Seeds in my buds how much yield will I lose?

So On a very sad note I’ve just realised my white widow week 9 has got seeds in her bud and I mean they are fkn everywhere still very underdeveloped I’m very disappointed but there is nothing I can do now what I was wondering is how much yield will I lose? I know it’s not an exact science just wanted a general idea of how much I just hope there isn’t as many as I think
 
little to none...nor will the THC content be impacted....you will now have fem-seeds for the future

Will they also be seeded when they bud??

It depends what made them morph in the first place. If it was genetic, then yes the next gen could also have this issue. If it was something you did and you correct it, than no.

Most everyone who has grown indoors for any time has had this happen at least once...It'll still be good smoke, but the street value went way down.

How is the the yield and thc content not impacted by the plant redirecting its energy to make seeds instead of putting that same energy into bigger more potent flowers? Doesn’t make sense to me.

I don't know the science behind it, but I've been doing this for a long time. I, nor anyone else has ever noticed a lick of difference with potency between my seeded, and sinsemilla bud. From my growing experience, the buds are relatively the same size, with the same frosting, even within the same grow cycle in the same flowering room.

That’s crazy I’ve never heard that in fact the opposite.

The amount of THC is not impacted but the cannabinoid profile changes. The yield goes down a bit as well. I run seed tables most of the time and I've run the same cloned genetics but never weighed the final product to quantify the yield difference.

My experience has been similar.
 
You can make oil tincture, gummy's or vape it. It really isn't a big deal consuming those 3 ways with seeds.
 
I can tell you from personal experience that both yield and potency are taking a big hit when all the buds get seeded.

I screwed up pollinating a few buds on each of 8 plants and ended up with only 200 - 300 seeds in each plant at harvest and it was really low compared to every other harvest. Fully seeded buds are going to yield even less.

Not to mention that all your bud will need to be busted up to get the seeds out of it so there goes bag appeal. Great for making hash or oils for smoking or medicine. Can roll joints out of the busted up bud too if you want but it won't be as good as unseeded bud from the same strain.

If those seeds came from balls on that same plant early in flowering about half the plants grown from that seed will likely do the same thing. I've been pollen chucking for 20 years and am used to weeding out the hermie prone ones. Any seeds I keep were deliberately made from pollen and the girls went thru their whole cycle without any balls or 'nanners. Random seeds on plants get tossed. Same with seeds that come from a girl that showed any sign of hermaphrodism.

Males can carry the trait and also show flowers from the opposite sex so that has to be watched for as well.

:peace:
