Seed Storage

    I’m new to growing, I’m actually planning my first grow, and I have a couple of questions about storing seeds. What’s the best method of storing and how long will they last? Thanks!

    I keep mine in tupperware in the fridge. I’ve got seeds over 20 years old that still pop.

      Do you also put them in a bag that protects them from light?

        I’m pretty sure the light goes out when I close the fridge door, haven’t actually checked, but…

        Nah, I just use whatever container they came in or had on hand. Old pill bottles, paper caches, those tiny little zip lock bags.

          Thank you! I have a mini fridge I used to keep mycological specimens in that I think will work perfectly for this!

    I keep mine in a cigar box with a silica pack I stole from a pill back to keep stuff dry….i bought the cigar box for a single dollar at my local cigar shop!

    According to Rasta Jeff who I listen to regularly he says store seeds in a dark dry place…being that he’s a seed salesman I bet he’s right on!

    I’ve been thinking of buying my seeds a small high quality wine chiller. Anybody got feedback on that idea?

      A $50 mini fridge will work.
