The best way to store cannabis seeds?

When it comes to storing cannabis seeds, proper packaging is essential to maintain their viability and potency. Here are some best practices for bagging and storing cannabis seeds:

1. Use Airtight Containers: Choose airtight containers such as glass jars, vacuum-sealed bags, or mylar bags. This will help protect the seeds from moisture, air, and light.

2. Temperature Control: Store the seeds in a cool, dark place. Ideal temperatures for seed storage are between 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C). Avoid places with fluctuating temperatures, like kitchen cabinets or near heating vents.

3. Humidity Control: Maintain low humidity levels to prevent mold and mildew. You can use silica gel packets or humidity control packs (like Boveda packs) inside the container to help regulate moisture levels.

4. Labeling: Clearly label each bag or container with the strain name, date of storage, and any other relevant information. This will help you keep track of your seeds over time.

5. Avoid Frequent Opening: Try to minimize opening the containers to reduce exposure to air and moisture. If you need to access the seeds, consider only taking out what you need and resealing the container quickly.

6. Long-Term Storage: If you plan to store seeds for an extended period, consider freezing them. Make sure the seeds are completely dry and in a sealed container to prevent moisture build-up.  Place the seeds in an airtight container and then in the freezer. This can significantly extend their lifespan, but make sure to allow them to come to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.

7. Short-Term Storage: For seeds you plan to use within a year, keeping them in a cool, dark place at room temperature in airtight containers should suffice.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your cannabis seeds remain viable for future planting.
