How do you separate seeds from weed?

[AgentPothead]

Came here to see if anyone was using a vibrating table at an angle.

It's how I separate anything that rolls from anything that doesn't roll.

I might just be stupid.. dunno.

Man, TychoMonolyth has that shake tray thing to fill up the prerolls, I'll ping him and see what he does for seeds.

Yea.... after hand rubbing the buds through hardware cloth on a frame and into a bin, I made one of these. I needed it because I had about 5 lbs of weed/seeds. (I'm not home so I'll post the screen/hardware cloth on a frame when I get home.)

I made this out of corrugated plastic and a hot glue gun for a one time use. Next one will be proper plywood and plexiglass.

Here's one in action. Not mine but you get the idea.

Here's one I made for small batches.

NOTE: the bottom is not cut perfectly straight. Leave a little room on the bottom for air to enter. Squigly cut is fine. Then adjust how hard the vacuum works by putting pressure on the thing by pressing down on it. Keep your bottom bin on an angle so your seeds can roll out of the pile of material your working on. Experiment with it. I didn't bother but I guess you could run it through a second time in case it sucked up a few good seeds.

I used a spare upright vacuum I had on both. It cleans to about 99.9% clean. Even pro machines can't be 100%.


The nice thing about using this method is that it also gets rid of white unripe seeds.

The best way to do it is to tumble the shit out of your ground up weed BEFORE you put the vacuum to it to collect all that hash. Once you run it through you'll lose about 50 to 70% of your trichomes to the vacuum.

Lastly, make sure you dry out your ground up weed if your waiting to do it so it doesn't mold on you.

Good luck.

There was only ONE official seed separating album cover.

Accept no substitutes.

This sieve is great. Next run I will get one of these. I found an offer with 1mm, 2mm and 3mm mesh, which seems to be perfect.

The 3 mm screen may actually be 3.35 mm (#6 mesh). It catches large seeds. It's tedious to shake or pour seedy pot through a 2 mm 10 mesh screen, and small immature seeds will be retained, so perhaps 8 (2.36 mm) or 9 (2.24 mm) mesh is better except when you don't want small immature seeds in the pot. #7 (2.8 mm) for larger seeds.

Some similar items have been used for hash as well. A stack of these is more expensive than other options - even so, the still more expensive stainless version is nice to have.

By breaking the weed up on the cover, tilting the whole thing on an angle, and gently sifting through the weed with your fingers. The seeds just roll out of it.

Generally this is the same I did, just with a high gloss magazine I rolled up a bit in my left hand while I sifted the weed with my right hand. Works the same if you have no album cover. Out of all things this worked best for me.
