What you want to do is get an amber jar and put some rice inside it. Then take you pack of seeds and place them in there. Now there is some debate about this part. You can either store them in the fridge or freezer. Some say the fridge is better well others say the freezer is better. Me personally I store the in the fridge had a 100% sucess germination rate up to 3yrs. The amber jar keeps the light out and the rice keeps moisture out, all of which degrades seeds. Storing them in a cold enivorment also slows down the degration rate. I have heard of seeds store up to 10yrs like this and they were still able to germinate a couple. Every year your germination rate goes down, but in my opinion as well as other you are golden for about 3yrs with proper storage.

You don't need a fridge to store seeds, seeds are viable for many years provided that they arent exposed to water and accidentaly germinate. Millions of years has produced seeds for all plant species to last quite a long time. If you don't beleive me then why do supermarkets have seeds centers where you can buy seeds is packs? Jeez people marijuaan is not a different species of plants, man didnt make them.

yes, you are correct they do sell the seeds like that... however only 50-70% will germ. yes, a pack of watermelon seeds for 69 cents don't bother me to lose some........... seeds i bought from nirvana well, they are a little more important to me. thanks anyway for your input but i think i'll be storing them in the fridge.
