Wow, be ready for the classic false females that occur in landraces! Female preflowers till week 4 then its balls allover the place! Still I envy
your collection!
your collection!
picking out the 8 beans tonight and planting them!
They will be put directly into perfectly wet FFOF with no added newts.. they will be giving some fish emulsion feeding at 20% after 2-3 days of germination. I find that it helps old seeds sprout. Update when and if they pop...

He said since the 80's so those seeds are far older then 5yrs old.
Seeds can last decades if not longer, if kept in the right condition, especially if those seeds were kept in a jar.

Like MadR1 says try some Gibberellic Acid if they are stubborn. 100mg in a liter of water and let em soak for a day or 2.

I said forget 8 seeds... far to many different kinds of seeds I couldn't keep my hand from picking "just one more"
Going into solo cups to test more in same amount of space,, mainly testing for germination but anything that pops will be grown out and tested fully.

Awesome find!
I've found older seeds can take a long time to germinate (if they do at all). I've had older seeds take weeks almost to the point where I forgot about them or just about gave up...and then pop. For some reason top heat seems to help if planted in soil, from a light or the sun. Good luck and if you get any to go it could be an interesting adventure.
you gonna find a lot of old sativas most likely ..be prepared for some longass flowering times.....yeehaw..seeds that don't germ go into worm bins and sometimes then sprout there later for me...I went through an old film canister of seeds not long ago....didn't find anything spectacular
ya ive had the same thing happen before just like Stoned Trout said .. ive had seed pop weeks later after giving up on them and the soil tossed in the waste pile! Its gonna be fun to see what really comes out of these beans.
Im hoping to find a nice variety between anywhere from old skool Sativas to some nice early introduction indicas from back in the day when people starting finding how good they could be for more northern outdoor production... its really gonna be fun if we can get some of these old beans to pop!

Bro ,i checked this thread for updates everyday since you started it.Hope youre alright.
Posting so I can keep up with this thread. Seeds from all over the U.S., sounds like an awesome find. DOG BUD- it's prolly in there somewhere, lol.
Ya im good bro! got a full area where i want to put them so sorry everyone... I decided to wait until this Veg area is clear so i can put more in at once. I will have a lot more space to test at least 32 in a soilless mix. for germination.. after that they will be grown to clone size then those clones will be flowered quickly just to see what we really have in "The Jar"
They will go into germination in about 10days at the most
Again sorry for the delay ,, Updates will come!
Might even do some 12/12 from seed runs with it.. that way I could get it done even faster and take some cuts super early on as soon as i can or have the possibility to reveg any plants that show promise... but really will take any cuts early on... they will be better then revegging.
What do you guys think?

Any luck on these?The 1st 15
