The title says it, I just received a batch of OG Kush seeds, but they were harvested about 3 weeks ago. When I can germinate them? I really hope I can do it now, 'cause I'm just at the time to start the next vegetation.
When are new seeds ready for germination?

3-4 weeks is fine...if there dry ..they will lose the dark colour they had when wet and will turn a lighter colour....u can germ fresh seeds aswell but the germ rate won't be good...about 30-40% will germ and the rest won't.....as tekdc911 said the longer there drying the better the germ rate...hope this helps

They look very ripe and has fallen off the plan by them selves, I guess that's signs of healthy germination?
In fact, I got other seeds too, these are about twice if not maybe triple in size in comparison and look super dope, haha.

Sure thing, but by in the fridge, how cold was there?

This I like...sure I've heard of guys firing off, quick as ...but the germ results were pitiful, I can't prove it, but IMHO,I do think they need some space, like a rest.. implying in human eyes that the drier the seeds are before germination, the further from the mother plant they are or should read the more dead the previous generation is...the less crowded the grow are is, the more food waiting ..but thats human thinking for you? ..lol
besides you can busy yourself getting the site ready as theres always improvements to be made?
I store mine in the crisper box. Whatever temperature that is. Not the freezer, just the fridge.

I see, thank you all!
How come you question your thinking at the end? It makes perfect sense. Plants etc have evolved to survive and propagate...

Yeah, plants will be here long after the human race has destroyed itself - the blastwave from all those Chinese nukes will be the ultimate wind dispersal system!!

putting them in the fridge will not dry your seeds...if anything your stopping them from drying......seeds should only be kept in cold storage after there dry properly and preserving them for long periods of time....

I harvest over 1000 beans my last run of crosses I made and I let my beans dry for over 3 months in a dark attic. During that time I tried to germ around the 1st month of them being dry and I had about 1 out of every 6 pop then after 3 months I tried again and now I have about a 98-99% germ rate now. I have not the slightest clue why the beans do that.
