so if u freeze your seed cold enough it could be viable for a really long time..

I think this article is extremely interesting even if it is 3,200 years old,but it's not.It's 32,000 years old!

notice they extract the viable tissue into vials, and from there they tried to get a plant going. I think there may be more to look at than just putting ceeds in a freezer, something about it may damage the ceeds so i'd research further into this before just going ahead and freezing your ceeds.
what i'm trying to say is they didn't just find some 32,000 year old ceeds and put them into a paper towel and then into soil, they had the equipment that was necessary to do it properly and stuff.

Freakin cool article thank you!

That is very interesting. If only they would uncover a 32000 year old cannabis strain. I would kill for some ancient genetics.

However, older does not mean better.
