I read where some people freeze their seeds before germination. Why is this and is their any real purpose to doing this?

SS

Seed life can be maximized by Freezing - which will increase shelf life 4-5 times or
Refrigerating - which will at least double it. In all cases it is essential that you
avoid condensation - which could shorten a seed's life.

Dont do it..... It would Produce a really low chance of the seed ever germing.

They do freeze seeds for preservation but they are instant crogenically frozen.

Cool and Dry is the way to go..

Best Way To Store Seeds

i have only ~90 seeds. if i got more than 200, i would freeze them, but i dont see any reason why i have to freeze them now.

anyway, some say freezing is bad idea, but some say it immitates winter and helps them germ.

i really dunno. if you got many seeds, you could make a test, but im short.

no freezing them is no good i froze around 300 of mine and i was lucky to get 1 to germinate.
the same seed just stored in a dry area had close to 100 % germ rate,,so no i would not do it unless you have plenty of seed to waste....

wow bro.. 300 seeds, that must hurt.. maybe you froze them wrong? hmm, i read somewhere if you freezing your seeds you have to make bag vacuum sealed and they have to be compleatly dry..

I've germinated seeds from A-dam that must be 3-4 years old, but I've only kept them in the cupboard.

As far as for a part of the germination cycle, it may work for some, but I thinkit's unecessary.

nah only shit bagseed,they were dry and vac packed ,but i think any freezing needs to be done fast not just in a deep freeze.or maybe i just left them in the freezer too long[7 months]
