Isn’t Romulan Ale blue? Lol, fitting. My little zen zone in my bedroom. The Romulans are happy, stems are a little weak from shotty light and no wind but they are happy

Can’t wait to get these. I’m not allowed anything else direct to be sent after Romulan and Romulan x PTK , so gonna be awhile before I’m able to get anything else.

@Pigeonman does that really work? I’ve used a seed box twice and found it was a pain in the ass this is very intriguing

@TopShelfTrees1 100% if you have good motor skills. I 'll never make a seed sifter now after trying the vacuum bottle mwthod.

Sweet! Gracias, I even just bought a new vacuum before Christmas so I have a dedicated seed sucker now. Thanks for sharing

I’m confused and the video’s in another language so that didn’t help; how does this actually work? What the hell is the plastic bottle supposed to do? It’s not narrow enough to stop seeds from getting through, is it? Do you just accept that you’re gonna lose some of the seeds because they get sucked up by the vacuum? What do motor skills have to do with it?

The seeds weigh considerably more than the shucked material etc. therefore the beans fall back down the kaka gets sucked up into the vacuum. I’m sure you get seeds sucked in but very very few. The bottle just opens up the suction path making the seeds weight enough to not make it into the hose. Hope that helps

The diameter of the bottle is larger than the diameter of the hose, so the windspeed in the bottle is lower than the windspeed in the hose.
With any airflow based separation technique, there will be a sweet spot where the maximum amount of chaff is removed while minimizing the amount of viable seeds that also get removed. It’s going to depend on the airflow in the region where separation occurs.

Ok, so you’re just diffusing the air flow and hoping gravity counteracts it. That makes sense, I guess… gotta wonder if this might work better with some sort of screen though. I wonder if cheesecloth might do it. I know plant matter still gets through my Buchner filter with G3 frit, so it should be able to make it through cheesecloth… at that point it’s just a matter of whether there’s enough tensile strengh. I guess the question is whether the airflow’s too dilute to pull plant matter through at that point, though.

For each seed run, the density and drag of seeds will be different, but should be higher density and less drag than the chaff. But if you have the system dialed in for seeds that are significantly heavier relative to their drag, then the system will not perform as well with seeds that are lighter relative to their drag.
It should help to start out with a bottle that is as tall and wide as possible. Then, incrementally reduce the diameter of the bottle used while maintaining the height of the bottle. Maintaining the height allows for a longer separation region where heavier seeds have more opportunity to fall out of the airflow. You can make multiple passes starting with larger attachment and working it smaller until you get the desired removal of chaff without sacrificing too many viable seeds.
Also, the seed/chaff must be very well broken up. Seeds with chaff material still stuck on them will have more drag, and will be more likely to get sucked into the vacuum.

I change the suction variable as follows:
- A hole in the bottle neck acting like a bong choke cutting down the suction strength. My thumb over = full suction, finger off = lessened
- The open end of the bottle floats over the seeds and chaff; i swirl the mass with the open overtop and all the chaff gets lifted up and away.
- When all the fluff is gone i place the bottle directly over the seedmass and “pop” them by lifting my finger on the choke rapidly to make the seeds swirl and dance inside the bottle but not enough to get pulled up and into the vacuum.
Next time i have the need to do this i’ll make up an instructional video. 
I use a 1gal water bottle for size reference.
