I wasn't sure about when to save the seed either; till I saw one opening up and pealing down. The seeds started to fall off fast by the next day. So I had to keep checking the other seed heads daily. I wanted to make sure I caught the rest of the heads because each head throws of at least 20 to 25 seeds, even when you only have 6 -7 plants growing; and I wanted to save some for trading too.
