From what I've heard if you can, store them in your refrigerator. I have a good 30-40 selected bagseeds from various strains inside the black plastic protector that comes with cyclone blunts, and they made my seeds smell like fruit punch, and hopefully influence that upon my plants

I'd question "forever". In the fridge they should have a shelf life of about two years. The longer you wait to use your seeds, the lower your germ rate will be. Storage for longer periods is possible if the seeds are frozen, but they need to be completely dry to prevent damage to the internal structure of the seed, and gradually brought back to room temp.

The best storage method is to keep seeds in the original breeder's pack in the fridge, which is usually hermetically sealed. Don't tear open the breeder's pack until you're ready to use them. If your seeds are loose, say from bagseed, put them in a film canister with a few grains of uncooked rice to prevent accumulation of moisture.

Bean storage/stress/hermies
permalink

Hey guys,

If you freeze your beans, would the thaw be considered "stressing" , and therefore increase the chances of hermies or is that only during the grow?

Also, is it better to freeze the little gals , or just keep em in a dark, air-tight environment at room temp or cooler?

Your if you please. Thanks.

Through all seasons of the year, Ive kept allot of seeds in a test tube wrapped with electrical tape for darkness, sealed off with a cork, on a shelf (at room temp) for over three and half years, and they still seem to germinate fine, the odd one crushes to the squeeze but I think they were unhealthy to begin with, no big deal.
