Sorry, didnt know where to post this question so will just ask here :
Busy growing some seeds, they are currently at around 30 days (4 weeks) since pollination, the calyxes are splitting open and when I checked ripeness I was surprised to find about 50% of seeds are already germinating while still on the mother plant.
What is causing this? We did have some rain in the last 24 hours (they're outdoors) but I thought seeds would take average 6 weeks to mature?? Is there something I can do to stop the remaining seeds on the plant from sprouting? I have removed all seeds that are brown and looked ripe but still have quite a few immature ones left on the plant and wouldnt want them to sprout.
Looks like the universe wants me to do a massive grow as there is no way I can throw away or kill any of these sprouts, they my kids...
