My first seed pods finally cracked open :)

UMM..So i crossed my N. max x (north x veit) with an N. boschiana. The seed pods swelled and finally have cracked open. Does this mean for sure that seeds it produced are viable? Any advice. I sewed them as soon as i saw them crack, i know it keep the germination rate higher.. Thanks guys

You know they are ripe and once they germinate, then you will know they are viable, but not before then.

If the seed is plump and solid in the middle, kinda like a pregnant worm, that is definitely a good sign that they could very well be viable.

Good luck with your seeds DBT...those seeds could make for some very pretty plants.
