Hi all,
I live in a state of Australia in which growing marijuana for personal use has been decriminalised. I have about 15 plants in my backyard, all of which are starting to grow heavy with seeds. I think this happened because a neighbour was not vigilant with removing his males.
My question is: Does anyone have advice for harvesting smokable buds from this situation?
I estimate about 50-75% of the heads are now little capsules containing near-mature seeds, and I'm hoping it's possible to avoid the arduous labour of picking them out by hand (?!?!). I have no use for the seeds either, as I already have hundreds saved from previous crops.

Thanks for your advice!

That really sucks, but nope. Once seeded, it's seeded.
I wouldn't use those seeds anyway. No telling where the genetics came from. (your neighbor could be growing for commercial hemp products)

Ill take some of your seeds!

Spew. I guess the logical thing to do is leave them to grow until those capsules open up, then try and salvage what I can... Despite your caption on logic, which I think holds a real truth!
Thanks for replying

Make hash with your seediest buds. You can also make some tasty meals with the seeds.

Time is already invested so I would make the best out of what you harvest.Smoke the best less seeded buds make sure you get seeds out as they taste like shit. The rest I would make some tasty bubble hash with.Peace
