To assist you in effectively nurturing your marijuana seeds, we've compiled a useful list of considerations to bear in mind while storing them. Do you know how long do marijuana seeds last?Did you know that if you preserve your seeds in the right conditions, you can store your cannabis seeds up to 10 years? Chances are, you don’t want to store your marijuana seeds for a decade. However, even if you want to keep your marijuana seeds safe for even just one year, there are certain environmental parameters that you should bear in mind. What are these parameters? Well, let’s take a look… Top 3 factors to consider when storing marijuana seedsStoring marijuana seeds is not rocket science, and is actually quite simple. The first thing to consider is air humidity. Air Humidity If you purchase marijuana seeds for sale online, be sure that you get quality seeds. Once you have your seeds, you are going to want to store them in a cool and dry place. Bear in mind that seeds can be damaged if they are exposed to extreme variations in temperature. So, to avoid exposure to this, you should place your seeds in an airtight container that is not readily susceptible to changing temperatures. Leave this container in a cool and dark place. Why does this matter? Keep in mind that seeds are far from lifeless. Although they may seem inactive, they're living organisms in a state of conservation. However, when a cannabis seed encounters humidity, the moisture serves as a trigger for the seed to initiate its awakening process, leading to germination. If this germination process begins while the seed is in storage, it can result in potential damage to the seed. Professional cultivators storing seeds will monitor the air humidity level, ensuring that it never rises above 9%. There are some that say that adding desiccants to the storage container such as silica gel packets which absorb moisture is a good idea. However, it is our opinion that this is a little dangerous and you don't want to completely dry out your seeds so we would simply say that you should keep them dry but do not recommend the addition of desiccants. How to Store Marijuana Seeds With The Right TemperatureStoring your seeds in a refrigerator or even a freezer is an option, but it's crucial to avoid frequent removals from these cool environments. Transferring them from the chilled surroundings to room temperature can lead to fluctuations that might potentially harm your seeds. So what is the correct temperature for seed storage? Well we would recommend that you keep them at a consistent temperature of around 5-7C or 41-45F. For very long storage you would likely want the temperature to be lower but this does then mean you have to be very careful for moisture and for freezing the seeds. If you've stored your seeds in the fridge or freezer, it's recommended to acclimate them before germination. The optimal approach involves leaving them in their packaging at room temperature for this purpose. When acclimating your seeds, you shoudl allow them to gradually reach room temperature over 12 - 24 hours as this slow transition helps to prevent shock to the seeds which can cause issues with their viability. Light Light acts as an energy source, or fuel, for the seed to begin the germination process. Therefore, it is vital to preserve your seeds in a dark place, away from direct light (both sunlight and artificial light). Improper storage of seeds, such as exposure to light or excessive moisture can cause the seed to degrade. Seeds that have degraded will often have be discolored or will have a musty smell or visible mold. Where can I get marijuana seeds?The above three factors are the most essential things to bear in mind when preserving your cannabis seeds.
