Its 18hrs ago but I would of said soak them in water for 24hrs which is what I always do anyway.I guess you still could for several hours but I dont it will be an issue.

alcohol evaporates fast, thankfully... i would add any more moisture to the problem.. as the moisture is the potential problem. Once dry if they don't germinate all is well. I wouldn't worry too much after that. I OCD kicks in, a dry cloth might remove any residue left on surface. if it absorbs enough water, it'll germinate, so don't add more moisture. Also, why spraying seeds with anything? Over-thinking it and manufacturing potential problems.... trying to remove organic bits for storage? Use a box with a slope.. seeds roll to bottom, flakey stuff stays at top.. remove, rotate, repeat a few times and it's clean enough for storage.

don;t know how or why this would happen but rinse them off in water and re dry them. DO NOT LET THEM SOAK. Soaking the seeds or having them wet for long periods will activate the enzymes in the seed shell and it will start the germination process. stopping it early can cause issues in the seeds shell protective abilities and the seed might be bunk. Do a germination test after they are all dry. Take out 3-10 seeds and try and germinate them in a paper towel after a few weeks of storage after drying. Keep em in a cool dark spot.

AS LONG AS YOU LET THEM DRY OUT MOST SHOULD STILL BE GOOD, I DID THE SAME THING ONCE AND ABOUT 9 OUT OF 10 GERMINATED STILL

1st why were you spraying 400 seeds with anything. Why do you have 400 seeds ? If they are stuff you bought why were they not in their own packs? If they was random seeds from your bud why do you care you probably have a million more

The alcohol probably won't hurt since you rinsed them but early germination is a worry if you're not planting them right away. Watch them to see if any crack open....those should be planted immediately. Keeping them cool will help prevent them from germinating too.

Hi Falls die Samen nur kurz besprüht und anschließend gründlich mit Wasser gespült wurden, könnten sie noch eine Chance haben. Und nach dem du sie mit Wasser gewaschen hast, einfach gut trocknen und warscheinlich überleben viele von ihnen

The water might be an issue as well. once the seeds are wet, theyre going to try and germinate potentially
