When & how to harvest seeds?

[art fog]

My plants have begun to get yellow leafs & the seed pods are abundant still I am not sure what to do. Three questions come to mind;
1) When is the best time to harvest seeds?
2) Should I cure it, bring the plant in hang it upside down dry it before I pull them and put them into storage?
3) Do I have to dry the seeds first before planting or can they go into the soil immediately after harvest? thanks

When to harvest seeds

hey there art fog,

My current grow was a pollinating experimental overdose. The branches I used on each plant are LOADED with seeds. And the other branches have a fair amount also.

I used a paint brush to dab a bit here and there. It looks more like I used a paint roller, lol. Oh well I learned for next time. I still have some of the pollen and want to use it on the next grow of White Widow clones. The grow after that I hope to grow one of each of current crosses I just made. If at least one turns out primo smoke I might not have to buy seeds again.

Anyway, I was advised to just hang it like normal to dry and I did.
Also I put a few in between paper towels 2 days ago to see if they would sprout and 4 out of 4 are cracked today.

It sounds to me like a success. I pulled several thousand seeds from my escapade by just shaking the surrounding male branches. I have not tested these seeds yet but will soon. Now to get feminized seeds which I am working on now.
Keep me posted on your progress. You seem to be doing fine... and happy holiday.
