I'm saving some seeds and have put them in a jar but some of them are floating but I believe they are because they are stuck to the pulp. Here's a pic of the jar showing what I'm talking about. Should I just stir them up a bit to get them to sink? Oh, how long to leave them in the jar, I've read anywhere from 2 days to 5 days?

Nevermind, I stirred it and almost all of them sank to the bottom.

Don't stir it anymore...you have to wait about 4 days until you see a 'scum/mold' on the top.
