why are my seeds moldy

[corkushy]

I have about 300 Low ryder Diesel seeds in a plastic cigar tube.The kind that those little GAME cigarillos come in, anyways I put the seeds in there for storage and into my lock box. Today I opened the seed container and found two seeds stuck together with white fuzzies. what should I do are my seeds gonna go bad? should I take them out and let them dry a little or something?

yes remove from the container......air dry for 3 more dayz....slight air flow.........restore in air-tight container w/ sum
plain ....raw - uncooked white rice........it will help absort any moister in the future.......
ps.....probly need to store said container in a dryer cooler place........previous spot waz too damp and warm.............

I forget the name of the things....ugh...you know those thigs that come in new shoes or pill bottles that keeps shit dry....its like a cloth pack of lil plastic balls....anyway stick that or some rice ina container and put em in a dark place, that will eliminate any moisture, i keep mines in a mason jar with a desiccant!!! thats the word! haha! in a fridge.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I forgot to place a piece of paper in one of the jars and returned to see a solid mass of a couple thousand seeds. Broke the mass up and tried to neutralize the contamination. Once they are cleaned up, shouldn't be a problem again. I was told that they are trash now but they still germinate with good results, so ha!
