not so much expire, but there can be a decrease in germination rates on older seeds if they're not stored correctly..
you can keep seeds good for years and years if you keep them in freezer, in small vials with a dissident pack thrown in for good measure..

Kinda depends on environmental factors
But typically people can germ seeds up to many years old

I've taken the liberty to move your thread tov the growing forums rather than the cfl forum so you can get more answers

Man has stored seeds for thousands of years, in fact there's a dooms day seed vault in case of civilization is wiped out we can restart life on earth.

they (archaeologist/scientist) have found 8,000 year old seeds and have germinated them successfully. if you find them, grow um, they might be the best tree you have ever had the honor of smoking. good growing.

Yes! & No!

The Reality is your seeds will pretty much live for longer than your life expectancy on this earth. However the likenesses of you being skilled enough to propagate these seeds with a moist towel if you left it on the furnace for 10 years is not very likely at all.

Scientist have grown seeds from plants found in caves from as far back as 30,000 years. As far as I remember from articles. However who knows perhaps even further back, and perhaps I am just unaware. Their is an emerging field in marijuana propigation, for advanced growers that includes advanced techniques in all facets. However the field you where questing was propagation. the answer in short is pretty much no in the term of your life time. If you take care of your seeds you may not have to worry about of advanced methods but if you wish for a perfect 99.99% chance of that seed popping up guaranteed as long as all other precautions are met. Micro Propagation is the answer. Consider it a sub-study field if your interested. In Micro-propagation it defies limitations that clonning or seed starting that many have learned to be truth.

heres some links to get you started if its too much for you Its understandable not everyone needs to know marijuana on a cellular level. But don't sell yourself short either. if you can read and right and use a level of common sense. You can do this.

this is the little summary of all my research on this emerging field in marijuana I freely give to whomever is interested. It was not easy together to where I am now and YouTube has a few pieces of information too. but rest assured you do not need to buy expensive kits all of this can be made in your kitchen.


Finally short answer. If you take good care of your seeds under controlled humidity, and no light, and cool temperature 50Deg Fer should be OK. they should be good for a few decades. Just remember the more advanced skills you learn the more guarantee you have for propagation. Good Luck and Happy Grows
