Water will promote mold and destroy all your work . The best option is to place the seeds in a vacuum-sealed container . I use vacuum-sealed mylar bags for this . Place the mylar bag into a bigger clear bag with desiccate material and vacuum seal . Make sure no desiccate material contacts the seeds as this will destroy them . Now you can place in a refrigerator or freezer for up to three years . Depending on the strain I have created I take the extra step of using a glass vacuum container to add another layer of protection .
Seed Storage
Now that our seeds are graded by quality , storage and germination rate are the last steps . Storage is straight forward with the overall goal being not to let any water onto the seeds .
“ Germination rate indicates a seed ’ s viability and quality , and allows for adjusting planting rates for a determined plant population .”
The very last step is germination rate . Most growers will pop up to 100 seeds to calculate the average germination rate . If sorting has been done properly an average of 95 percent is achievable . However , different factors can affect germination and cause the germination to be 80 percent . Germination rate indicates a seed ’ s viability and quality , and allows for adjusting planting rates for a determined plant population .
