Cold Temps and Seed Making

[Cabl3t3ch]

Stay aware that if those beans are pretty far along they can actually germ inside the bud if too much moisture becomes trapped.

Never thought of that!!’ Going in my note book

It's wintertime and roots temps drop, how much effect does this have on seed production?
What happens to the quality of the seed?
Does it change and how much?
Are they still gonna be viable enough to save?

My winter temps are wild they get real low like down into the 30s at lights out and plants pollinated still produce tons of viable seed.

I just harvested some plants (day 65) and the branches that I attempted to pollinate are going for another week or two to make sure the seeds are ripe if there are any.

The most obvious difference is the calyx to leaf ratio is waaaaay lower. Super leafy but still frosty. No pics cause the shame is too great.

The cold temps never bothered production. Got way more than anticipated.

I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I'm also using a wimpy light for the job too.

Bottom line: I'm making my big mistakes now so the little things that pop up are not as bad. Unless it's mold, then you're fucked. (At least to me)
