The basic idea behind proper storage is that the seeds stay dormant as well as healthy; at the same time, so when you need them to germinate and plant them, they are ready. Here in this article, we will go through the methods that will help you store Cannabis so that it lasts long.

Factors that affect the longevity of Cannabis seeds.

There are different factors that affect the longevity and health of Cannabis seeds. When all these factors are considered, and the seeds are stored accordingly, they tend to stay fresh, dormant, and healthy for a long time. Cannabis seeds can stay fresh and usable for a long time only if they are stored in a way that keeps them undamaged for as long as you want to keep them fresh. Preserving cannabis seeds depends on how well you store them and keep them away from damaging conditions.

The most important thing you need to keep in mind is to keep the seeds in their original packaging for as long as possible. Changing the packaging oftentimes can lead to the seeds coming in contact with the outside environment, so they can have the effects of moisture. Unnecessarily exposing them to these factors, even for a limited period, can affect your seeds' health. Keeping them stored in a sealed, air-tight container in a cool place that has no access to light until you need the seeds for actual use is the best way to keep them healthy. Keeping them in a refrigerator in a sealed container is also a proper way of keeping your seeds good to use even after a long period of time. You can preserve cannabis seeds better this way. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that unnecessarily changing the packaging and bringing the seeds in contact with humidity, changing temperature, and light can damage the seeds even if they are stored in a freezer. 

Also, it is important that when you are storing the seeds, a complete lack of humidity will also affect your seeds. There must be a certain amount of humidity in the container to keep your seeds healthy for use. Complete dryness will lead to your seeds getting dry and damaged.

Proper ways of storing Cannabis seeds so they last long.

How long the Cannabis seeds can last depends on the ways in which they are stored. If the factors affecting the health of your Cannabis seeds are taken care of, then storing them correctly will increase the longevity of Cannabis seeds for a good amount of time.

Try to keep them on paper towels, and light rubbing with the towel can ensure no extra moisture is left on the seed. After that, you can start packing the seeds. 

• When you are looking for ways in which you have to store the Cannabis seeds, it is best to look for an air-tight container for a properly air-tight sealed pack that will not let any interaction of the seeds with the atmosphere outside. It can be a plastic bag or a glass container that keeps the Cannabis seed locked inside, and the moisture in temperature is maintained. 

• The next thing that you have to do is to store the container or packet in a dark, cool place. A refrigerator is the best place to ensure your Cannabis seeds feel safe and healthy for a long time. If you have to use the seeds in just a few months, you can also bury them inside the soil so that it remains cool and the place is also dark. But if you are interested in using the seeds after a long period of time, a refrigerator or freezer is the best place to store them.
