[Canalchemist]

i have some really awesome friend and it's a must to do some of things we all do on these boards, with out friends you wont be around long. so just be friend respectful and help where and when ya can and you will find there are a lot of very good ppl on these boards.

Good thread! I went and bought some small storage jars from a beauty supply, but those conical thingies look much better to me. Won't allow the seeds to be bumped around and get their hulls ground off.

Definately need protection..sent some seeds... obvously the mail ran them thru a roller ..made them into mush ...seed co had to replace.....

I wonder if .5 ml would do the trick, I used perfume sample glass viles for a while but thy were coming smashed lots of glass shards :(.
I would like to fit 10 beans snuggly, but if I buy a assload of them and they are two small then bummer, ah might as well just by the 1 or 1.5 and stuff some packing in there or sumthin.

u could pack in rice

 

[Canalchemist]

Rice sounds like a good idea, I have a pile of small wooden beads for art... I think its called art anyways, ha ha. I am going to try a few packs of beads in a bubble mailer. Turns out my conical tubes will be a while, slow boat from china i assume. I suppose it is the price you pay for a deal eh.

Seamaiden had seeds get all scratched-up from rice--
I use some rolling papers between the rice and seeds...

 

[Seamaiden]

Yup!

u could pack in rice

Now I save desiccation packs. Or, barring that, I'd pack 'em in cornstarch.

I got 5 lbs of color change desiccant a few years back, I use it in my gun safe, food storage, and all my regular veggie seeds. I think it was around $30 at a chem supply. Still dipping into it. The one I my safe I have to recharge every year in the oven.
The stuff is super handy. I saw a youtube guy using silica cat litter for his, get tonnes of it for next to nothing, but it hasn't been screened or cleaned.
Just used up my last Glass vial storing some old Indica seeds.
Cleaned out my cold storage and found some unmarked beans and they tested okay, so I am saving them for a rainy day.

U can buy bead containers there plastic at a craft store

 

[Canalchemist]

Hmm that's an excellent Idea and you just reminded me I have to go to the craft store ;) lol. Thanks Medusa I will be checking that out tomorrow for sure and let you know what I find.

How long, and at what environmental conditions, can they be stored in these, with a bunch of them kept in one of those racks?

 

[Canalchemist]

They are just little plastic injection moulded hunks of plastic, I imagine on there own they wouldn't be to good for long term storage. Could easily dry the seeds package with desiccant vacuum seal with oxygen absorber and store in a cool dry place.

The 1000 that I ordered arrived last week along with 2 more bags of 1000, think China messed up lol.

So now I have 3000 of these frigin things OMG.
