How long can cannabis seeds be stored?Updated 2 months ago

<p>With proper storage, seeds can remain viable for several years, though germination rates slowly decline over time.</p>

<h3>Storage guidelines</h3>

<ul>

<li><strong>Short term (weeks–months):</strong> Cool, dark cupboard. Keep sealed with a small desiccant pack.</li>

<li><strong>Long term (1+ year):</strong> Refrigerate in an <strong>airtight container</strong> with desiccant. Avoid frequent door openings that cause temperature/humidity swings.</li>

</ul>

<strong>Important:</strong> Let refrigerated seeds warm to <em>room temperature while still sealed</em> before opening. This prevents condensation on the seeds.

<p><small>Do not freeze unless vacuum-sealed and fully dehydrated—improper freezing can damage cells.</small></p>
