How Do You Store and Catalog Your Seeds?

[SCJedi]

My collection is nuts and it is time to try and organize them some.

I started with a quart jar with some rice in it. Then it and others were full. Pack sizes range from tubes to pucks to ziplock bags.

I want some kind of seed Rolodex where they are all in there alphabetically by name. The Rolodex need to be sealed for moisture but allow climate control.

I do have a spreadsheet with everything I have so that is a decent start.

Maybe some kind of a sealing Pelican case, or cases?

I've never had more than a few seeds at a time, don't know that struggle

First thought would be maybe divide them up into specimen pots or similar..

Each strain in its own pot.. They seal up well, might work

What about some of those playing card orginizers in a binder? Stick it in a case with silica packs, and into the fridge. Would work for breeder packs I would think, not so much for larger containers or big bags though.

Or maybe some of these little storage tubes.. easy enough to label

I have 4 large tupperware-like containers, and divide the beans into categories:
Primo regs
Primo fems
Briscos
Not likely to use

I keep them in the veg drawers of the refrigerators, and about twice a year I'll inventory pen to paper.

Filed neatly and in alphabetical order in a high dollar container in a climate controlled environment....

I use small amber essential oil bottles. I print out labels for them and store them in a hard sided case made for the bottles. Doesn't take up much space in the fridge. Pretty cheap on ebay or amazon.

I use little essential oil vials. The 1ml-1/4 dram vials will hold 50 seeds, give or take seed size wise. I put those in little dime bag size zip bags. And they all go into a tupperware with desiccant beads in the bottom. Then I store everthing in a mini fridge.

That's slick for homemade seeds and maybe small binders for breeder packs.

I've been thinking about a binder of these.All these seeds in their own small jewelry zipolocks and pocket if mine, or their own pocket if it is a breeder pack.The binder would then be put into a bigass ziplock or turkey bag with a twist tie and into a mini fridge.

Idea pilfered for non breeder packs.

Yup.

Lol..the Tupperware one is me for now.Shit didn't matter to me for years as my bean stash wasn't what it is now.
Some cool cats from Chucker's Paradise and riu have greatly contributed to this,and for that I am grateful and humbled.

I also have some Tupperware holding seeds. Also several holding cannibutter as well.

I use a big old tin that had cookies in it. Holds lots. I leave my seeds in the breeder packs. Its not sorted though. Packs are loose in it. I have fun going through it because you have to empty it to find what your looking for.
Sometimes you forget what you have lol.
Seeds i breed myself...at the dollar store there are packs of glass vials that have cork lids. I use those to store what i make. I add a little rice to keep the seeds nice and dry.
