New Grower how long do fresh auto seeds rest before they can be used

[mok]

I've made a seedrun with short term amnesia and would like to try making them
2 times outdoors here in Denmark believe I can achieve it.
my question is how long they need to dry and can you put them in the freezer to make them ready to sow
or can I only use them for next year:no:
help me please

Hey Mok...if you are going to keep your seeds for storage in the fridge...dry them meaning let them sit out in the house somewhere thats not humid(dry) for about a month..If you put them in the fridge just after harvest they may not be any good..I cant tell you about the frezzer I have heard it was poss but also heard some bad things about it..fridge is your best bet..after their dry 4 weeks or more I put them in vials or bags with some rice to keep them dry. Put those seeded bags in a tupaware or mason jar into the fridge in the crisper or vegetable bin..as for planting them just after harvest I had it work and not work..best to try if youhave enough seeds if not a week or 2 should do..Mind I believe that homemade seeds are a bit harder than the ones bought from seedbanks you may have to nick or scratch the seed a lil to help germination..Hope this helps

I put mine on a plate and cover with a paper towel (so dust and such dont get on them) for 2 weeks at normal room temp(75-76F or so), then put then in small ziplock bags with a small piece of paper towel to make sure they stay dry then place that inside a jar, store in my cold room that stays a constant 63-64F for long term storage...after 4 more weeks in storage they can be used no problem... using this method I get 10/10 germ rates 95+% of the time, and they last for years...

now a few tips I have learned that may help you out...

for single branch pollination I separate out the males when I'm ready to pollinate I place my male top in a zip lock bag and shake it around for 10sec or so it will be full of pollen then I take my girl and place the bag over one limb zipping it up to the stem and give it a few good shakes take the bag off after 1 min. DO NOT leave it on any longer... now you have 1 limb seeded and the rest of the plant not...

let the seeds about fall from the buds before you take them even if you have to cut the rest down and just leave the seeded limb that way you know there fully mature when you pick them, also let them dry in the bud there in... after the bud is dried then you can remove them a lot easier and I think germ rates are higher, something about them drying more natural then pulling them out of wet bud... anyway good luck with your seed project...
