I usually just seed lower buds for seeds and leave the tops unseeded. The plant might lose a little in way of weight and resin production but not enough to really notice. Bud still comes out kosher and you can get a nice load of beans just off a few lower buds.
I just let my bud get very dry and crumble it with my finger, and use a colander for the small piece of weed since hole ain't big enough to let seed pass trouve, after it more easy to pick seed, you can find industrial seed sitting but they come with a price too and i PREFER To check seed one by one by hand
That's the 'bonus bud' pheno.
I got one @ over $20 a seed 3-4 years ago from Attitude, and was surprised it popped. Didn't have the space to run it out, so it was included in the copper dusting. It was by far the biggest bean yielder. No one that I know has any being tested, though I did germ tests on them.
You think Bodhi would hunt me down like Cap over that Mac 1?
I germed half a pack of Goji to make some F2s as well and so far I have 3 males with 2 undetermined. Luckily I still have one girl going from the original pack and she's everything I want in Goji so worst case scenario I'll just use all the males on her for more diversity.I'm gonna start my seed line out with exclusive goji og f2s.
But seriously, I'm stoked on the new round of chucking. It will only be 4 females for sure, 2 black dogs because they both have great flavors and potency, the lvtk and then the gojis. I may chuck pollen on either of the east cakes clones if the ones in flower start to wow me and I may also hit the bubba's gift up too.
The goji og f2s will only go out to a handful of cats because I'm doing the f2s just for preservation purposes only so no need for testers on that one unfortunately. I will hand some out to folks that I feel confident will make more beans with them or at least hold a clone of them for a bit.
I'm gonna try to let the clones I plan to chuck veg long enough to ensure a grip load of beans. I'm hoping to work the best of these crosses into my own cultivars instead of just making f1s. That is if they're worth working further but I'm guessing I'll find some nice gems as long as the goji male is a stud. From the goji I've grown and from what I've seen in other people's goji I have full confidence in the male passing on dank.
Right now both the goji male and tangerine power male are now in flower. I'm planning on collecting pollen and using it later instead of flowering the males at the same time as the females like I did previously. The tang pow will only pollinate the lvtk and then he is gone for good. Not enough space to fuck with 2 males at once so I'm gonna focus on the goji male and crosses for the time being.
Cheers and good growing y'all, oh and
Its worse. Def. worse, lol
Meh, I like it. It’s like a treasure hunt. A whole plant might be a little tiresome, but the few buds I typically seed is still fun. The most I’ve harvested is ~170 from one bud.
170 from one bud?
I'm sure timing does have have a bit to it. But I have noticed some strains seem to make more seeds than others.170 from one bud?
I need to stop wingin it and do some reading. I go pretty heavy handed with pollen so my timing must be off.
I think I'm averaging about 20. Sometimes much lowerer and I have to shred through buds til my fingers cramp up.
That and which buds you hit. This was cola on a Bodega Bubblegum that had been topped. It was probably 3rd week of flowering or so, I usually hit the buds I intend on seeding when the male is really pumping out the pollen.
I also let my seeded buds dry to super crispy before I separate the seeds from the vegetative matter. Makes it a heck of a lot easier to separate.170 from one bud?
