seed storage??

hey i was wondering where the best place to store my seeds is untile im ready to grow.any help would be great.

A black film canister is my choice. Keep in a place that is very low in humidity too.

I'm curious, Mogie. How long can they survive like that? Is it possible to store seeds for multiple years?

I just put mine in a pill bottle. Probaly not the best idea but hey it works.

seeds will last for mutiple years if stored properly.

I had this little plastic zip lock bag I used to put all my bag seed in to store. Fairly air tight. Kept it in a small jewelry box. I had about 20 seeds collected by the time I gave up smoking weed. Flash forward 8+ years later and I was able to germinate 6 of the 20. I wasn't expecting anything to happen and was surprised when I had that many crack.

I've germinated 2 yr old seeds that were just sitting on the floor of my safe

paper bag in the fridge

I have just bunged mine in an old baggie and put em in a dark place. Still grow! Just germinated one yesterday! there 2 months old now

Added by: MisterIto Viewed: 698 times Rated by 5 users: 10.00/10For uninterrupted long term storage, freezing in a vacuum pack with a dessicant is best. Each time a batch of seeds goes through a freeze/thaw cycle, a few become unviable. For storage lengths of a few years or less, room temperature storage in an airtight container with a dessicant is satisfactory. Vacuum packing with dessicant and room temperature storage is best for access without the thaw and re-freezing that kills them. The problem with using the refrigerator for any period of time is the excessive amount of moisture constantly present. Each time the door is opened, moisture condenses on items inside, for which the dessicant is an inadequate deterrent for molds. A vacuum sealed container should not condense moisture on the inside. I have no knowledge of the effective lifespan of rice as a dessicant, but it could be replaced occasionally if suspected to be losing effectiveness. Using heat to remove any moisture present in rice or other "makeshift" dessicants will improve effectiveness and longevity. I have heard of vermiculite being used as a dessicant, but would recommend silica gel as a first choice. I heard of properly stored seeds over 10 years old still germinating at acceptable rates.

Impressive! I didn't think they could keep for so long, but they sound fairly hardy.

I PUT MINE IN ANYTHING THAT DOESNT HAVE MOISTURE... MOISTURE WILL RUIN YUOR SEEDS FOR GOOD... TRY A COOL DRY PLACE

A handy tip on seed storage I learned from a grower buddy of mine. You know when you buy a new pair of shoes, and you get those little sachets of Silica Gel in them? Well don't throw them away anymore. Keep them and store them in the same container you keep the seeds in, as they will absorb any moisture present.

Rice works great for moisture absorbancy also.

Hidden in a freezer in an air tight bag with some desiccant. Rice works good to like bigv was saying
