After searching every subject I could find about storing seeds in baggies and correct drying, I'm still a little sketchy on how dry is dry enough and can you get seeds too dry? These have been drying in the cones for over a week. I'm sure it's different for different seeds and these seem to be quite small with feathery outsides, so are these dry enough? They must be different from, say a maple seed.

Update:

The seeds came through just fine with no mold. I didn't do anything but left them in a paper bag for a week.

Soaked some and put in the fridge to cold stratify but don't know if they really need that from what I've read.

Edit: 2-7-19

I had an extra bag of these seed so soaked them 24 hrs. and spread them over pure perlite then covered with a thin layer of perlite. Moistened it all and put them in a container in the Fridge.

I put one of the 2-6-19 trays on the heat mat today. It had 30 days in the fridge and it may be too early to start seeds, depending on the weather but I have so many of these Thuja seeds, I can try more later. :-)

All that I put in starting mix germinated. Some that were stratified and some right out of the baggie. [See HERE[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/can-i-use-this-right-out-of-the-bag-dsvw-vd~5635105?n=8) for germination thread. :0)
