How To Store Cannabis Seeds

How To Store Cannabis Seeds



How To Store Cannabis Seeds

Reference Article
Director, Joint & Parihar, Surendra & Dadlani, M & Lal, Sandeep & Tonapi, Vilas & Nautiyal, Prakash & Basu, Sudipta. (2014). Effect of seed moisture content and storage temperature on seed longevity of hemp (Cannabis sativa). Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences. 84. 1303-9.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277133135_Effect_of_seed_moisture_content_and_storage_temperature_on_seed_longevity_of_hemp_Cannabis_sativa

How Does Storage Temperature Impact Seeds?
Study performed on Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Seedling lengths (measured in cm) were compared across the following number of storage months…
Storage Months: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36
In addition at each storage month the moisture content of the seeds were also evaluated.
Moisture Content of Seeds: 5%, 7%, 8%, 10%, 12%
This was performed across three different storage temperatures
Ambient: 10⁰C (50F) winter to 40⁰C (104F) summer
15⁰C (59F)
-20⁰C (-4F)

Ambient Storage Conditions: 10⁰C (winter) to 40⁰C (summer)
The continual temperature fluctuations reduced the storage time across all seed moisture contents.
Only the 5% moisture content seeds were able to have germination past 9 months of storage.

15⁰C and -20⁰C Storage Conditions
Under these temperatures, if the moisture content of the seeds was under 10% seedling growth could still occur up to 36 months of storage
However, if the moisture content is 7% or less than seeds had similar seedling lengths

Look For Stated Moisture Contents…

How Should Cannabis Seeds Be Stored?
Low moisture content seeds (under 10% with 5% suggested)
Cool (under 15⁰C (59F)) and dark conditions

If you are looking to keep the seeds long term than taking the extra step to store the seeds in an environment that is -20⁰C (-4F) is justified.

Cannabis Seed Selection Options

Cannabis Seed Selection Options



Cannabis Seed Selection Options

Professor DeBacco

Dioecious or Feminized Seed?
Dioecious = have a 50/50 male/female ratio (theoretically)
Feminized = will produce a female plant

Dioecious Seed: Advantages
Have more genetic variability
Can produce pollen of chosen strain
Can offer more varieties to select from

Dioecious Seed: Disadvantages
Male plants will need to be removed (if not breeding)
Plants will have to be cared for that may not produce valuable yield
Will have to purchase more seeds than you need

Feminized Seed: Advantages
Vastly reduce the time spent culling male plants
Purchased seed number can more closely match total plant number
Cost? (Less expensive in some cases)

Feminized Seed: Disadvantages
Limited strain selection options
Can not use the seeds if you are a breeder
Potential negative impact on chemical profile
Cost? (More expensive in some cases)

How to Make CBD Oil-Based Products

How to Make CBD Oil-Based Products



🌿 Elevate Your CBD Mixing Game! 🌿
https://silversoninc.com/cbd

The incorporation of CBD into foods – as well as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals – is becoming one of the fastest-growing trends in the process industry.

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD is an oil derived from cannabis. It contains none of the psychoactive ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), so there is no ‘high’ from it.

A variety of different products such as beverages, gummies, snacks and baked foods containing CBD oil are now available. Silverson mixers are increasingly being used for R&D and small scale production in this emerging market.
