Removing seeds without damaging buds?

ive never allowed my buds to seed before so I don't know where they form (on the outside of bud or on the inside)

I am wanting to set seed for This grow to get a batch of seeds to last me a long time so I don't have to keep buying more.

My main concern is being able to remove the seeds without damaging the buds so that I can still sell them to the dispensaries.

Has anyone successfully removed seeds without damaging the buds? The only videos and other posts I've found online shows people grinding up the bud to remove seeds.

If you seed buds you'll need to break them up to get at the seeds, no way around it. Just seed one branch by painting the individual buds and being careful not to spread it all over the plant. Then when you harvest, just de-seed the branch vs. the whole plant and smoke whatever you broke up.

Yeah, that's best if you can do it. If you allow the whole plant to seed, you'll never - EVER - get 'em all. For every 10 you find, there'll be dozens more farther in. They grow as far in as right next to the stem, so it's basically impossible to dig for all of them without tearing up most of the bud.

No dispensary is going to buy seeded bud and its impossible to pick out the seeds without mangling the buds. Just pollinate 1 plant and you'll get thousands.

not hard to setup a mother/clone area either if you have the space
