Are all floaters immature?
I've been saving seeds from ~25 varieties of tomatoes. I'm using the fermentation method and for some varieties more than half the seeds float. In particular, Sophies Choice (90%) and Ace 55 (100%). The floaters look to be the same size and shape as the sinkers. I usually ferment between 5 and 8 days.
Also, I haven't noticed an explicit sorting/floating step in the various oxy-clean methods. How important is it to discard floating seeds? |
