Storing seeds

I've been reading quite a bit about storing seeds being that I have enough that I probably won't need to get more in the next 2 years.

Seems most people place them in an air tight container and put them in a cool dark spot or in the fridge with desiccant packs.

I'm thinking about not only low humidity but temperature fluctuations as well after reading about long term seed storage.

So I dried out a silica gel pack I had and tossed it in a quart mason jar with my hygrometer. Within 3 minutes it dropped below the 20% humidity threshold of my hygrometer. I've read that 5-9 humidity is perfect for storing cannabis seeds. I've read that freezing them is good, as well as bad. I'd rather not store my seeds in a fridge or freezer in case I have a power outage or I move.

Currently my beans are in the packaging they came in sitting in a jar in a drawer.

If anyone can explain some science behind seed storage that would be great. Obviously light, changes in humidity and temperature, especially rapid changes are bad.

I'm not too concerned about fluctuations in a fridge. I have a dedicated mini fridge so it's always dark and I rarely even open it. Glass jars w dessicant packs n seeds, however. Thing about a fridge, is you can take the seeds out and allow them to become room temp and throw em back into the fridge. Seeds will last for many years in this environment, even if the power goes out.

I'd never freeze seeds. Once they are unfrozen that's it. No more re-freezing.

I keep mine in my sock drawer under my socks. Seems to work for me.
