seeds-germination Viable seed question

[7potbeast]

I saved some fresh pepper(7 pot brain strain, 7 pots, ghost, yellow ghost, reaper, and scotch bonnets to dehydrate and save seeds. Made the mistake and dehydrated on to high of temp and I read that this kills the seed. I still have a bunch of 7 pots that I didn't put in the freezer or dehydrate so at least I can still grow those. The question I have is are the peppers I froze still able to give me viable seeds? Should I cut seeds out and do germination test or am I wasting my time?

My guess is the frozen ones faired better than the dehydrator. Do a germ test with damp paper towel in a baggies on a heat pad @85F

Hey, 15 minutes of your time could result in some beautiful plants and hopefully new pods. Cheap investment if you ask me. Good luck!

You think? I'll do it, if they don't germinate at least I still have a ton of 7 pots to plant. Thank you!
