Hey guys and gals
Do any of you have experience with successfully producing and harvesting seeds? I'm trying it for the first time and so far so good I guess, but my question is this.

How do you harvest the seeds? Do you cut them with the plant and let them dry out? Or are you supposed to wait until they are brown on the plant? Any help would be sweet!

you let the plant/bud dry out, bone dry. you should be able to shake some of the seeds out, and, then, very slowely, by hand pick out the seeds and store them in a dark, dry, cool place, such as an airtight tupperware or filmcan container.

So I'll be waiting for a while if I expect them to turn brown on the plant, right? So when the bud's done and ready to be harvested can I assume that the seeds are too? The buds have been developing for almost 8 weeks and the seeds for about 6. I think I have a pretty basic indica strain.

One more thing, do the seeds cause the rest of the harvest to be reduced? I haven't gotten seeds on any other plant before and this one seems to have a pretty small harvest. Thanks.

this depends a lot on when the plant was polinated. If youre unsure, just pop a seed bract open and take a look at a seed or two. They will tell you when they are ready.

it does affect the rest of the plants production, of everything, including thc.

Thanks for the help. I was able to glean about 15 seeds from two plants!
