though i expect folks to come out of the woodwork to tell me that they just keep their seeds in the dark and have no problem, there are countless posts and recs to keep beans cold, dark and dry.
however, i have seen a few people post that the fridge harmed the germ rates.
what is the verdict on this?

also, what is the procedure when using from the fridge?
do i need to take them out 3 days in advance of using them?
Can i take them out and put them back in?
the process at the beginning of each grow is to get a single plant for many different strains. it sometimes takes a few seeds to get each slot filled with the correct strain. the problem is i would need to take seeds out, wait 3 days, germ for 3 days, check results, take out seeds and wait 3 days, then germ for 3 days again, then repeat again if neede that is a long spread of time to get all the germinations done. this makes the grow quite offset if running tent as a unit.

in case it matters: i have most of my expensive stuff in the fridge, inside a carboard box that is inside two freezer bags. most of the seeds are then in small baggies, small tubes or in their factor sealed packs. i kept anther stash of lower cost and self made seeds in my normal drawer in the lung room. is this ok? do i need to keep them there for now on?

i allways keep seeds for long term storage in the freezer with tea bags as dessicant bags, they work well and can be replaced easily. seeds woill last 12 yrs + if stored this way.
i also allow seeds to come up to room temp for 3 days, then pop into soil (potting compost, best quality JACKS MAGIC) you get what yoiu pay for these days.
