Germination rate fresh seeds

[Superauto]

I have approx 50 seeds from my first grow with hard surface, looking nice and healthy. What are the expected germination rate for fresh seeds like these?

about how fresh we talking? freshly harvested seeds?

Yes, few days ago

It's best to let them dry out for a few weeks in my experience. Leave them on a paper plate or in a paper envelope in your room preferably not in direct strong light. Good luck

I would also put them in the refrigerator for a couple weeks too.

The term for this is escaping me. Hopefully someone will have it in their mind as well.

I think you’re thinking “stratification”, a cold treatment. As far as I know it’s not necessary for cannabis.

I also like to let seeds sit and dry for a bit.

I let fresh seeds dry at room temp for a week and then store them away in my refrigerator.

Seeds do best like others mentioned after being stratified in the refrigerator for a few weeks at least.

I would let them sit for 3 weeks or so. Germ rates now could be way under half of what you should get when they dry out a bit.
