@Poekie so you do auto breeding as well?
Also - we are up to around 45 seeds now lol, crazy didnt expect that many. Still got at-least another 20 left on the plant still maturing.
Hi there, yes for quite a few years now making different auto crosses.
Every year adding some new ones, keeping the best and getting rid of the rest.
So about your seeds that dont germinate, maybe this is helpful.
After harvesting and drying the plants i start taking the seeds out, if humidity is high i switch on the dehumidifier, then they go through the checking part.
I never take seeds out of a living plant, always first harvest and dry.
All seeds, once dry, i slightly press with my finger, if they break they were empty or not fully developed.
I repeat that process 2 or 3 times until no seeds break.
By then my seed check finger is usually starting to hurt.
But i love it when someone tells me from 100 of my seeds, all 100 germinated.
Not saying this is the best way, it just works well for me.
