I just tried to germ 8 seeds 5 days after chop. 7/8 popped, i just cracked the last one with my teeth, so we will see, but still thats 87.5% germ rate.

I've had outdoor buds sprout their own seeds' roots.

They didn't take well initially so beware.

I've also germed seeds about a week after coming off the plant this year(did a winter seedgrow which finished a bit later as planned), most germed fine, although the germratio was a little lower(around 80-90%).

I expect seed dormancy will not be an issue with most strains, but maybe you'll run into it with some wilder landraces. losing of seed dormancy is a common domestication effect(for domesticated crops in general, not specifically weed). but I can imagine that a more feral 'strain' that grows wild in an area with a winterseason could have more dormancy.

btw, I've also had white seeds that germed fine, but might be strainrelated. mother was kumaoni, seeds were taking pretty long to ripen, they were nice and big but still not dark, eventually I had only a few well ripened seeds when I had to chop, so I decided to just try out all those white/green seeds(only threw out the ones that felt light/hollow) and most germed.
