From the farmer:
This one we make seeds when we dry. We hang them upside down we let them dry and check them from time to time.
We hang the plants in the shade not under the sun. When the plants are really dry we start shaking them while they are still hanging upside down. We put a tarp on the floor like that the seeds when they fall off and down to the ground we can easily collect them all. Then we check also the plants if there are any more seeds in the buds before curing them and after they’ve been cured.
