Sounds like a great line-up! Looking forward to more about your current grow and the next one as well. You certainly know how to grow beautiful ladies!

I have a question for you. How do you store your seeds? My best friend is a master grower and he told me to store them in the freezer. Well, I just tried to germinate 2 Lucy's that had been stored in my freezer for 3 months and nothing happened after 14 days.
I soaked them for 24 hours in water, put them in a mini-hempy cup with FFOF mixed with perlite, the top 33% of the cup, like I have done for all the others. The only change, of course, is the seeds coming out the freezer.
I have had 100% germination rate on 20+ seeds, until now. As you might guess, I'm kind of bummed out on losing two Lucy's!
I have been keeping my seeds in my dresser drawer. I didn't think about storing in a fridge. My seeds normally germinate in 24 to 48 hours.
My White Widow seed came from last grow. It was a female plant. It is not going to germinate. I am replacing with a LUCY seed.
Now thats' a good replacement!
Mason jar in cool dark spot...too much hum in fridge...Dam shame about the seeds..
I don't know what kind of fridge you have, but most work by pumping out the water...lol most seed vendors will tell you to store them in fridge and I do now.
Refrigerators and Humidity!! I liked both responses because I love lively debate. However, I agree with Sisco on this one. Frigerators have evaporator coils that removes the humidy. I know this because I have actually dried and cured buds in my freezer. They were the best cured buds I have seen. The only problem is it takes a long time to cure that way.
Below is an answer about humidity and refrigerators I googled...
Refrigerator humidity can vary wildly. If left closed for an extended period, it can become rather dry (under 10%)since the air is being forced over a chilled coil causing moisture to condense and drip away. But open the door on a hot summer day and the humidity level will shoot up to near 100% almost instantly as the cool, dry air collides with the warm moinst air. Ever see the fog that rolls out of an open fridge or freezer? That's 100% relative humidity and indoor 'rain'. Remember; it's all "relative". 100% at 35 degrees is not more than 75% at 70 degrees.

But according to that, you only have low humidity if you never open the door....So, really, both Sisco and Miwa are right....but regarding keeping seeds in there, it would seem to be a bad idea....unless you had yourself a nice little fridge that was designated for your seeds!
I agree 100%. If you are going to store your seeds in a fridge. It should be one that is rarely opened. I have been keeping my seeds in a dresser drawer and that works for me.
wow...fridge that pumps out water...after it pumps out the water...where does the water go...How refrigerators work: A simple introduction to the science of fridges and freezers - Explain that Stuff!
Humid air inside your fridge contains water vapor. When the refrigerator cools, this water turns to ice. The coldest part of your fridge is the icebox at the top. That's because the expansion valve is placed right next to it.
