[cwesto]

Basically I was going to put a bunch of rice in a tupperware, put seeds in a lill baggie and out the baggy in the rice tupperware and seal it up, pop it in the fridge

Is this ok?? Will they be able to germ down the road???

I dont mean to sound impatient or anything, but i kinda am rushed as i dont want me seeds to go bad. Looked in the FAQ's, but didnt find anything on storage of genetics. So if anybody can help me out here that would be :thumbsup: greatly appreciated.

I have had luck with keeping my seeds ~still in the pack~ in a dresser drawer....Stays cool and dark... Have you ever poped any bag seeds from a fat sack of POORLY mistreated schwag... and they pop like crazy... :stoned: BUT... for long term storage.. You could get you some air tight containers and some uncooked rice.. or ... some silica.. :thumbsup:

Keeping the seeds moisture free is the most important thing. How long they are going in storage, kind of determines the best method....Text

They will probably go into storage for 3-4 months. And the temp and Humidity of my house is very unstable... so i figured fidge??

i stored about 20 white widow seeds in the fridge for almost a year and six of six just germinated a few weeks ago...i wrapped them in a paper towel and put that in a small cardboard box to sheild the light and they kept fine.

not sure if i did the textbook thing..but all my seeds germinated!
