HYB: pod ripening

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I am curious if any of you have
looked at germination rates as related to stage of pod development at harvest.
In other words, do seeds from pods left on the plant until the stalk dries and
the pod is minutes from opening on its own germinate better than those
harvested from still green pods on healthy stalks, just as they begin to 'look
ready.'  

What is the consensus of how many weeks from pollination to harvest
is average?
