HBWR Fuzz on seeds.

[Mr.Writer]

How the FRECKLE do you get this shit off? I have a beautiful bag of these (hawaii strain) and I haven't touched them in a month because I can't get the fuzz off and it makes me vomit violently for 12 hours. I've tried boiling the seeds, which just makes it come apart, and I've tried peeling it like a potato with a razor sharp hunting knife, but the fuzz is not at all like a skin or shell and more like a thick carpet that has been superglued to the seed, like the roots of the fuzz goes deep into the seed. I just can't get it off!

Logistic help please.

first off: boiling the seeds is almost guarenteed to destroy the valuble LSA.

as for the fuzz, use a nail file.

however, there is a difference between the fuzz and the actual husk, which seperates easily and is not on all ordered seeds (esp. the non-hawaiin)

[Mr.Writer]

Nail file doesn't even scratch the fuzz.

edit: OK it does work if I apply great pressure, but it's extremely slow and because the seeds are very irregular in shape many grooves and hollows filled with fuzz are unreachable.

edit2: Nail filing takes about 40 minutes per seed and results in fingers so sore I won't do more than one seed every few hours. There's go to be a better way . . .

[Mr.Writer]

I must try SANDPAPER!

[Mr.Writer]

Ok, with the combination of nail file, sandpaper, and xacto knife I managed to get one seed almost 100% clear of any dark brown fuzz. It's a hollow victory because of how much time and physical effort it takes though.

Are you sure it's the fuzz and not the husk? A simple lemon juice extraction leaves me with only the good stuff and very little bad stuff, fuzz or no fuzz, but there could be other things involved though...

[DroneLore]

So lemon juice + HWBR = no nausea? What do you do, let it soak, pour it through a coffee filter, and drink the lemon juice?

[Not Mike]

use a coffee grinder and extract... much easier

[Gratefully Dawg]

^yeah
the fuzz is lmost impossible to get completly off. You just need to get off the husk,crush it up, and then do the extract

[Mr.Writer]

Will do. Thanks guys! I'll do an extract with around 10 seeds and write a trip report one of these days.
