Hi,

If you really want to experiment with all this and if you don't take it waaay to seriously you should read this thread

It's a bit long, but I think you will find it helpfull!

And another thing, you really don't need an autoclave to sterilize! You don't even need a presure cooker.. I can make you a guide to sterilizing using a normal large sized pot and some silicone if you would like

If you just cover the seed pods with a filter of some sort as described above you can store them for a little while till you are ready!

It reallt isn't as terribly difficult as it sounds - I promise!
