Longest you stored a seed for??

Just curious what's the longest anyone had stored a seed or seeds for and germinated them successfully ??

Have a stash that is 2+ years right now. Had a Dinafem Power Kush that was harvested in January that was a freebie bought with autoflowers 2 years ago. Always store them in a dark and cool place.

well I kept some for 3 to 4 years

when kept dry, prepared seeds will last for a very very very long time...

a buddy of mine has seeds his parents had been collecting for years, i'd have to say they are any where from 15-20+ years. they always take a while to germ, but he manages to have a pretty good ratio of success.

the seeds had been keep in a air tight jar that prevents light from getting in & thats about it.

i've successfully germinated seeds older than 4 years

petflora, i was wondering if you did anything special to the seeds, did you add sea weed extract, or soak them in H2o solution, did you use the paper towel method, or plant directly? thnx..

hopefully on good advice, my extras are stored in a air tight container, with some rice to absorb any moisture, and I keep them in my spare fridge.... is that too cold? With the comment about the beans being stored in the freezer I cant imagine the fridge is too cold... just curious..

Plus if you see next months attitude deal, and are preparing to act on it, like myself, I may have quite a few beans in need of a good storage place....
