CheechChongReturns Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 As I have some plants that are pollinated (2 weeks in ) and they are out in the high sun , I was wondering if there are any pros or cons to the seed production given that the sun intensity , angle and UV is higher than september ? I know the bud can become more foxtailed and reduce the seed numbers slightly , but is there any adverse effect on the seeds? @brock1 @panik @Ch@ppers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real difference you will get is a slightly higher fertility rate because of lower humidity ect. The seedling inside the seed will be exactly the same as a seed made later in the year in every other way 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheechChongReturns Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 @brock1 like music to my ears mate. I was reading up on seed longevity and the census from the research suggests seeds last longer if they have a lower water content when stored . Do you think I could benefit from the lower humidity in this regard too ? hope so . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate the think is all seeds are a little overly damp when harvested or a lot would fall before harvested if dried on the plant. Curing is the important parts. I find a week in a tub of dry rice in the fridge for a fortnight before bagging helps a lots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheechChongReturns Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 @brock1 that makes sense. Nice one mate . No rush with these . I can afford to take my time with a good slow dry first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
