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.

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 If the seeds were only briefly sprayed and then thoroughly rinsed with water, they might still have a chance. And after you've washed them with water, just dry them well and probably many of them will survive.

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