Regarding bud w/ seeds...

[OnionsOfLove]

I recently came across some very smelly, sticky, hard hitting buds that have a small/moderate amount of seeds in them, and I was curious how/why this could have come about. The weed gets me very high after a shared bowl and actually put me and my friends to sleep one night when we were planning on doing something after getting high. Is there ever an advantage to letting a plant grow with minimal seeds in it? Perhaps something to do with the plant becoming more mature and developing something extra? What could it possibly be? Or is this just a case of some random accident with a sneaky male plant? Any help is good help, so thanks in advance for giving me some :)

Accidental sneaky male stuff... very likely.
I have heard that some growers allow their plants to be pollinated because the ripen a touch faster. However I have never found someone who does this.
Save your seeds! :D

I'm 'skipping' a crop right now ... growing a few plants specifically for seeds ... I've found 'going to seed' reduces the bud yield, but no noticeable effect on potency ... currently planning to cross two female Joey Weed NL99 (Northern Lights X Cinderella99), with a male Motarebel Killa Queen 2006, the sativa-dominant pheno (Cinderella99 X G-13) ... wish me luck ... :dance:

Good luck! Sounds like a nice cross!

Sweetie, you just found out a secret- seeds don't really hurt your bud. (I've heard kids bewail their "ruined" buds, wondering if the pot would even get them high! LOL) Sinsemilla is nice stuff, but I was raised on seeded pot. There MAY be a slight loss of potency, but you'll never miss it. There is a higher than average chance of hermies from bag seed, but I wouldn't let that stop me from growing it! I can either cut the balls off or smoke him/her early as a preview of what's to come! Either way is OK. The only advantage of letting seeds develop is that you don't have to buy seeds ever again and, over the generations, you will have a strain that is uniquely yours. Sounds like you have a good start in your bag seed.
