I keep mine in a dedicated mini fridge, which is rarely opened. No light gets in. I use mason jars and add silica desiccant pkgs as well. most home refrigerators can have a lot of humidity fluctuations, in addition to unwanted light.
sometimes the older seeds develop dense seed coats and require scarification with sand paper to germinate. well formed seeds shld last 10, 20++ yrs with good storage.

Will look to see if a 20 year old seed has ever been grown

certain plant seed varieties have been stored up to 100 years and germinated. ppl have successfully germed 30 yr old cannabis seeds, i presume.

Only talking about one specific seed here

I'm not. The longevity of seeds is fascinating. If some plants can be germed 130+ yrs later, cannabis beans sure as heck can make it past 50 years, or more.

They should and I wish they did , still looking for longevity of this seed over 6 years none found

Try a few different methods of germination and you shld at least have some luck. Place sand paper inside of cylinder and roll the beans around inside to lightly sand the outside of shell, that may help.
The humidity was too high in your fridge, light didn't help. Your storage containers are not sealed, power outages mess with their dormancy too. Next time, add a bunch of rice as an econo desiccant.
I'm all over this longitudinal experiment:
Five of the original 20 seed-containing bottles buried by Beal remain in their hidden location on the MSU campus. The slumber of the seeds will remain undisturbed for another 20 years until 2020, the 140th anniversary of Beal's experiment.

My containers are air tight I don't have power outages I pay my bills have had pollen stored for over 6 mo that was still fertile ,your criticism is misplaced

just brain storming and trying to help. sounds like you'll be shopping and storing new beans. the pill bottles i see in your picture do not qualify as airtight. dessicant is a must.

yes
5 years is nothing
almost all my stock is 5+
some freezer, some dresser drawer, shoe box.. some loose in my trucks tool box in tx weather i forgot about..ziploc bags vials, whatever.
i generally advocate 60 and 60. 60rh 60°....respiration occurs and seed can repair damge
even 20+ stock does fine for me in this environment.. even crushed seeds give me 50% rates or so
freezing is good though for a very long period... not discounting what abe said
how are you germing?
is probably the most important question

Nothing sounds like Ma Deuce other than a Ma Deuce; your neighbor is a moronATF was just at my place. Apparently my neighbor said I was shooting off a 50 Cal. machine gun.
They actually didn't care if I was, they just wanted to know if it was registered. I don't even own one.

I bet it's the same one that's been calling the government on me. We told the ATF we have family over and blow off tannerite with our guns all the time. Even invited them in but they declined. They said they'll disregard any future reports.
