trim in seeds

[Twitch710]

driving me nuts, any tricks to separating the trim out of seeds

any tips appreciated

I used a paper plate. Put the mess on it. Roll the seeds to one side carefully. Collect the clean seeds. Scrape I to a new pile and roll to other side of plate.

A sieve or wire mesh works, too...but Stayfoolish's idea easy.

grrrr

grrrr

thanks guys I'm a frosh and was running out of seeds and small setup so I dusted 3x3" plants, I'm more having trouble with the husk parts cause I went for Pyrex and window mesh, and I'm still sitting here for hours with tweezers thinking someone has to have an idea.

This one really took me back to memories of the 70s.

so found a medium strainer and tapped the sides over a bowl causing vibrations, still had to use a spoon and tweezers but helped cut the time in half

Maybe late but,
You can roll the seed between your hands & blow the husks away.
If not saving husks, do outside if possible.
If saving husks, do it over a large clean glass table or similar clean surface.

OR

Do as you say. in the above post then employ stayfoolish method after smaller particles are removed.
The seed will roll like a ball leaving most of the husks behind. Repeat several times until seed is sufficiently clean then blow the remaining material from the seed.
I prefer a cookie sheet to paper plates.

Enjoy your new seeds.
