Not a thing wrong with pollination if you want some seeds. Some don't want any seeds. Early pollination isn't great for the best yields Ya know?

I guess it's like blondes and brunettes. Some like one; some like the other; some like both; some like neither(very weird folks).

Sinsemilla or seedless of any quality is commercially valuable,thats a fact.There is also a theory of THC production being maximized when the flowers don't produce seeds,this I don't really know about.

 

[Rolling_Stoned]

I can recall seeing a video of somebody discussing some brown-frown commercial crop, that they were standing in front of. It was super seedy, dude said that they don't remove the males, because of man hours, and as a result many of the females spend a lot of their time/energy producing seeds instead of big potent flowers. Whether this is a scientific fact or not I obviously can not confirm, just some input.

Potency is not sacrificed by a plant being seeded. Yield is the only thing affected but if let finish the potency will be the same.

There is also the horny theory lol.Sex starving a female supposedly results in more resin p[roduction..supposedly.One thing I can say for sure.I'd rather have trichrome covered seedpods filled with liquid goo than a non trich covered seedpod with seed..

Everything I've read regarding this points to lower potency when pollinated. If the flowers are producing seeds they are focusing on that instead of packing on resin. Lower resin = lower potency.

I'm curious though - where are you getting your info on potency remaining the same? I'd like to read up on it, unless it's just a personal opinion.

Seeds are nutritionally very rich (no surprise there), thus I'd think they'd require more "work" for the plant than virgin flowers to be created. Which results in a plant with a smaller yield, but as far as potency is concerned, as Old Soul said if you let them finish it should be the same, or at least I don't notice much of a difference.

In all honesty, I find that smoking seeded bud tastes like shit, this is the main reason why I don't want seeded plants. Not to mention the time lost when you have to remove all those seeds before rolling a joint, even more if they're of the unmature tiny white kind of seeds...

But hey, sometimes you need seeds, I'm currently running a seed crop and I know what to expect. I might still bitch at the low yield but WTH.

Peace

I may have to disagree with y'all . I don't know how old you guys are, but....

The weed we smoked in the 60's and 70's was seedy as hell....and some of it was VERY potent. Seedy pot isn't necessarily "weak or not potent".

Seedy pot isn't necessarily "weak or not potent".

Not to be a douche, but my experience has proved otherwise.

However, I am not saying that seeds attribute to a lack of potency, rather they are indicative of a lazy grower. A lazy grower generally doesn't follow the growing process very carefully, which DOES result in a lack of potency.

I mean, if you don't take the time to check for preflowers or other signs of sexual maturity, why would you care about proper humidity and temperatures?

I agree with Obli!

I agree with Obli!

The pot in the 60s and 70s was seedy and kick-ass! I lived in San Diego and we always got the "good stuff"! The trash was sold to the rest of the nation! Any survivors of the Warlock Shop in PB out there? Anyone go to the Love-ins at La Jolla Cove or Kalmia Street? Lovely memories!

And as for getting those little immature seeds out- you got one of those big wire mesh strainers in the kitchen? Just rub the bud through. All those nasty little seeds will stay in the strainer, nicely flaked bud fall to a plate. No problem!

Hey Granny!! You tell 'em!!

I'll be 60 next year. I was staioned in California 7/68 to 12/69 the last 18 months in the Bay area. The weed I had access to was always seedy, some less than others, but seedy.

A friend of my brothers was at Berkely in school. He got some weed one weekend and it looked pretty much like what we had been smoking (seedy), but GOD Almighty that stuff was trippy. I couldn't walk right for maybe 30 minutes.

And anyone who smoked in those times remembers "sifting" weed. That was first thing I did when I bought a bag(1 oz in those days) I'd run it through my sifter and get all the twigs, stems and seeds out. Through the stuff in a coffee can. I smoked stems more than once in hard times. I die now thinking of how many seeds I tossed out...good sativa weed too. SEEDY AND POTENT. Make no mistake about it.

I can't tell y'all how many times we sat around high(not stoned into a stuper) watching Mork and Mindy, Saturday Night Live(the original debut series) Just HOWLING with uncontrollable giggles and laughter.

That pot was seedy but good IMO. I'll take it, seeds and all, today over any of the Indicas...including the two I just grew out.

My two cents on seeds

My Ice. Much better smoke compared to the indica stuff for sale around here, but it ain't like the seedy sativas of the 70's ...IMO anyway

I have smoked some seeded bud that would put you in a chair for 4 hours not wanting to move.

 

[Levitikuz]

Obli the old days are always better to anyone....the weed you grew up on will always be the treat you will remeber forever which will never be able to be replaced...and most of you oldtimers will say that the seeded weed back in ur day was the bomb digity!! because is probably was...but now your talkin to a bumch of young guns where seedless weed is the talk of the town and the prices are outrageous and nothing can beat it....and that will be the weed we bring up when we reach your ages....this just shows the variety of good people sharing the same dream and goal one day to be achieved....

later

 

[PHANTOM]

I have smoked both and have found very little difference in them althought being as i am reduced to smoking a cigarette right now i would take either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find the main difference is I get my hands on lots of different seeds to put in my collection!!!!!!!! so its not all bad to get a few seeds............ I just joined this site so add me to your buddy list!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pothead6]

i love seedy bud mainly cause its fun to watch someone smoke a 4th of july boul if u know what i mean lol

 

[Bumboklot]

ahhh the good old days

 

[Guest]

Some of you need to go read the Ultimate Sativa Grow threads. Seeds DO NOT necessarily reduce potentency. If you are under 30, you don't have a clue because you weren't even born when we were smoking these good sativas. And they were ALWAYS seedy....some more so than others. That's just the way pot was then.
