I tried that for a week or so with a handful… just moved them out and onto the heat mat last night. I’ve had at last a few in the water the whole time… they eventually just water log and die if they don’t sprout fairly soon.
I’m gonna pull the reigns back and just accept that I probably won’t have a full tent this grow… 2 out of 4 seedlings are starting their second nodes.
Inside these two soft coolers are 3 pint mason jars and the stainless thurmos is stuffed with baggies of seeds. Breeder packs are whole and homemade seed is all labeled F x m and the date. I don’t pull anything out on hot days because of condensation.
Followed a lot of the tips in this thread and got my seeds all stored away in the fridge. I saved the silica packets from the tents I bought and put a couple silica beads in with the seeds. Topped them off with some cotton and put the whole thing in a lunchbox in the fridge.
They’re each labeled with a little sticker that’s taped on so it doesn’t fall off. Then each one’s location is marked in a spreadsheet as a backup.
Proper, looks great borosilicate glass and aluminum lids hard to do better and still have easy access. Id expect 10 year shelf life in the fridge at 37F
People storing in plastic obviously wont achieve the longest vitality
But if they plan to sprout in a year or two…
Should suffice
I’m glad to hear the shelf life should be good for a while, I can’t grow where I live right now but I have a solid collection going, some are already over 5 years old. Mostly bag seeds to practice with until I actually know what I’m doing and can pop the high end packs I’ve purchased from skunk tek and csi
Yeah I wasn’t too worried just because I’ve seen people on here say how they found some seed in a drawer that’s 10 years old and still popped so I figured the fridge would be a good place for long term storage
