Seed Storage
Seed storage refers to the preservation practices and environmental conditions used to maintain cannabis seed viability over time. Proper storage—typically in cool, dark, dry conditions—helps prevent degradation of seed coat integrity, embryo vitality, and genetic stability. Temperature stability (often 4–10°C), low humidity (below 10%), and exclusion of light are standard preservation protocols in seed banks and breeding programs. Seed longevity varies by genetics and storage method; some seeds remain viable for years under optimal conditions, while others degrade more quickly. Understanding storage science is fundamental for breeders managing germplasm collections and for seed libraries maintaining genetic diversity across generations.

Breeders depend on reliable seed storage to maintain parent lines, preserve rare or landrace genetics, and coordinate multi-year breeding projects. Proper preservation protocols ensure consistent germination rates and genetic stability when seeds are eventually used in crosses or foundational work.
