They will last longer in cooler, drier conditions.My room is roughly 85-88 as Im dealing with seedlings and leaving my window open. Are my seeds in danger of losing potency or anything. RH is 55-60 but in the drawer I have them tucked away in probably not that humid.
True, guess Ill just move em till my plants are out the seedling stage. I just hate not having shit in my room. Whats your opinion on a week or two then temps around 73-77? Still gonna move them, just gauging the potential damage from the few days my room has been like this.They will last longer in cooler, drier conditions.
Yea seeds. I kniw the best way to store them, my rooms usually fine for storage. Just gauging if I damaged my seeds from a few days of it being kinda hotish. Only 86 max in my tent under a light, so prolly not too bad in my drawer on the other side of the roomKeep mine in ziplock in fridge if we are talking seeds and not seedlings
true thatCool , dark and dry my friend... that's the winning ticket.
If you could seal them air and water tight you could burry a jar about 3 foot deep and they be as happy as a greased sleeping bag full of AK47strue that
I guess what Im asking is, do you think a few days of it being 83-85 degrees hurt the seeds. I mean Ill find out eventually. Just looking for that specific answer.I keep my seeds in an opaque container with a large moisture absorbing silica gel pack in the refrigerator.
It's a matter of probabilities. The more the seeds are exposed to unfavorable conditions, the less likely they will be to germinate in the long run. That's as specific as I can get. I bet there are scientific journal articles where experiments were done to determine the germination rates of seeds stored in various conditions, but I haven't read any of them.I guess what Im asking is, do you think a few days of it being 83-85 degrees hurt the seeds.

Forsure, I moved them to the basement so theyll be good till my room has a decent temp.It's a matter of probabilities.

Thats a good idea actually, I have them all in bags they came in besides my GDP seeds. They came in this little plastic tubeI have a bunch for next season just put them in pill bottle inside a bag and then put that in a mini fridge. From what i gather that's the way to go for anything over like 6 months
Hurt ? Probably not....I guess what Im asking is, do you think a few days of it being 83-85 degrees hurt the seeds. I mean Ill find out eventually. Just looking for that specific answer.
