Hey all, So i have a problem. I am at the 8th week of flowering some super silver haze.

Hydroponic Set up : light Lucas formula with additives. indoor closet. CLF. about 100W of light.

So i started flowering this plant with three other Ambrosia plants. Two turned male, so i decided to get some hybrid seeds. I figured that the genetics would be pretty good, as Ambrosia is a mix of God Bud and Romulan if im not mistaken. and SSH is also a sative/indica hybrid. So i figured if i could get a strong plant that might finish a little earlier than SSH i would be happy ( with thousands of seeds hahahahhaha ).

So for the first week i had the plants together in the closet ( SSH female and two Ambrosia males) the SSH was in hydro so it had lots of hairs out early. the Ambrosia was taken after dropping a few pollen bombs.

now im starting to see that these seeds are fully formed, dark brown/black with intricate designs on them. seem like normal seeds to me.

So what im wondering is how long do i have to wait to germinate these seeds? Or is there a method that i can use to ensure that they will germinate. ( like pretending its been a long cold winter in the freezer?)

I have a shit load of these seeds. have about 20 from a lower bud i took just so i could sprout some beans soon. and the rest of the plant i can expect a few hundred/ thousand.

I have already dropped a few in a towel and am waiting patiently. On the internet i actually could not find a fucking clue about the time period after harvest and new germination. I was hopping to find some advice here.

Thanks

A bit impatient are we?

"I" usually dry seeds in a paper bag for a few weeks to over a month or so, in a cool dark place. Fresh seeds are not likely to germinate.

After they are fully dry, I put them in something like a film can, along with some dry rice and then into the veggie crisper (NOT the freezer), for a few weeks or longer for that 'winter' effect. They will keep almost forever like this. Just make sure they are well dried before the fridge.
