the tv on for 6 months to simulate winter.

Lol ok well guys I breed dj short blue moonshine with a kenn granddaddy purp.I got about 10 beans and ready to germ.so I put the seeds in a nice dry warm place aka on top of the cable box in a medical container for a week I think I'll give her another week

Orellej's first two sentences were dead on. However he neglected to tell you to leave the TV on An educational channel. Peace & be kind.

the op's question made me wonder. since he didn't know if the beans could be used right away, how much does he know about growing? (no disrespect intended.) i wondered cause if he didn't know that, how did he know how to pollenate? and if he "didn't" pollenate, how did the plant get seeded? if he didn't pollenate, then it sounds like maybe the plant hermmed. if that's the case, why germ. the beans? the beans won't be any good... hummmmmmm.......
