What we did was dry the bud as normal. In a box hanging from fishing line threaded criss cross. For 2 weeks. Then we pop-ed all the seeds out and put them in a dark film container with a little rice in it. Then into the fridge for week. I then took 9 of them, and did the paper towel thing with them, and 8 split. They are growing now. I kept 5 and gave 4 to a friend. That's a 95% germ rate. Not to bad for the first time we made seeds. We used the paint brush method for pollination, and I strongly recommend it. It is the bomb way to do it. You can pinpoint the buds you want to make seeds with.
Hope this helps. Or at the least inspires you.
good luck and have fun.
