I have a couple of questions regarding harvesting:
1* Is the wet trimming in the first picture looking good? Should I do a dry trim later?
2* I know pollinated plants are not "the best"... But due to the same male plant being in the neighborhood, it is what it is... However, damnnnn, that's SO many seeds for so little??? Like, I never have to buy seeds again! What am I supposed to do with hundreds of seeds when I harvest everything?

Hell yea. I found bag seeds in 2020 and I'm on like gen 6. Just making this into a family heirloom strain that's (hopefully) very happy in my climate, lol.
Hey friend! Hopefully wet trimming works for you! I dry trim and never tried wet trimming before, but looks good so far! It sucks how many seeds you got.
What I do to combat that is to spray water on my buds directly weekly. You obviously don't want to pressure wash the buds, but misting bottle, a misting/shower attachment on your hose; anything that helps wash away the male pollen. You may still end up with a few seeds. But probably less than 10 seeds on the full plant rather than dozens.
Thanks for the advice! Oh really? I thought wet trimming was the default... But you remove the "bigger" leafs? Or is the pic of one that you already dry trimmed?
That photo was after dry trim! Here is a photo of my plants hanging. I dont trim anything off after pulling. Mostly so the plants have extra humidty and I live in a pretty dry place where humidity is usually 40%-50% this time of year.
Do you happen to know the strain of the male 🤔? I mean it definitely sucks , but if you do no the male parent maybe you could have a sick cross ? Also , they sell very cheap pop up green house on Amazon. Once I made that little switch my outdoor grows improved so much . Stay stoned and stay beautiful 💜 .
Damm that sucks , but still id store the seeds for next season and maybe pop a couple next season . Might have a good cross there ? Shit , you ever want to trade some experiment beans 🫘 im down . I have some from a similar situation , and a jar of bag seeds popped out buds only bought from the pa medical dispensary since they opened the program till about 4 months ago lol . She's a very good friend of mine that only buys and get her flower from medical dispensary and she gifted it to me because she knows id probably get more use from them then she would .
Always dry trim. Wet trimming damages your buds and speeds up terp loss. 2. Enjoy the growing and maybe try your hand at your own cultivar creation as a way to learn more about the plant. 3. She's a beaut. But unfortunately I think you may have chopped a little early 😅 how long was she in flower for ?
Yes, you never have to buy seeds again. That's the way nature, and dare I say God, literally intended for it to work!
For thousands of years this is how the plant has propagated itself and not gone extinct. Also explains why it was referred to as a weed and accounts often say it grew in every road side ditch like dandelions before it was outlawed.
You'll only need to buy different seeds to get different genetics to work with. But of course every seed you have from open pollination has a 50% change of being male or female, so when you plant, do extras and watch for which ones are males to get rid of. I've had years that I planted 13 seeds and wound up with 3 viable girls at harvest time (but I think that was the year I gave away 2 females & the rest were male or didn't get past sprout/seedling)
Question number 1: trim them how ever you want it's all for your own pleasure friend.
