Greenpod

[ericst11]

I am tring to figure out when i can get mature seeds out of a greenpod the earliest because the last time i think i did it to early but i have still no contaminates so i'm doing something right i just need mature seeds i have a Cattleya violacea and Sophronitis cenua and some crosses i made in the Cattleya family and it has been 90days? Does anyone know.

It varies, but 90 days is probably too soon. There is a secondary swelling of the capsule as the embryos mature. Sometime after (or during) this swelling, but before yellowing is optimal. Check out this site to get an idea of the time frames: SPECIES
