Lmao,not that many. Plants were only maybe 20inches tall,was hoping for 20-30 seeds per plant but I feel like its going to be more than that,lol.

I was also hoping for 20-30 seeds a plant. Ended up with 200-300 a plant hahahaha

I like to go with at least 5 weeks for the seeds to be mature enough to grow. Even longer if you can make it.
Yeah they went a day or 2 over 5wks from being pollinated,I woulda let em go a bit longer but I needed the room in the flower tent and the few seeds I test picked were mature and didn't squish when pressed so I gave em the chop and should be processing buds to retrieve seeds this weekend.

Be sure to dry them for 4-6 weeks before doing yer test grow. It makes a big difference in germ rates and seedling health/vigor.
Yeah that's what I've heard and plan on doing,it will probably even be longer than that as I have many other beans to crack but I will want to test em out somewhat in case I decide to give any out.

Seeds take 4/5 weeks 5 on the safe side

I keep seeing people say to dry them 4 weeks but I've made 1000s of seeds if not more. Every time I germ test a batch and it's usually the somewhat pale ones right after harvest. I always get 90/100 % germ rates

Lots of info on the net that people just seem to regurgitate without actual facts

Yeah I've heard of people getting good germ rates right after harvest too,thnx.

All seeds, regardless of type need to be dried to be effectively stored. This is not rocket science, its a rudimentary procedure that needs to be done to ensure long term viability of the seed lot.

What does the process of drying seeds entail??? How much different than drying buds???

Two grows back I opted to make some crosses. Was thinking along the same lines as you guys of wanting like 50 seeds...but well for some reason I just did the whole grow and am now looking at...100s to 1000s of seeds. Biggest issue I have come across on them is a lot of plants with poor calyx to leaf ratio and that is important to me as I hate trimming, so further refining needed all around other than a ghost train haze cross, that one came out bangarang. No real keepers last time so popping more seeds I go.

I give plants at least 6 weeks from pollination, will take them past the normal harvest window if necessary.
