You can store it as long as you want to

There are really no good or bad ways to store it.

(I think) the longer you leave it the stronger it gets

anyway post this in the cannabis.com lounge and you'll get a lot more replies :)

I think you're wrong there. Pollen doesn't get stronger the longer you store it. Thats a little counter-intuitive don't you think? Pollen is the plant equivalent to human sperm, made of one vegitative cell that splits when it fertilizes a female plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollen
Now, I can't give you an estimate on how long pollen lasts, but I would recommend you keep it in a dry, dark place and use it soon.

Happy growing! :thumbsup:

lol what on Earth are you talking about? how can sperm grow stronger over time, that's like saying the load you blew all over a kleenex three weeks ago is going to breed super soildiers!

in all dutch coffeeshops weed & hash is stored in air tight containers, they know what there doing with the stuff.
as for how you can keep it, i wouldn't keep it longer than 6months, i found a bag that was lying around for about that long, it had gone really hard and tasted shit, got stoned though.

if you dry it and keep it in a bag then freeze it...it will last for 6-12 months...maybe longer. there is no definite length of time pollen (it's either good when you need it, or not.) will retain it characteristics.
