If you process your buds right away why not grind it all up then too. I just toss a bud in my hand grinder and it does a nice job without me having to handle the nugs too much. What I do is give it a couple turns first then open it up and tip it . The bud is not ground and still held by the teeth but the seeds are loose and fall right out because the bud is ripped just enough to release them. Then I close it up again and finish grinding. The stems are always just left in the teeth at the end anyway.
Works for me. But I do it as I use it not all at once.
