Very true about seeded bud,that gnat is ripping your trichs
How many seeds on a plant is too many seeds for maturing?

I'll test that theory out. I found another fungus gnat stuck to a bud. Seems to be the lower buds, which makes sense as they hover around the soil.
When does he rinse? When picked, or after dried?
And unless he looks carefully, I'm just going to rinse as if I didn't know the little guy was there.

Here's the resulting 1190 seeds from that White Widow, cross bred with a Super Skunk. I've got 6 of these seeds growing at a friends house, outdoors.
Of the dark brown seeds seen here, 7 out of 7 I tested sprouted in about 3-5 days.
Of the seeds from this batch that were still green, only 1 of 10 sprouted. I haven't tried the lighter brown ones. But I guess I have about 1/3 unviable seeds in this lot.
Not sure if I could have done anything better, to make them all viable. But perhaps White Widow is too big for a single E26/E27 grow light? Blueberry autoflower certainly doesn't like a single light.
I used a 36W LEVIN brand. There's a good deal on those on Amazon if you look around. I bought 10 of them for $11 each, yesterday.
My engineering friends in Taipei tell me, expect grow lights to fall in price soon, as China figures out growing marijuana in California is big business. You can get put to death for having drugs there, but no one minds making a buck off them.

I had a verylight brown little og bag seed once that I gave to a bubby of mine, it germed and grew to be a nice og kush plant that was a miniature for like the first month of its like then after that it grew into a strong dank ass plant, so there may be some more life in those than the light green littles.

God, I hope not! Hadn't even thought about them until now.
Here's the results of the water rinse gnat removal technique. I might try it again later with a strong fine spray from a large misting bottle, but you have to figure that if the stream is strong enough to remove the gnat, some trichomes are going to be broken off too.
I think we all have to face it. We smoke gnats.

Next step is 'Back-Crossing'
that will rock ya socks
I don't mess with tiny, or green, or pale, or grey seeds
although 800 seeds does arouse me
just damping pollen on the 2 lower branches, flowers should offer you more than enough
that said 800 seeds from ur F1/S1 will prevent any genetic issue later
great find ..good luck

IMO: wrong..
I'm big on the water cure
as in soaking ur fresh harvested buds in tepid water, for 4 days
as you know thru the hash making with ice
trics are very fragile, they easy wash of in cold water
washing weed under cold water does remove many tric glands
defeating your purpose
neem oil will put an end to bugs in your grow
so whats wrong with a little protien in ue joint
good luck

Nothing against water cure if I don't do it as I like flowers mostly and the more skunky the better. Rinsing don't hurt and water curing proves it. Pulled my river plants before right after big storms outside.....frosty! Cool not cold water.

Yea, I finally figured that out. I was worried I'd be lucky to get 50 seeds on that White Widow. Now I know better.
Last plant I pollinated was a blueberry. Buds were just starting, only 1/3 inch of pistils.
I pollinated it like that. Hopefully it'll grow very big buds with seeds only at the very top, and hopefully the seeds will finish just as the buds are the correct ripeness.
