Cannabis seed storage need help??

[Moneybags_03]

So I had my seeds placed in freezer tried germinating about 4 of them none of them popped after 7 days. What would happen if I took them out and stored them some place else?

You didn't mention if you threw the seeds under 4 inches of earth, paper towel method, etc. for the 4 that didn't pop. Are the seeds 80 years old?

A little more info please.

You know u let them defrost slow at room temp before trying to germ em right ?

I don’t use a freezer. I store mine in the fridge in a lunchbox inside a ziploc with rice. The lunch box helps prevent the temp swings of opening the door…if maybe you wanna try that next time. I’ve never had a problem

I store mine in a drawer unless its old old its fine long as there in a cool dark place people overthink it with storage imo cos unless where you live is pretty hot then id maybe think twice but i aint got that problem.

I think freezing one time is ok for most seeds but once thawed freezing them again will stop most if not all from germinating.

This is not my experience, but maybe I've been very lucky. I've wisened up and try to keep them frozen until I'm ready to germ them.

I lost several 100 NL5Xhaze F2 s When with a several day power out and couldn't get but 1 to pop. Call it bro-science but it's my thoughts.

I think there's a variable window where they can thaw and re freeze without issue. Multiple days is rough... you have my condolences.

I keep mine in freezer bag, with Silicon Desiccant. A BUNCH of them, and then I put the freezer bags, in Tupperware, with more Desiccant.. I try and keep them 34f 37f.
I get 80%- 90% germination, at 10 years. If they were good seeds, with no issues, to begin with.

Kept in fridge in containers, get about 80 to 90 % strike rate on 10 plus year seeds ,if you value your collection, fridge is it

I store mine on the bottom shelf of the fridge in a tupperware container.. Just had 100% germ rate on
8 year old seeds..
