How to store cannabis seeds

How to store cannabis seeds

When a discount is in full swing in your favorite seed shop, you always want to buy a couple of seeds and stock up on an excellent strain for the future. However, the question arises: "How to store the seeds of marijuana, hemp, so that they retain their original germination longer?" As in the case of other plants, cannabis seeds love very specific conditions, when changing which, the germination percentage drops significantly. For those growers who want to always have splendid quality seeds with good health on hand, the Coffeeshop® seedshop has prepared this material.

General storage requirements for cannabis seeds

To understand how to properly store marijuana seeds is not difficult if you have at least a little experience in handling seeds of cultivated plants. All of them are sensitive to the following characteristics:

  1. Light. Keep the seeds in a dark place. It is impossible for both sunlight and light from lamps to fall on the container with “nuts”. With such contact, the seeds automatically germinate and deteriorate.
  2. No humidity. The best option is to store in the original sealed packaging. The seed must not be allowed to be in a humid environment - this also helps to start the growth process and subsequent decay.
  3. Constancy of temperature conditions. Seeds do not like temperature changes, therefore, with frequent changes in climatic conditions, the percentage of their germination noticeably decreases.
  4. No injuries. If you store a damaged seed, it will definitely not germinate.

At what temperature should marijuana seeds be stored

Preferably in a refrigerator where the temperature fluctuates between +4 and +8 °C. If it is not possible to place them in such a place, then a seller will do (but in this case, do not forget to control the humidity) or even the floor in your apartment. Cold air tends to accumulate at the bottom, so if there is no other option, keep an airtight container of seeds on the floor.

The main criterion for successful seed storage

Manufacturers know very well how to store cannabis seeds and do everything to ensure that their products have the best germination and quality. They create ideal containers that protect precious contents from the negative effects of the environment. By the way the factory packaging is well-thought-out, one can judge the responsibility of the manufacturer:

  • The container must be airtight– moisture must not get into it, therefore packages are often made of plastic.
  • The box reliably protects the seeds from light-they are placed in opaque, tight compartments.
  • In the package, a small air gap is thought out, preventing the deformation of the seed.

That is why the best place to store marijuana seeds is the unopened packaging of the manufacturer, hidden in the refrigerator. You can not freeze the seeds.
