Hey,
First things first, iam so close to chop my plants. and i already got like 4 branches ( to see if they’re ready the seeds).
How can i seperate the seeds from the green small pieces of weed?
How can i then get them out there?
Maybe some tips to get this done easy?
Second question, is there any way i could
do u wanna see a grow diary, or nobody want’s to see that?
It would be 2 grows
120x120 (4x4)
60x60 (2x2).
120x120:
5x Black Kush - Khalifa Genetics
1x Marshmellow OG - Compound Genetics
6x15L (3.9 gallon) Autopots - With 2 Scrog nettings
2x2:
UNKNOWN JET

sure, someone will look at it, probably a few people.
as for getting the seeds out, i do it by hand. wear rubber gloves though, it’s a mess. i’ve seen some contraptions that do it for you though, do a search on seed separation maybe.

Let everything dry out, take buds off the stems, wear gloves and then rub the flowers in between your palms with applied pressure. Everything will crumble, and doing this over and over will remove the calyx from the seeds.
search OG for: “Coin flip”, “seed puck” or “Seed coin”.
Please see above. lol

Dry well, then smoosh it up by hand, either in a bag or in a tray, then you can use a tray or similar device to try and separate by vibration or shaking… seeds are heavier than flower

@cYx , if you got a lot of material to work with:
After faffing around for a few months and then getting all the parts together may I present to y’all:
“Pigeonman’s OVER-BUILT Cyclone Seed Separator”
[20230408_171210]
A motto that always gets me either top of the class OR very fucked:

So I took the original method I use to separate seeds using a vacuum and stepped up my game by building a cyclone dust separator which will catch all the spoils for hash/dry-sift leaving the seeds in the original bowl, and nothing makes it to the vac…

I’ve tried to separate them in the bag I smoosh them up in, it’s more work than just taking it out

Okay thank you for ur suggestion’s guys.
Okay, so i crumble them down. But how can i seperate them then? From the green stuff that we all love? (the seeds)?
I (hope) i have 30.000 seeds xD

For example
When stoners always had seed in their bud
An old trick was to use a vinyl record or cover
To shake, and have the seeds fall off

Je i thought about something like holding it 90°.
Then take them and put them into a sieve? But iam scared that i rub to much of from the seed u know?
I tryed sieve… it was so great to get these little green out that was left there.

Not a sieve,
More like a textured or large surface,
Like panning for gold

Wear gloves, put well dried bud in trim bin, break it up, gently shake or vibrate
It will separate, you can use your hands to help gather masses

Well, it depends on cost… true
But if I need to do this with plants over and over, seems like useful tool
After all, I have a seed run going, then co op run, then another…
