Seedy buds - dry first or squeeze out the seeds wet?

[Cuddles]

I would cure them like any other seed. then you can put them in a bag or little jar

not without a dessicant..

I have some 62% humidity sachets I can use

when i collect plant seeds I leave them to dry open air for as long as possible

 

[exploziv]

but seeds would need to get way lower than that. those would probably harm them, as they also release humidity. A dessicant only absorbs it, leaving them in a low rh condition to dry. Better spread them on "newspaper".. simple, as been done for generations..

you should let them dry at least a week before sealing them , also put in frig for long time storage

Cheers for the advice
I dried the G13 Widow male buds for a couple of days then put them in a jar and gave them a shake and these came out
There's still plenty left on the buds which I assume will shake free once they're a bit dryer
They seem to be bigger than the ones I purchase on line

those are some nice looking seed

Is it ok to age/dry them in a sealed ziplock bag?

Not if the bracts or seeds are still damp or moist. If you seal them up before they're truly dry (exterior, shell, bract, etc.) you'll see mold, mold, and more mold.

bugman52 --I put the seeds in a baggie not sealed and leave them a few weeks like that to dry. Then into the fridge in a tupperware or similar container that is airtight.

I got the rest of the G13 Widow seeds out
For such a small plant there was a lot of seed
I think next time I will fertilize 1 bud only
It was only a test really. Not even sure I will use these but it seems a crime to biff them

I keep a small ziplock bag near the rolling tray or whatever and collect the seeds as I use up the buds. The ziplock is sealed based on my risk assessment of me knocking the baggie over and having the seeds fly all over the place being much more likely than losses due to the seeds drying too slow, also the buds are in a jar before being used.
