 Methods To Correctly Preserve Cannabis Seeds Cannabis seeds, with their hard outer shell, look pretty hardy. And while nature has clearly designed them to withstand a wide variety of conditions, cannabis seeds aren’t indestructible. Sudden changes in temperature and high humidity, for example, can quickly ruin batches of seeds. Luckily, maintaining your seeds is simple. Keep reading to discover how. Your Seeds Are Alive Lots of people forget this, but it’s worth remembering: your cannabis seeds are living organisms. Before they grow, however, they are in a condition of rest, similar to some animals when they sleep. And like all living things, seeds can die. When preserving your seeds, you’ll want to offer them the best conditions to ensure they last until you’re ready to germinate and plant them. Ideal Conditions for Cannabis Seeds Cannabis seeds have four main enemies: HumidityTemperatureLightOxygen Preferably, you want to keep your seeds in cool, dark, and arid place. Whenever possible, keep your seeds in their original packaging. At Royal Queen Seeds, we’ve specifically designed our packaging to shield our seeds until you’re ready to grow them. If your seeds get hit by light or rapid changes in temperature, these conditions will cause them to deplete their nutrient stores before they ever reach soil, meaning they won’t have the nutrition they need to sprout. Excessive humidity, on the flip side, can encourage fungi to develop on your seeds. Effects of Humidity on Cannabis Seeds Humidity is easily one of the biggest threats to your seeds. Here is how various levels of humidity (% relative humidity) influence your cannabis seeds: Levels of Relative HumidityImpact of Humidity on Cannabis Seeds80 – 100%Seeds sprout.40 – 60%Seeds increase respiration and storage fungi become significant problem.20 – 30%Temporary storage.18 – 20%Intermediate storage.12 – 14%Prolonged storage.8 – 9%Shorter longevity than seeds stored at slightly higher humidity. Seeking advice on handling humidity for your plants? The Grow Guide gives key tips for keeping healthy development environments. Storage Methods to Store Your Cannabis Seeds For short-term storage, dim cupboard or drawer with steady temperatures is generally fine. Try to keep your seeds away from areas of your house that are prone to the typical temperature changes of your local environment. If, for example, you reside in a region with very hot daytime temperatures and low nights, try to safeguard your seeds from these changes and don’t place them outside in garages or garage. For long-term storage, it’s best to keep your seeds with desiccants, such as silica gel, in sealed container inside the refrigerator. Remember that accessing the door of your fridge can actually produce some pretty major temperature shifts. If you happen to have another fridge that gets opened less often than the one in your kitchen, use that one to preserve your seeds. Again, if possible, nativesusa.com) keep your seeds in their initial packaging. If you do break packs of seeds and have leftovers, transfer the additional seeds directly into a sealed container. Ziplock bags, for example, are excellent because you can eliminate all the air from them to create practically vacuum-sealed container for your seeds. Once sealed, put your bag inside dark plastic bag or opaque container to protect your seeds from your icebox light. Low-humidity fridges are the best to store seeds. The problem is when there is dampness in the fridge, since humidity is the most dangerous enemy for seeds (more dangerous than temperature, light, oxygen…). For this reason, it is preferable to store the seeds in No Frost fridges. Can You Preserve Seeds in the Freezer? Yes, cannabis seeds can be kept in the freezer. The colder the temperature, the slower they decline. However, it’s usually not required to freeze your seeds. Maintain the conditions we outlined above, and you should be able to keep your seeds for up to 5 years and still get excellent germination rate. Understanding Which Seeds to Plant and Which to Store When you’re ready to sprout your seeds, examine them and germinate any seeds with issues to the outer shell first. The shell of your seeds is designed to protect the sensitive genetics inside. Seeds with cracks in the outer shell are much more vulnerable and can’t be stored. At Royal Queen Seeds, we pride ourselves in our work and want to ensure every grower only has the finest genetics in their garden. That means we inspect all of our seeds before shipping. If you notice any damage to your RQS seeds, reach out with our support team immediately. Techniques for Germinating Older Cannabis Seeds We’ve all located an odd seed somewhere at the bottom of old drawer or cupboard. Here are a few tips on how to sprout weed seeds: Soaking with enhanced carbonated water Before sprouting your old seeds, try immersing them in carbonated water enhanced with fulvic acid, enhancers, hydrogen peroxide, or gibberellic acid. For optimal results, use ambient water and soak your seeds for twelve hours in dim place. Scratch your seeds Aged seeds often have an extra tough outer shell. Gently scratching this shell with fine sandpaper can help moisture and warmth reach your seed at the time of germination. Try gently scarring your old cannabis seeds just before soaking to help them germinate. Take off a seed’s ridge The ridge is the slightly elevated side of your seed. Like other parts of the shell, this ridge can become extremely tough over time. Removing it gently with a sharp Stanley blade can help your seed grow. Cut open your seed In desperate attempt to germinate your seeds, creating small cut in the shell may help. However, this is no magic solution, and you’ll need to be careful to avoid damaging the inside of your seed. If you damage the embryo, the seed will never grow. Remember, some old seeds just won’t sprout no matter how long you try. Whenever possible, avoid getting more seeds than you will plant so as to avoid having any problems at the time of germination.
