When you buy cannabis seeds online, it is important that they are treated with care and stored properly. Seeds that are not stored properly can become unable to grow, saving you the time and money of finding a good seed bank. Once you have successfully purchased your seeds, you need to know how to store them properly for long shelf life.

Seed Bank

If you plan to keep your seeds for a long time, it is best to have your own seed bank. This will ensure that your seeds stay safe from molds and other damaging agents. When storing cannabis seeds, make sure you store them in a cool, dark place where they cannot be exposed to the sunlight or excess heat. The temperature should always be between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Keep Out of Reach of Children

One of the most important rules of storing cannabis seeds is to keep them out of children's reach. This means that you need to have a place where they can be locked up and out of sight while still being easily accessible if you need them for germination.

Add Desiccant Packets

You can purchase desiccant packets from any garden center or pet store. The desiccant packets are available in small, medium, and large packs and will keep moisture from getting to your cannabis seeds. You'll need to place these packets in your seed bank and check them regularly to make sure that they are still white. Once they start turning brown, it is time to replace the packet.

A packet of Silica Gel

You can also purchase a silica gel packet from a garden center or pet store. This type of packet is a little more expensive than desiccant packets but will provide the same effect. To use silica gel, you must take a small piece and place it into an envelope cut open on the top side. Once you have placed your seeds inside, seal them up and put them back into the seed bank where your other seeds are stored. You can place this packet directly on top of the other packets to ensure that your seeds stay fresh.

The tips mentioned above are helpful and will help you in storing your cannabis seeds for a long time, giving you good results. However, if you plan on purchasing seeds, it is suggested to research the seed bank thoroughly before making your purchase. This way, you can be sure that the seeds' quality is there before investing all of your money.

Nowadays, it is possible to buy cannabis seeds in many countries (where it is not strictly illegal). They are not sold legally in every country, but you can find them in head shops or online merchants. They are usually labeled as "fragile" or "keep away from children" and packaged without any hint of the contents inside.
