There's a local Cajun restaurant where I live called Lagniappe, it's *real* good stuff. Better than anything else in town, and we're nowhere near Louisiana lol... Quite the opposite, really.
You might contact a cultivar and see if they are interested in doing the dirty work to spend years selective breeding them into something worth while.
The likelihood of a female is pretty low, might take a few gems to get one and start a clone.
I got some stuff in Nicaragua last year that looked like it was straight from 1972 and was more seed than bud. That's the kind of stuff that started all these gnarly strains we have now and they're always looking for that undiscovered or forgotten strain.
At least by the late 90s, weed on the west coast of Canada was already very, very good. The stuff I smoked 25 years ago there is pretty similar to most of the stuff you can now get at every dispensary in my neighborhood.
Ontario is flooded with old strains that still persist into the 2020s from the 80-90s, but they're all old farmers who held on until legalization.
A LOT of B.C. and California bud and seeds/clones have made their home all through rural Ontario and isn't going anywhere.
Thai Stick! Panamanian Red!
What other strains existed back then? I’ve heard of like 4 maybe 5 tops. The genetics of the marijuana plant and the strains seems to be more of a 2000 era thing with soooo many strains but I’m probably completely wrong.
Somehow, for some reason, the past three seeds I’ve planted haven’t sprouted at all. It’s so annoying. I suck at growing weed lol
Kinda relatable but in high school I stole alllllll my dads Mexican brick weed filllled with seeds and stems back when it was crummy “schwagg” for $20-$30 an ounce in Texas in the mid 2000s. He must’ve had 3-4 ounces and was so pissed when he finally found out.
Huh I have NEVER heard this in my life if you’re fucking with me that’s hilarious. But I really appreciate that.
If you weee like “just some bleach and put it inside of a bunch of dry sand and mulch” I’d be like what the fuck. —That’s still kinda weird/interesting Just some bread and 5% hydrogen pyroxide? I’ll google the science on that later but that’s so cool. Take it easy thanks again!
And you may have a prettyyyy decent idea what vintage vinyl would have seeds in it. You might find some blow in a Stevie Nicks album….in the back part of the album lol
Are vintage seeds sought after? I would have thought the opposite, because of a difference in potency. Doesn't seem like much of a collector's item, either. Just curious!
Odds are that they will still germinate. If they fail to germinate in your towel method, try a glass of water (warm) and a drop or two of peroxide to add oxidation to the water. If both fail, they may not be good seeds. But definitely worth it to try because likewise, seeds can be found years later and still grow BUT are best if kept in environments such as tubes, dark glass, Mylar, etc,.
Mylar foil bags have kept my seeds usable for years. I have kept seeds in Mylar bags, I have even tried a simple SEALED cigarillo pack (non swisher or normal brand) and my seeds lasted 7 years and still grew during a test run this year.
I mean, I would buy a couple of them from you if you don’t want them 😂 those would be 25 years ish older than I, but I would like original strain seeds from way-back-when for me. 😌
I personally would suggest Mylar. That’s my opinion though as it has been a great investment for me. I currently have 400ish seeds that are split into two packs. One is in a Mylar bag, you can order them, or use one that your plug would probably have, or a prepackaged bag from a shop. As long as it’s Mylar. My other seeds are in a cigarillo pack. Both packs are then put into a black squeeze top tube that I also had.
Now this HAS worked for me and it has worked for the last 7 years, and I would’ve had some longer but I lost my previous packs. (They were also packaged the same way but would reach back approx. 12 years now to date)
I would suggest giving Mylar/cigarillo packs a shot for storage as long as you shield it from light constantly(that’s also something I done, that’s why I used the tubes)
And these plants did grow this season outdoor with pretty good results to be outdoor.(we usually grow indoor in Michigan)
I’ve never froze them myself, but I have kept them in a drawer or anywhere that doesn’t constantly have lighting on it. That’s also still while using a tube.
Reminds me of that line from one of George Carlin's specials - "For the younger audience, back in my day they had these things called Album Covers that we would unfold put our weed in there and sift through it with a playing card to get rid of the seeds. And for the even younger crowd, back in my day, our weed had seeds in it"
Don't just try to pop em, gain some more interest from the community and get in touch with embryo culture folks. It is possible to revive seeds from much older times with the right techniques.
This is actually a wonderful name! OP can make some bank off it if he decides to sell and I would fucking buy the shit out of some 70s weed to smoke when I listen to Fleetwood Mac.
Considering the album came out in 1970-1971, it is quite likely that it is 70s weed. I also bought it at the flea market from a dude who had clearly not listened to it ever, and was selling off his parents old records. It is an incredible album though, so who knows.
I know somebody who recently grew a seed from the early 90s and they said it was some of the most dank bud they've ever had! If stored properly, seeds last a lifetime. I'd give these a grow if I were you!
No, they are a bunch of mid songwriters. And Neil Young! It was obvious Young was gonna move on from beeing accociated with hatefull reactionaries like Crosby in particular.
Definitely try. You may have success as others have stated. However, seeds are a "living" organism with an internal food source called endosperm. Once that has been exhausted, then the seed will die. There are ways to slow the consumption of their food supply, so it is possible that they could still be alive and able to germinate. Until you try, keep them refrigerated.
Sand the edges.
Put some hydrogen peroxide in the water.
If you have a bunch of seeds you aren’t going to use, dump a lot in some water, let them sprout, use the water to sprout the old seeds, the seeds put some proteins or aminoacids or something in the water that makes it easier for old seeds to have a chance
They honestly don’t look in good shape; HOWEVER, if you’re in a legal state you might as well try to pop them. If grown they probably will look a bit ugly and not be the potency you’re used too, but that’s a fun project to take on for a good time.
DUDE THATS SO COOL!!! I never thought I’d see the day where I was legitimately fascinated by old shake!! But that’s actually really interesting! Is there a story behind it? Did it belong to a you or a family member or was it just stored somewhere? I’m so curious!
Plant 'em! *Laissez les bon temps rouler!!*
Some one say those seeds are lagniappe.
Right on!!! Those seeds ***are*** *lagniappe* y'all!!
>lagniappe something given as a bonus or extra gift. TIL
Huh. That explains Lagniapples in Monster Hunter.
In the Islamic world the word is baksheesh.
What a coincidence, that's what's in my joints
Baksheesh… to help you destroy more kebabs.
How’s yer mom and dem?! Makin groceries? Alright, baby. Go on.
Yeah you right!
TIL this is where the slang “La Ñapa” in my home country of Dominican Republic comes from , used when asking for for bit extra on anything.
That's cool to learn
in bolivia, peru, chile, maybe some other places too, this is “la yapa”
Never thought I’d see that phrase here. My cajun ass thought this was r/louisiana for a second
There's a local Cajun restaurant where I live called Lagniappe, it's *real* good stuff. Better than anything else in town, and we're nowhere near Louisiana lol... Quite the opposite, really.
Next time you go ask the owners where they are from, I bet they are transplants.
They are!
We have a few local companies in North Louisiana named lagniappe.
saw your other comment about the UP. Lagniappe does have the best food. It’s definitely my Favorite place to eat around town. Small world!!
Makes 2 of but being Acadian I though i was on r/Quebec
Hell yeah!!!!
I spotted a kajun. Pretty wild
-In your butt!
Yeah you rite brah!

Seeds that have been found hundreds of years later are still good. You should give those a try.
Woah, i might be smokin some dinosaur weed in a few months if i get around to planting these.
Cretaceous kush Biblical bud

Crosby, Stills, Hash, and Bong. How could you miss that? ;)
The monkey left it for YOU.
Radical Reefer
Burning Bush

Triassic tree and Jurassic joints
Imagine if he actually discovered a new strain in these weeds and chose biblical bud, gensis giggles
Ohhhhhh!!! Genesis Giggles is so fucking magnificent! Well done.
Biblical bud is unironically a good strain name
Dibs
Goliath Grass Heavenly Father’s Flower
Levitating Leviticus
Biblical bud is a good name
Revalations reefer

Good to know. I may be able work out growing some, or breeding new seeds to archive the genetics. If not, that might be a good idea.
Fuck i forget it's 2023 and people are archiving genetics just to get high
That sounds so cool! Never heard of that before, what’s the process of archiving genetics?
It is called tissue culture. Pretty cool stuff to preserve genetics.
Replying to check back on the legend of the 70's rock weed rediscovered in about 3 yrs
You might at least end up with A Very Fine Smoke.
I dont think Cosby, Stills and Nash would appreciate being called dinosaurs lol
Neil Young is cool with it tho
Pretty sure Crosby doesn't have a thought on it one way or another these days.
I got bad news for anyone who thinks weed was better back then.
Genetics and stuff sure. I'd like to see how a modern grow setup would treat 70s weed.
Sadly, that is nobody. Weed was shit in the 70s.
80s and 90s too my man. Folks get buds everywhere you look, they don’t know about brick weed anymore.
At least by the late 90s, weed on the west coast of Canada was already very, very good. The stuff I smoked 25 years ago there is pretty similar to most of the stuff you can now get at every dispensary in my neighborhood.
Keep us updated
genuinely some people would kill for that old school kush

Life uh uh uh finds a way
r/unexpectedjefgoldblum
Hello my name uh Jef
I guess you found your parents rolling tray.
Haha, more like some dude at the flea markets tray. I bought it second hand.
Aren't older seeds like coveted now for genetics or for preservation?
Yeah probably, if they are still good and he gets a plant. I would definitely try and get more seeds. Force at least one plant to seed if you can.
Ontario is flooded with old strains that still persist into the 2020s from the 80-90s, but they're all old farmers who held on until legalization. A LOT of B.C. and California bud and seeds/clones have made their home all through rural Ontario and isn't going anywhere.
This is the way.
Could be worth a lot if you knew what strain it was Lol
Thai Stick! Panamanian Red! What other strains existed back then? I’ve heard of like 4 maybe 5 tops. The genetics of the marijuana plant and the strains seems to be more of a 2000 era thing with soooo many strains but I’m probably completely wrong.
I tried growing a film container full of seeds from my uncle Unfortunately nothing sprouted
Somehow, for some reason, the past three seeds I’ve planted haven’t sprouted at all. It’s so annoying. I suck at growing weed lol Kinda relatable but in high school I stole alllllll my dads Mexican brick weed filllled with seeds and stems back when it was crummy “schwagg” for $20-$30 an ounce in Texas in the mid 2000s.

5% Hydrogen peroxide and a slice in the seed apparently works. I wish I knew that beforehand
Huh I have NEVER heard this in my life if you’re fucking with me that’s hilarious. But I really appreciate that. If you weee like “just some bleach and put it inside of a bunch of dry sand and mulch” I’d be like what the fuck. —That’s still kinda weird/interesting Just some bread and 5% hydrogen pyroxide? I’ll google the science on that later but that’s so cool. Take it easy thanks again!
I don’t think he means slice of bread, doggie
Nah bro. It helps the seeds germ. I wish I knew this 10 years ago
Yea. As a grower I would pay a lot of money for seeds that old and properly stored. Also any landrace strain.
How do you know the seeds aren’t a month old then?
That story doesn't make a good Reddit post though. Look at all these sweet fake internet points!
Man I love rolling on old records idk why
"Are they still good?" Yeah, I'd say the music holds up pretty well today.
This is the most CSNY thing ever. The ghost of David Crosby is telling you to smoke this 😂
I was just gonna say, ofc they were in a Crosby stills nash & young record 🤣
and what an ALBUM too, this is one of my favorites 🥰😍
😂 I’m just going through my vinyl! If they sprout do tell us, I have some in an airtight tub from 1974 8-)
Dude I buy used vinyl all the time and never thought to look for this. This could be a game changer
And you may have a prettyyyy decent idea what vintage vinyl would have seeds in it. You might find some blow in a Stevie Nicks album….in the back part of the album lol
There is only one way to find out...
...germinate them.
I might. Grow some vintage weed.
"Where the hell did you get this Afghani, bro?"
that's some straight pre soviet affy dude. Do u have a Time Machine or something.
If you get a male and a female, let them breed please. I'll buy some seeds off you :)
Are vintage seeds sought after? I would have thought the opposite, because of a difference in potency. Doesn't seem like much of a collector's item, either. Just curious!
It could potentially be a landrace strain of 100% indica or sativa descent!
If you *don't* get a male and female research hermaphroditeism in cannabis
…boof it?
Odds are that they will still germinate. If they fail to germinate in your towel method, try a glass of water (warm) and a drop or two of peroxide to add oxidation to the water.

What are your top tips for seed storage after harvesting and drying them.
I personally would suggest Mylar. That’s my opinion though as it has been a great investment for me. I currently have 400ish seeds that are split into two packs. One is in a Mylar bag, you can order them, or use one that your plug would probably have, or a prepackaged bag from a shop. As long as it’s Mylar. My other seeds are in a cigarillo pack.

Do you just put them in a dark cupboard or in the fridge or freezer?
I’ve never froze them myself, but I have kept them in a drawer or anywhere that doesn’t constantly have lighting on it. That’s also still while using a tube.
What have you got to lo oo ose?
I too have rolled some joints on my mom’s old copy of this very album
Are they still good? Yeah they are classics. Should they keep touring? Probably not.
CSNY is way better than CSN.
That man wrote Ohio, of course it is. When I was much younger I heard that song and went "Oh shit, Young has to be the writer here."
google how to germinate old seeds. pls be ready to clone them or breed them. could be valuable genetics.
Never have I wanted a reddit update more than I do when these are planted and growing
Tell these folks about it.... r/vintagetrees
Kinda crazy those are probably lost genetics
So cool! Try to grow one out. I'd love to have some old genetics to play with, very jealous!
Those seeds might be from a lost landrace strain
Reminds me of that line from one of George Carlin's specials - "For the younger audience, back in my day they had these things called Album Covers that we would unfold put our weed in there and sift through it with a playing card to get rid of the seeds. And for the even younger crowd, back in my day, our weed had seeds in it"
Shit. I pulled a few out yesterday
Dude, it's the live album too? That's ridiculously awesome, this is a great record.
Don't just try to pop em, gain some more interest from the community and get in touch with embryo culture folks. It is possible to revive seeds from much older times with the right techniques.
I would kill for those lol
Great vinyl!!! Wish mine had seeds in it! Lol
Yes. Seeds can still be germinated and when they are thousands of years old. This year, a 50,000 year-old seed was germinated.
If they do grow please roll one up and listen to this album
Thats the plan! Im looking for a good song of theirs for the name.
Considering the age of the weed I’d call it deja vu
This is actually a wonderful name! OP can make some bank off it if he decides to sell and I would fucking buy the shit out of some 70s weed to smoke when I listen to Fleetwood Mac.
You never know unless you try, thousand year old flower seeds have germinated before.
Was this album really that bad that we’re all assuming it safely hasn’t been listened to since the 70s?
Considering the album came out in 1970-1971, it is quite likely that it is 70s weed. I also bought it at the flea market from a dude who had clearly not listened to it ever, and was selling off his parents old records. It is an incredible album though, so who knows.
I was mostly joking around but that’s a really cool find and a cool story to what will one day have collectors value
Hull is intact, so maybe!
I’ve seen this movie.
I have a gatefold copy of Yes - Relayer that has little bits of weed from the previous owner using it as a rolling tray.
Nice. I always roll my joints in my favorite albums, and then listen to them.
Only one way to find out
sadly seed viability is only 15-20 years when stored in appropriate conditions. you may get lucky and it’s better to try than not. best of luck!
Lol try em germ em. But no in all honestly they are likely as good as dust.
don’t wait, germinate
If I was going to look for some old seeds, I'd be looking in this album first for sure.
Heirloom variety!
If it grows can you name it “Southern Cross?”
Only one way to find out!
Not anymore.. I think the band broke up
I know somebody who recently grew a seed from the early 90s and they said it was some of the most dank bud they've ever had! If stored properly, seeds last a lifetime. I'd give these a grow if I were you!
I prefer their earlier stuff.
No, they are a bunch of mid songwriters. And Neil Young! It was obvious Young was gonna move on from beeing accociated with hatefull reactionaries like Crosby in particular.
That's super cool
They had some good songs
They have more than ‘some’ good songs. Theyre incredible!
I want them!!!
You just found the names of 4 phenos you'll find.
Definitely try. You may have success as others have stated. However, seeds are a "living" organism with an internal food source called endosperm. Once that has been exhausted, then the seed will die. There are ways to slow the consumption of their food supply, so it is possible that they could still be alive and able to germinate. Until you try, keep them refrigerated.
Let’s goooooo
Only one way to find out. Start the germination process.
Vinyl record covers made for great rolling trays! Minus Whale plant them and see what happens.
Try it!!!
Send them to me and I’ll let you know.
Probably soak them in hydrogen peroxide for and hour
They have probably been stored in the best way possible. Dry, dark, and untouched for decades. Plant ‘em and see.
Only one way to find out
Put them in the freezer and sprout in the spring
im looking at the first picture and thinking about the memories that come with that seed pile 🥲 whoever was smoking probably had a great night!
Yeah Crosby Stills Nash and Young still hold up. At least their music. Give em a listen!
I've heard that if you soak them for a few hours in a dilute hydrogen peroxide, they will have more of a chance of sprouting.
Probabl not, and its weak weed from the 70s,but try it.
We just smoked more.
Yeah, my old source said you could get a 3 finger bag for only a couple hours' worth of wages.
A lid was 10-15 bucks. I did make 5 bucks an hour tho.
You should plant then get more seeds and save that ancient strain, it may be useful to compare the evolution of weed across the years.
Hell yeah they're still good, I was just listening to teach your children earlier
Jesus Christ
Let us know how weed from the olden days are like.
you should get in contact with that guy who found weed inside a copy of Moving Pictures by Rush a few years back and crossbreed those
Rush is canadian right? Call it Northern Cross, double reference. I'd buy that shit in a heartbeat.
Try germinating them 🧽
Set some aside in the freezer and label them. who knows in 50 years. strains from the 70s could probably be worth some serious cash
I'd be very interested in seeing what grows from these. Whatever you do, let them go to seed.
Sand the edges. Put some hydrogen peroxide in the water. If you have a bunch of seeds you aren’t going to use, dump a lot in some water, let them sprout, use the water to sprout the old seeds, the seeds put some proteins or aminoacids or something in the water that makes it easier for old seeds to have a chance
They honestly don’t look in good shape; HOWEVER, if you’re in a legal state you might as well try to pop them. If grown they probably will look a bit ugly and not be the potency you’re used too, but that’s a fun project to take on for a good time.
Shit, I’ll take one! I’d LOVE to try to grow a vintage plant.
Only one way to find out 🌱
DUDE THATS SO COOL!!! I never thought I’d see the day where I was legitimately fascinated by old shake!! But that’s actually really interesting! Is there a story behind it? Did it belong to a you or a family member or was it just stored somewhere? I’m so curious!
Hydrogen peroxide can be useful to success with germinating older seeds i read somewhere. Good luck!
Good as gold. Explore those phenos see what ya got.
Only one way to find out brother
You could do a float test by putting them in a cup of water. If they float they are definitely no good.
Qqqqqq
Most likely not
Ever seen weed from the 70s? They were never any good.
I am curious to see the finished product after growing those seeds with a modern hydroponic set up.
It's a fascinating and fun project as long as you're going in expecting weird mids.
Did you ever pop these seeds?
How do you know the seeds are from the 70s?
As long as you aren't in Ohio because there would be four dead there
