New Grower Question on older seeds.

[JJ05]

So I am looking at some Pakistan Chitral Kush and Peyote Purple seeds however I notice alot of seedbanks have been out of stock for quite sometime. I found a seedbank that has them and some Peyote Purple. I want to buy them, however I wonder if they are old stock being all other seed banks are out of stock and it dont seem Cannabiogen has remade them to replenish the stock. I know Cannabiogen let ACE release PCK. Maybe they have a fresher stock, Input??

Do you know when they last had them in stock? Chances are these are from the same run. If it's only been months, even a year, the seeds should be fine. I've grown seeds much older than that.

I am unsure of the last stock date. It is my understanding from doing some research these seeds were released in 2009-2010. If they were re released after that I dont know.

Just wondering how most breeders and seed banks handle short term and long term storage of the seed stocks?

Sorry if this is not a relevant question to the thread it just made me think

So they are likely to be between 2 and 3 years old. For something I really wanted I probably wouldn't hesitate buying them. Depending on how well they were stored they should still be viable to a high degree. Even if they were stored poorly I would still expect some to germinate.

Good question on how they are stored. I think most of the breeders here refrigerate but don't know how the big seed banks do it. I'll find out how Dope-Seeds stores theirs.
