    Hey guys just a simple question probably previously answered. but where would be the ideal place to store unused seeds. i have a few but cant plant them all at once. would it be best to keep them in the breeder pack? just don't want to ruin them. thanks. :D

    I would say in an airtight container, in a cool (room temp or a little less) and dark place is "ideal". so as close as you can get to that

    In an airtight container, with a little desiccant pack, in the fridge.

    If you don't have a dessicant pack just throw in a teaspoon of uncooked rice.

    Yeah that's pretty genius, would have never thought of that one. :hello: Rice and beans in the fridge they go. Do you guys know how long they will stay "fresh"?

    Archaeologists found seeds in Egyptian tombs thousands of years old that germinated - don´t think they were MJ though.

    This year I had a disaster trying to germinate seeds I set in 2005 - they were no longer viable. But I don´t think I paid enough care to storing them - just left them lying around - a lesson learnt.

    Cantharis you dont live in egypt or have your seeds sealed in a canopic jar so dont feel so bad. :)

    I have had mine in 35 mm film canisters in the basement and have got 5 - 6 yrs out of em. Shitty germ rates though - like 20%.



    Yea u can freeze them in ln forever.

    Hey a real easy way to get a dessicant pack is just go buy a tiny advil bottle or any kind of pill drug. There is always a little pack or cylinder in there!

    Thanks for the info link! Green house seeds seem like a good place to get your seeds from.

    i have some rice with it right now but i may throw a dessicant pack in there to achieve that extra dryness :smoking:
