They look very well seeded. What kind of aromas are you getting?
There is a bit of background "noise" so I am having difficulty pinning it down. It was heavy on the earthy incense and spice earlier but had developed a floral citrius as of late.

Nice work, It looks like that winnower is heading for a big workout!!! Good growing

Thanks. It's not over yet, 3 weeks to to go for 5 weeks from when the last male was pulled will be 60 days of flower. Starting to see what appears to be Ca def on a couple. It is where the most intense light is so rather than change feed I just dialed the lights back a touch.

My old man has a a laser engraver unit that cuts acrylic plastic down to insane tolerances. If there's a set of plans developed, I can manufacturer kits of parts.
There was a bit of production variation and field modification, and of course there is the whole operational test to go through yet but it is pretty much as laid out in the sketch. 20220306_171659.jpg
Everything is pretty straight forward on the miter cuts, to get the 1in and 1 ½in difference in vacuum chute size the ~5¾in piece is mitered at 43deg on the right and 47deg on the left as shown in the pic.
The width of the pieces is about 2¾in but I don't think that is critical.

Chopped a branch or two off each 5 days ago to check seed ripeness. Wish they were a little dryer and I felt a few imature/soft seeds left in the buds. There are a few pale ones too, but for the most part they are pretty well done. The resin felt gritty and has a mostly floral tangerine nose. Should be able to do a decent dry and at least short cure on the remaining plants and hopefully have enough for a few tokes at least.

Im thinking that the texture of lumber in the construction of a winnower adds to the ability of the shucker to shuck?!
I don't know. My other wood winnower is sanded smooth and finished, it didn't work any better. Mostly it was small stems that came through, I had much larger plants with the Neville's Haze run, maybe I just didnt have as much of the skinny twiggs?

The tops have been in a grove bag for a month now. It has a peppery burnt rubber smell with a sweet grape berry bubblegum undertone. The combination is consistent across the group with each having a slightly different emphasis. There is one big chunky very sweet one that I will probably segregate a few beans from. I thought it was one of the 7 Hills that was giving that bubble gum note in the room but now I am wondering if it was these Nepal Highland all the time.

There are 100 or more seeds in each top but if I am careful I can get a couple small bowls out of each. Given the burnt rubber and pepper nose and the fact they are seeded as heavy as they are I was expecting a much sharper flavor but the sweetness seems to push through. Also, with most other bud seeded this heavy I will get a headache but for some reason I am not with this?

Peppery Burnt Rubber and some sweetness too..... That sounds so pleasant! I think this might be one of the things that interests me so much about landrace strains like this; The smells are just intriguing :)

The head ache thing you mentioned; Maybe the Terpene Profile ? I imagine the right combination of the right Terpenes would effect that in some manor.

I was able to pop a few of these at the beginning of the month. Dropped 5, they all cracked and broke surface, one dampened off.

Doing some defol today for the first time and I come across one that looks like its going trifoliate.

A quadfoliate. I've not had (that I recall at least) a plant that has gone from normal to trifol, and this is for sure my first quadfol.

Looks like it kicked out one alternating node set way early.

I've seen Motor Breath do that at least once. Started normal and then a few nodes if 3 finger salutes.
