How To Store Cannabis Seeds

How To Store Cannabis Seeds Reference Article Director, Joint & Parihar, Surendra & Dadlani, M & Lal, Sandeep & Tonapi, Vilas & Nautiyal, Prakash & Basu, Sudipta. (2014). Effect of seed moisture content and storage temperature on seed longevity of hemp (Cannabis sativa). Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences. 84. 1303-9. https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... How Does Storage Temperature Impact Seeds? Study performed on Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Seedling lengths (measured in cm) were compared across the following number of storage months... Storage Months: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 In addition at each storage month the moisture content of the seeds were also evaluated. Moisture Content of Seeds: 5%, 7%, 8%, 10%, 12% This was performed across three different storage temperatures Ambient: 10⁰C (50F) winter to 40⁰C (104F) summer 15⁰C (59F) -20⁰C (-4F) Ambient Storage Conditions: 10⁰C (winter) to 40⁰C (summer) The continual temperature fluctuations reduced the storage time across all seed moisture contents. Only the 5% moisture content seeds were able to have germination past 9 months of storage. 15⁰C and -20⁰C Storage Conditions Under these temperatures, if the moisture content of the seeds was under 10% seedling growth could still occur up to 36 months of storage However, if the moisture content is 7% or less than seeds had similar seedling lengths Look For Stated Moisture Contents… How Should Cannabis Seeds Be Stored? Low moisture content seeds (under 10% with 5% suggested) Cool (under 15⁰C (59F)) and dark conditions If you are looking to keep the seeds long term than taking the extra step to store the seeds in an environment that is -20⁰C (-4F) is justified.
