Exclamation i shot myself in the foot!

so yesterday i was looking for something to do
and i was thinking "hey self you have that huge bucket of seeds why dont you go through and throw out all the obviously non-viable seeds and put the good ones in some sort of vacuum bag"

so i take my bucket outside to soak some rays and smoke some jays and sort mah seeds


but

yes thats right kids there is a but the dreaded but

i started to sort.
then, being the relatively short attention spanned person that i am....i got distracted, yes DISTRACTED! i say, by a tasty looking pack of hot dogs in my fridge and i completely forgot about the seeds. i was only about a 1/4 of the way through since it is a relatively large bunch of seeds(id say about 3000-4000).

so today i wake up and am like "hey self what should we do today?"

and then i go outside to check on my babies and do the routine when i notice the bucket sitting outside

most of you by this time are saying "ok this guy left a bucket of seeds outside whats so bad?"

however being in the tropical paradise where i am (south florida) it rains and it just so hapens it rained last night and lo and behold my bucket of seeds is full of water

SHOT
SELF
IN
FOOT

luckily it didnt fill enought to let the floating beans spill over the side

however now about 3/4 of my seedstock is wet and im panicky as all hell and am trying to dry them the best i can and am hoping i just didnt totally assrape myself with a sandpaper condom and no lube





DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!



please o please o please help meh

Depending on how much water your seeds imbibed you should be ok.

In fact, many commercial seeds for flowers are soaked, then quick-dried before shipping to the greenhouse.

On the other hand, at a certain point it the point-of-no-return and the seeds will germinate or die.


Use as many as you can, and the rest try to quick-dry on a screen in the sun or something



Best of luck.

haha, funny that...

Yeh, get 'em planted for an early outdoor start

Shit, that doesn't help at all, sorry but we just got relief from our new baby, he decided to stop crying ... [which he has done for the last 10 or so hours, we almost took him to the hospital ... he's fast asleep now after a humongous shite ].


Soooo ... i is baked!

I still say plant 'em all! go for a walk somewhere and find a few sites, hell ... get in the car or borrow one off a mate, find those sites!
Blimey just think of the journaledge to be had

Try to dry 'em out and watch out for the ones that crack?

Best of luck
