Seed Storage.

[curiouscat420]

This may sound silly, but I have just found my first bagseed since i started to really care. Unreal too, from the most amazing blueberry skunk i have ever smoked... gawd i hope its a female... anyway, i am just about to move and cant start to grow it for a little while...

what is the best way to store it.

it is pretty big and is a light green / light brown color...

i just put it in a dime bag for now, any help is appreciated


i wasnt really sure which forum to post this in, so i chose the one with most traffic... sorry...

I use black film viles with a few grains of rice, stored in the crisper/vegetable drawer of the 'fridge.
5-10 years viability.. at "least"..

:yeahthat: I just started in March 2009, 11 yr old seed that were store just like "Hick" stated. I have change the rice about 2 times a year. They sprouted normally and are ready to go outside as soon as the last frost gets here around March 1.

IMO you want something that lets no light to the seeds.

Uh-oh. I froze my excess seeds from my order. Did I buff up?

And, Hick, I'm trying like heck not to effing curse, but profanity's an odd part of my life, oddly enough.

Got ten Shiva seeds I bought in Amsterdam four years ago. Kept them in a small Tupperware box with a tiny silicon pouch. Stuck them in the fridge and they've been there ever since. I wondered if they'd still be viable.
Cheers Hick, I'll give them a go now :watchplant:
