What is the safest way of marijuana seeds storing?

Caucious growers sometimes find themselves in situation of acquiring their marijuana seeds up to one year before the planned germination date. What is the best and safest way to store seeds ? Definitely it is a very important question, because you don't want to end up with dead seeds which will not germinate in the spring, exactly when it is too late to order a new pack of cannabis seeds.

First of all you should know that during natural winter dormant time marijuana seeds require proper low temperature and low humidity, lack of light and no oxygen that could wake it up. Perfect low and constant temperature can be found in the fridge, at the shelf where usual happy vegetables have their place. But note that fridge climate is always much to humid, so we have to protect our marijuana seeds from that humidity by sealing them in air tight plastic bag for the time of storing in the fridge. Your seeds are safe and will easily survive until spring or your desired germination time comes. Protect from light by putting your plastic air sealed bag in another paper bag to cut off the light.

Above procedure is known to protect cannabis seeds up to 3 years of time, but usually more than 50% of seeds die during third year of storing so probably you will get better results by germinating and planting them after second year maximum. There have been reports of dehydrated marijuana seeds being stored for 10 years and successfuly germinated afterwards, so if you plant to store some unique genetics for more than 2 years, dehydrate them with silica gel first.

With the best wishes of 100% seeds germination, below 3 strains that were reported being stored over 2 years and germinated above 60% of stored seeds:

A pure variety, never hybridized, imported from Afghanistan, grown in Holland. A weed from the good old days. Very broad leaves, 100% Indica. Mountainous conditions, over thousands of years have produced a very stocky, sturdy and disease resistant plant. Heavy buds with lots of resin. Some plants turn purple at harvest time. Rather high flower to leaf ratio. Aroma and flavour are heavy, almost medicinal. Very strong, physical, practically narcotic high. Sativa/Indica

For a pure afghani-indica I was expecting a big knockout and I wasn't disappointed with the "kick". I smoked a joint and it left me alone ! Very strong, physical, practically narcotic high. 8-9

Winner of the Cannabis Cup in 1989. All plants have guaranteed high yields, 25% has something special to it. Usually the lower branches collapse under the weight of the buds, it is advisable to tie them up. Cash cropper's delight. Even experienced growers continue to be amazed and come back to fill their garden with these heavy ladies. Somewhat variable. Approx. 1 in 4 females will be an extreme heavy yielder, with the longer flowering plants giving the biggest yields. Sativa/Indica

Like most big bud - mellow high with a nice taste, great commercial strain. 7,5-9
