Wow BP...just awed by that pic. Looks like an early winter.
Mr. Amos Otis, please tell me after one pollinates the flowers, from that point, how long will it take or be before you see any signs of seed/seeds starting to form ? Thanks man... I might of screwed up be placing collected pollen in a pill bottle and then packed in uncooked rice in the middle of a glass jar with a tight lid. It was placed in the frig for nearly 4 weeks till I took it out and let it sit opened for a hour before pollinating a female with the paint brush method. But, its been 4 1/2 weeks now and I don't see anything that might look like the starting of seeds.......?
I haven't been following along, amigo. I'll hand your question off to these other folks.Mr. Amos Otis, please tell me after one pollinates the flowers, from that point, how long will it take or be before you see any signs of seed/seeds starting to form ?

If the pollen was viable you would see signs of pollination within the first week. The pistils would turn brown and recede back where it was pollinated at. If it's been 4 weeks and you don't see no seeds then the pollen was no good as it only takes 4-6 weeks to get fully mature beansMr. Amos Otis, please tell me after one pollinates the flowers, from that point, how long will it take or be before you see any signs of seed/seeds starting to form ?

Huh? So 3-4 weeks to see signs of seeds?I think its 3-4 weeks after being pollinated
Right on brother! They'll look shriveled and burnt if she takes. Make sure to do it as early as possible for plump mature seeds.If the pollen was viable you would see signs of pollination within the first week. The pistils would turn brown and recede back where it was pollinated at. If it's been 4 weeks and you don't see no seeds then the pollen was no good as it only takes 4-6 weeks to get fully mature beans
I said "i think" 3-4 weeks after pollination you should see seeds not signs, i remember reading ,there were no answer at that time was just my 2 cents from what ive read im not a breeder, how long after pollination will seeds be produced? not signs of itHuh? So 3-4 weeks to see signs of seeds?
That is very inaccurate.
4-6 weeks for mature seeeds? So that means there should be seeds 3-4 weeks after pollination, seems i wasnt so inaccurate after allIf the pollen was viable you would see signs of pollination within the first week.

If it's been 4 weeks and you don't see no seeds then the pollen was no good as it only takes 4-6 weeks to get fully mature beans
If pistils are not receding then chances are you did not successfully store the pollen. Sounds like your method of pollen storage wasn't necessarily bad though. I do know a lot of people struggle to keep the moisture out of it. It doesn't take make to make it useless.Mr. Amos Otis, please tell me after one pollinates the flowers, from that point, how long will it take or be before you see any signs of seed/seeds starting to form ?

Two of my all-time favorites - great choices. I've got Chucky pencilled in for a return date in mid summer. Will take clones of several regs, a few Chucky's among them, and sex them outside around 8 / 1. The sun is like having another closet for 3 months.After three days in the breeding chamber, with a Cerberus male, my girls are all kinds of knocked up
