The Seed Collectors Thread

How do you store your seeds?

I've always kept mine dry and in the dark. The temps will fluctuate with the house temps (70-85). I may have heard of using the fridge. What's everyones take on that? The first seeds I bred were collected in 2009, still sprouting in these conditions. I use little plastic bead storage containers. Much like the containers hash or keif comes in from the club. They got em at Michaels (craft store) and I've seen em at Wall-mart. 10 dollars gets ya 24 of them.

[TheLastWood]

Damn tardis u must be heartbroken. 2 epic strains. I'm sad for u.

Well you can try and claim them

which bastard seeds would that be a??

 

[TheLastWood]

Damn they must have x-ray'd ur package right? How else would they know? It was stealth.

i don't think x raying a pack that has seeds in it is going to show up as much under the x ray being that seeds are organic.. i'd think that they would act much the same way as say skin would in an x ray, not at all, lol.. now, i'm only guessing on this fact, but it seems to make sense to me..
i'm sure by now they well know what to look out for in the mail.. i've seen countless idiots right on this site post up pix of their package from the tude, showing the shipping label and everything, even wrote down what it said on the customs tag.. i was like wtf man, but some people will never fucking learn..
i i even asked one person to take down such pix, and they got all shitty with me and said that if they really wanted to know what the package looked like, they would simply order some seeds themselves.. i felt like climbing through my keyboard and strangling them, but what can you do..
i honestly think it's amazing that any seed orders get here some times, lol, but seriously though..

fuck, tardis, sorry to hear that man.

i got a package today from a trade...there was a hole in the side of the envelope and nothing inside, i really dont see how they could have just fallen out a rip that size, i think someone at customs kept them for themselves since i got no letter from them lol,...last time i dealt with this dude everything inside was completely crushed...

im with you racer, im surprised anymore when i get my package...people are very open with how they are shipped...fuckin idiots. one dude posted pics of it and you could easily read his address lol...i think i remember him gettin pissy with someone in that thread, it was probably you.

i keep mine in glass vials with desiccant in them, the vials are stored in a tackle box...seems to work for me. the fridge would help, at least i think it would anyway, but i dont think its necessary. i kept some bagseed in a cigarette pack cellophane that was singed shut, just kept that bag on a shelf in my closet, it was 5 or 6 years later that i sprouted them, i got around a 90% germ rate on those.

sounds like you got em stored right, should last for years to come.

I put mine in brown tinted glass vials, then fill the vials to the top with brown rice. Shake em around a lil bit so they are evenly distributed throughout the rice. Then I take this "snickers" tin, and fill it up with my collection of glass vials (labeled of course), and place it in the back of my freezer. I figure I will never be able to grow all the seeds at once, so I keep them in the cyrogenics chamber, until their day comes. I need to probably start loking for another tin, this one is starting to fill up. I need one strictly for my freebies.

Freezer huh? How long have you gone from the time you harvest the seed to newly emerged sprout?

 

[TheLastWood]

I don't do anything fancy with mine. I thought I could never grow all the strains I want, but now I think I can.

I'm just runnin thru everything I can get my hands on that sounds good or is elite. And I will have my all time favorites and keepers in a few yrs that I will get intimate with.

My little rom seedlings are the best lookin of the bunch. I can't wait, there my most anticipated strain. Probably been 5 yrs since I've had some rom

 

[THESkunkMunkie]

I just do the same as you aeviaanah with storing my seeds and they germ fine. As long as it's cool, dry and dark where you store them in your air tight container your golden imo mate.

Just got my order from Attitude.

Tahoe OG and the mix pack.

Be handy if they actually knew what was in this mix pack.
