Rc seeds expiration

[kat_92]

Hey all, 

has anyone had success using RC seeds that have been in the freezer for a while? I’m talking like 2 years

I’m in the same boat. Feeling slightest tingling and going to dose with some 2 year old seeds that have been wrapped up very tightly in the freezer the whole time.

I don't think anyone can confidently answer this question, but it won't do you any harm to try.  And you can get seeds expressed to you from https://www.shamansgarden.com/p-251-rivea-corymbosa-seeds-ololiuqui.aspx   (Some years back, I asked three seed suppliers about storage. None recommended freezing; all recommended a cool dark place; all said that six months was probably the max before potency diminished.  However, I'm not really sure that they actually know, and it is of course in their business interest to put a shorter duration than might be true (if they know).)

Hey @CHfather it sounds about right. I will store in the fridge from now on. I have stored MM in the freezer with no problems. I’ll change up my strategy. Thanks

There are some seeds (not sure about RC) that can be stored for 5-6 years but they are organic material and will break down over time naturally. The most important factors to consider are light, moisture and temperature. I store my garden seeds in zip locks with a paper towel inside the zip lock and then inside a mason jar in the garage fridge.
