I recently harvested a couple hundred seeds from my swiss plants.
I dried the seeds out for 24 hours and put them into glass vials.

4 days ago I tried germing a couple of them, but non of em are germing..
Im really fustrated as im planning to use these seeds for my outdoor summer grow. Someone heeelp!

is germing changing them at all so far? or do they just look a little darker and swollen?

What effect does germinating usually have on the seed itself? I'm at 24 hours, and the seeds appear to be exactly the same. It better work this time...

the seeds seem to be a slight bit darker, if at all the seeds seemed to have shrunk a bit.

I have realized that the perfect condition to germ a seed is if the tissue paper is not too soaked as it will suffocate the seed, putting them in a sealed area humidifies the seeds. keeping a close eye on the moisture as areas of the house seem to dry the tissue out faster than others.

my seeds didnt germinate for like like 3 days so i put them on a plate and put them on my computer tower(it gives off quite some heat) and they cracked over night. so maybe there just not worm enough.

I think the heating is not an issue as i have them on top of my laptop charger which is very warm.

But im more worried about how fresh the seeds are. The seeds have been harvested approximatly 2 weeks ago. You guys think its too early to try and germinate them? Im guessing it has to take some time to harden off before i start to germ them. Any ppl out there that have any experience in freshly harvested seeds?
