Long-term Cannabis seed germination capacity under combinations of storage temperature and seed moisture; supports storage-condition effects without assigning a universal shelf life.
Visual lesson 09
Seed vigor, aging & storage
Distinguish viability from vigor and connect storage time, seed moisture, temperature, dockage or contamination, and initial seed-lot quality to later germination performance instead of assigning one universal storage lifespan.
