If a seed is bursting out of its calyx, is it ready for the next grow?

Exactly that. If a seed is bursting out of the calyx whilst still on a budding plant, is it good to be plucked off for the next generation?

Also, do seeds take longer to mature than bud? My semi-educated guess thinks yes.

Sorry, I know this has been covered before but my search-fu is not on point tonight.

Look for the marbling on the seed. If it is still light beige then it ain't ready yet. If it is ready then stick it in the fridge for a week first before planting

It mimics winter for the seed

I've tried before with seeds straight off the plant & had a low success rate... but 6 month later I had near on 100% success

Thanks!!

Gotcha, thanks!

Had one failed seed that had marbling, but the marbling rubbed off of the seed like a poor quality water slide decal.

Gonna keep trying.

They should look & handle like shop bought seeds

That sounds reasonable

Thanks M_C.

It didn't twig last night.

I was like, "yeah, stick it in the fridge... I wonder if humidity would be an issue? Need one of those hygrometers ... But those Thai S1 seeds popped and they didn't go in the fridge... huh? Now if I get the seeds then they need some 6 weeks' vegging and that would be mid June at least before I could flip... I wonder how big they will be..."

And basically blah blah blah my mind went off on her own adventure, and I missed the WEEK bit, thinking it was 24 hours.

Did you mean calyx and auto correct stepped in?

The calyx is that bulb-like structure blob where the pistils come out of. Usually in sinsemilla there is nothing in there, or something no bigger than a poppy seed; but in pollinated bud, the seed grows inside that "bulb".

M_C, when the seeds come out of the fridge, do they need to re-acclimatise? Or do I just do the usual germination routine as though they were store bought seeds?
