How many seeds per plant?
- Thread starter Superauto
- Start date
Enough seeds you will question why would anyone pay $15+ for a single bird seed.
I dare you to actually find & grow hemp birdseed AND smoke it!

People spend fifteen dollars a seed because they know they might find something special from it. Seed companies sell their seeds for that much because they want to make the most they can, since any smart person will just open pollinate and never need to buy another. The seeds themselves are worth almost nothing. It is the exclusive genetics within that you pay for. Compare a seed to a key. A key itself is worth very little, just like a seed. A key that you know opens a vault of gold that you know is full of gold is worth a lot more. A seed that has known, good quality DNA is bound to be worth more than just an old heat-killed hemp seed.
Nicely said. However, not all breeders, er "Seed companies sell their seeds for that much because they want to make the most they can".
And applause to those who say research/reading up is the best way to learn. Next comes the actual experience. Like MJP said, too many variables.
Get your hands dirty...grow and learn and pollinate.
Depending on the variety, 50 – 100 seeds will weigh about a gram.

i feel you. to each his own. i stick with the bagseeds i've been cultivating cuz they still churn out consistently equal or better plants than what i've grown from breeders. not saying breeder seeds are bad...ijs..."i can do that" and then i do...
@MJP yes true you meant what you said lol. in that case i guess i mean to say i disagree.

Seed Whore
You can get a 1000 seeds on a 3 foot plant if it's healthy enough.
There's so many variables that there's no exact formula.
Just know 1 plant will give you more seeds than you can grow at one time I bet.

I've read that and that fully seeded bud is about 50-70% seed by weight so about 25-70 seeds per gram of harvested seeded bud. I have some seeded bud of my own on hand I could compare that estimate with…
Many years ago I was working with Mau at Nirvana seeds in Holland, and he used to tell me that he usually produced around 15,000 seeds per square meter of grow space.
Like has been said already, there are so many variables. Some seeds are much bigger than others, some plants produce more seed than others. A lot depends on the saturation of pollen to fertilize a plant and whether or not the plants are very fertile or not in the first place.....there is no real common denominator for it. Best just try it yourself and see how it goes for you.

OK, I hand pollinated this one flower about 30 days before I harvested it, the rest of the plant was unseeded. It weighed about a gram untrimmed
it got me 33 seeds including 4 crappy looking ones 2 marginals and 27 that look like quality
and some hash ingredients
I still have to smoke this plant's curing bud and it's sisters' before I decide if these seeds are birdfood or potentially useful seeds.

^ ^ This kind of made me chuckle…not because of what you did. It just reminded me about all the seeds we used to get in lids of brick back in the day. Some times at least half and even more so if by weight.

Yeah thats why I only did a gram. It used to be a couple hours work to break down an ounce, clean it up & roll it into joints. These days I don't even have to check my smoke for seeds most of the time because its usually been through a 200 micron filter.

it reminds me the one gram cleaning seeds offer from MNS
yup. I have a gram of early haze x afgan haze on the way. €20

For veggies, using Q-tip, we've made some interesting squash and tomato plants.

Hi, i was gonna make a new thread for a question that i have. But this one seems very similar so i'd use it insead and not create a new thread for "nothing".
Could anyone answer, roughly, (don't need to be super precise) the following two questions?
1) how many seeds are there in 200 grams of seeds?
2) how many seeds are there in 250 grams of seeds?
i know some seeds are bigger than others. let's say medium size. neither huge nor tiny.
thank you

@MJPassion thank you very much for this info. So working out the numbers and according to the average weight you wrote (i.e. 50 seeds per 1 gram) would be
10.000 seeds for 200 grams of seeds
12.500 seeds for 250 grams of seeds
than if the seeds are really heavy (15 seeds per 1 gram) it would be:
200 grams = 3000 seeds
250 grams = 3750 seeds
and for the light ones (100 seeds per 1 gram) would be
200 grams = 20.000 seeds
250 grams = 25.000 seeds
again thank you for this nice info
