I wonder if the grower let her fully mature? I hope he did. and I wonder what the high was like? Seeded or not seeded, the high from either will be similar and resin content is no indication of what the quality of the high will be..and like many other posters here, that plant in the photo looked to be a good four weeks from being ripe, then, like most longer flowering strains would benefit from a long, slow dry and cure/storage.
Plants that are full of seeds are great for dry sifting...just hang dry the plants, then put them in sealed cardboard boxes (with a sheet of paper with the sides bent upwards to form a tray so any dropped seeds, resin heads or trim can be caught) in a cool place and wait several months before sifting.
The important part of growing is something that is rarely mentioned and is something that any grower with a magnifier learns quickly is that don't rupture the resin heads......from the time a plant starts developing visible resin, make sure to not to touch the plant, don't brush against it, don't shake it and definitely don't maul it like so many youtube growers do! The best way to move or bend a branch is by holding a large to medium sized leaf, doing this you will be able to peer into and under any part of the plant without destroying resin.
And when the plants are harvested, it's just as important to make sure extreme care is taken when removing the fan leaves, de-branching, hanging up etc or you will be yielding less resin.. Ideally a branch should go from being cut from the plant, de-fanned and hung without touching another plant..and when dry enough for boxing, any cutting should be done over a screen, a stainless steel 100 Mesh works well for this. so any of the resin heads that break off will be saved.
I don"t know if science backs this up, but I've noticed that the resin heads with the best high are located on the exterior of buds, these are the trichomes that are usually mauled off during growing, trimming and drying and if there's any exterior resin heads left then the plastic bags they are stuffed into makes sure they're all gone by the time the 1/8th buyer hands over his cash.
