so humidity is bad for seed storage? Those packs really suck the humidity in and make it dry af kinda scary
Yup humidity is bad. The fridge can be great if you seal it correctly and forget about it. Problems occur when you take the cold storage bottle into a room with higher temperature and open it. Just like a cold soda in a warm room, the outside(and insides!) of the bottle will get pretty saturated with condensation. And then you re-close the bottle and trap the moisture if you're not careful, this is one area where the desiccant can be very helpful.
Nice dude good call, makes total sense. So don't just open the jar or whatever your storing it right when you pull it out of the fridge, and then also if you opened right away don't just chuck it back in the fridge.
You don't think that will cause any prob with temp variances? Assuming you pop seeds 3-4 times a year. It usually takes me a few mins to find what I'm looking for as they aren't organized. I put my Tupperware in the freezer with the door open while I'm searching as to stay in the cold zone. Once I separate packs with zip locks and a couple more Tupperware, the process will be even faster. I just dread the process of that lol.
I haven't had trouble with beans pulled from the freezer and heard many a dude use the freezer with no trouble. However, fridge works too. I just may be sitting on 10+ years worth of beans so the freezer is the best bet for me.
Not really, as long as you arent opening it in a 90+ degree room, open them in a cold room if possible. The changes in temp arent as harmful as introducing a bunch of sweat inside your storage container.
Yea that`s what my research also suggested. If you use the freezer its supposed to keep them viable longer, but you dont want to take them in and out all the time.
