Thats wuts up. I googled seed dormancy, pretty interesting stuff how life has plan for survival.
I've also germed seeds about a week after coming off the plant this year(did a winter seedgrow which finished a bit later as planned), most germed fine, although the germratio was a little lower(around 80-90%).
I expect seed dormancy will not be an issue with most strains, but maybe you'll run into it with some wilder landraces. losing of seed dormancy is a common domestication effect(for domesticated crops in general, not specifically weed). but I can imagine that a more feral 'strain' that grows wild in an area with a winterseason could have more dormancy.
btw, I've also had white seeds that germed fine, but might be strainrelated. mother was kumaoni, seeds were taking pretty long to ripen, they were nice and big but still not dark, eventually I had only a few well ripened seeds when I had to chop, so I decided to just try out all those white/green seeds(only threw out the ones that felt light/hollow) and most germed.
Please help ,
Im having a loong flowering Strain , somewher between 14 and 20 weeker Sativa, wich i wanna open pollinate. I Have 2 Males, of wich one is ALREADY STARTING POLLINATING slightly.. i saw dust coming out.. But my FEMALES HAVENT EVEN DEVELOPED SIDEBRANCHES, JUST LEAFES...
WILL MALE MAKE POLLENSACKS LONGER NOW? Or not? How many Sacks more, and how Long you think it will do that? Again, Males and Females are same Strain, so actually males shouldnt come to early i suggest... but you never know.
Have only photo of females 2 weeks earlier taken, but i place a Male-Photo that Looks similar
Similar Male to mine: View Image
Females (the ones most behind right outed as males 2 weeks later, or call it now... but that shows how my females look.. only Leaves) :

Please Help, These are highly wanted genetics.. Can Males come to early? or is this unlikely to happen..?
Yes, but they are like bammbo-thin, i dont know if new Pollensacks Reform as thin as they look, and due to dooing it first time, i dont wanna risk my collected Pollen ...Leafing Stems behind, wich dont rebuild Sacks 2nd Time and leafe emptyhanded...
Can someone confirm that a Landrace 20 Weeker Sativa wouldnt show such strange behaviour and come to early?
Will there be more Sacks later? This is crutial when collecting the few Pollen. I with my Artistbrush cant pollinate so much Plants, as Nature can , i suggest (i have a couple other Females in other Spot waiting for this Pollen i talk about here).
Where do you see more Risk? Couldnt i actually just let the Male savely doo its Thing..?
So will there form more Pollensacks for that after i empty the current Pollsacks???? Thanx Mohadib , and all others
