any tips on collecting seeds? bit of a pain in the ass.
If you don't have the space to work with it's really just a pain in the ass.

The easiest way I found was to leave the boys outdoors and collect the pollen out there when it's time. No matter what I do it seems the pollen ends up everywhere. But, I enjoy pheno hunting so a few seeds here and there where they don't belong isn't that big a deal to me.

If I know there are seeds in a bud, I'll dry the bud extra crispy and put it through a sieve. The bud comes out pretty fine but the seeds stay in the sieve. Works well for me and quality is still up there for the weed :)

I never found it to be too difficult. Just let the herb dry as usual before collecting the seeds and pull em out after finger bust. seems to work for me.
Yup, this works, but holy fuck it is a pain in the ass. Try doing this with a whole lights worth of plants.

I trimmed them too. Let em dry. Then harvest.

Took me a couple weeks to deseed (between all my other shit I had to do).

I think building a screen setup would probably be the fastest and most effective way to harvest manually.

Thanks for all the advice guys. :) I've managed to collect quite a few now.

i use this frame type system http://www.flamangraincleaning.com/products/hand-tester-kits-5#.VoKSyyiFUy4
first screen is to destroy bud and casing . second barely lets seeds thru gets larger material third is the catcher n fanning tray ..
and a fan/ tossongg at the end to blow away the fines ...

No PM here.. I guess it's light reflecting off leaf/trichs ??

Good eye...lol....I'll double check @ lights on
Man...I've just about ruined my eyes from a couple weeks of laboriously studying every bud through a magnifier. I lost the other purple 'fat purple, leaving only the two non-colored ones with about 10 days to go. I sure wanted to smoke some of the purple.....they were both stellar in frost and fatness. :cry:

That's probably the waxy layer the non-stalked trichomes form. I "freak out" over that regularly too. Just like dirt on the bottom of leaves looking like mites... Some level of paranoia is good, keeps me on my toes. If I were to get pm or whatever I'd notice the first day.

Left below the center, tip of that small leaf, freaked me out, but turned out to be just trichs + flash messing with my head.

Sour Grapes x PCK

I don't know if the mother was sour grapes from Gage Green or Sour Grape from Apothecary but she was a really solid mother, good yield, and after a couple months of curing actually smells like grapes. The reason I don't know if the mother was sour grape or sour grapes is because the mother was a craigslist cut.
