Lets see your seed storage/hoarding vaults!

Sooooo i have a problem... I have become a seed hoarder.. my little thing i snagged from one of my kids random bins of shit is no longer going to cut it when I get my next GLG purchase.... so whats my next upgrade? Help me out seed hoarders! Keep in mind I want to keep this in my main fridge and not have my wife be too upset. Lmao

I have a mini fridge but I heard on another thread that the humidity isn't right in them and it can be far too humid for seeds.

I have several large silica packs in there. I learned that you don't want to use metal tins and accidentally leave the door cracked as well.... Tins had sealed packs in them but could have been bad.

If your beans are worth more than the mini-fridge u put them in; something is backwards

I love this take!!

hmmm so maybe I just need to spend some cash and get something nice...maybe a wine fridge that can control the humidity as well as temp.

I triple ziplock the bundle of packs and that goes into a mason jar in the fridge. hasn't done me wrong yet altho adding silica packs sounds like a good idea too.

Some beans are very expensive ; The cost and also the opportunity of it. You won't realize it until you go to get them 2 sprout. At the time u didn't care - 10 years later u want to cry perhaps u are the only one that had them.

If u plan on keeping them for a long time it's best to spend a bit for peace of mind as well as viability... Just my .02 I'm sure there are cheaper ways to keep seed

I have a vacuum sealer should I just vacuum seal them up?

Haha jk - I am unsure about the vaccuum sealer. I wouldn't.

@ilovereggae do u check the RH in jar before sealing or are u just going for it?

May try this but looking long term seal and forget.

I have my seeds in a freezer bag, wrapped in tinfoil, in another freezer bag with some rice, in the back of my fridge.

Ina safe as if there a fire i sure as hell don’t want to lose few thousand dollars worth of seeds. Lol

just what I've been doing for last few years. never checked rh, not a bad idea tho. I havent put a ton of thought into it. I go in every couple months to grab something to pop and/or add new stuff to my collection.

vacuum sealing the individual packs should do the trick tho i would think? then just cut them open when ready to use.

I vac sealed all my beans. Saves on space when.you have alot of em. Couldnt care less if the packs are alittle bent..aslong as the beans are safe and in a container who cares. Then off to the fridge.

Do you use smaller vac bags or just put a bunch of packs in a larger vacuum bag? Would there be any benefit of putting a desiccant packet sealed in with them? Would vacuum sealed bags be ok in a mini fridge as far as the higher humidity then a normal fridge? Thanks in advance!

I vac seal each breeder specifically..and then put all those vac sealed bunches together and then vac seal em all together. I leave em in a fridge so i wouldnt be sure on the mini fridge part.
