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.
Primary visual specification
Seed storage condition to vigor-loss matrix
Create an academically accurate seed storage condition to vigor-loss matrix for the Seed vigor, aging & storage lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.
