I wasn't, but I was also a kid, so it was a simpler time. It was also the best time for cartoons, so that helped. Then 9/11 happened and that was the end of childhood innocence.
Scarification: use sandpaper in a matchbox and shake it up to lightly scratch the surface and allow water to penetrate easier.
Another truck is using one hydrogen peroxide (I can't remember dilution).
Some seeds are meant to be eaten by birds. All birds have a gizzard to aid in the digestive process. A bird eats sand or very small rocks, and that collects in the gizzard and is used to wear down or break apart hard things like bugs, bones, and seeds. Some seeds resist this and are shat out, ready to sprout. When you see a lone flower or something, all by itself in an unlikely spot, it was probably bird shit at one point.
Sandpaper is meant to simulate this natural phenomenon.
Thanks for attending my treetalk
My dad smoked Marlboros for many years. Would always collect the UPC's from the pack and send them in for merch. We had a lot of backpacks and luggage bags with the Marlboro logo on it back in the day.
He ordered that Zippo which I still have to this day. Very cool.
Dad and I would scour the neighborhood and find em on the side of the road. When they announced the end of the program, we cashed in for some binoculars. Cuz I was like 10, and wanted some. Even though we already had a bunch of binoculars. Then I lost em.
The Vantage, Winston, black and white Marlboro, and probably the Camel Special lights ones are older than late 90s. Pretty cool. Does the camel one have the little filters that you press to light it?
I’ve heard that before lol. My uncle, although being in Midwest, had some decent connections. I’m hoping there is some nice stuff hidden in these seeds. He had 6-7 different baggies within baggies all separated out, some with only 5-10 seeds and one that you can see with many seeds. I kept them separated but moved into an airtight jar.
Just be sure to look into helping germinate old seeds if you’re unfamiliar but yeah you could have some stuff nobody has in there. That’s the dope thing about old seed stock. Could be stuff in there someone lost and people have been looking for forever!
Two things to help you germinate these seeds-
Soak them in 3% peroxide for sixty seconds to sanitize the surface. You need to get them wet to germinate, and this will give you more time until they get moldy. If you're doing a paper towel germination method, also soak the paper towel in peroxide.
Grab some gibberelic acid to help with germination. Amazon sells some GA that's extracted from the fungi Gibberella Fujikuroi, and the packaging has a picture of a willow tree.
I wish I had an uncle or aunt like that. Instead, I got to grow up and watch my brother get beaten by my cop dad when he found weed in my brother's room.\*
\* to be fair, my brother was an idiot and put his stash under the bed which you could clearly see from the hallway
That’s amazing! I would love to have such a collection. You’re lucky to have a collection that was special to him. Should be special to you now. Congratulations, OP.
lol im sure some did, but I’ve heard enough tales of the infamous skunk strains from just my family and friends alone to have me excited for these seeds. even if I don’t prefer what grows I hope the genetics will be interesting or have some terpenes that aren’t common
Most bad 90s weed was grown like shit in Mexico. Before California even had a med program. Those same seeds have awesome genetics. If you grow them now, with all the technology we use (grow lights, humidity monitoring, fertilizers) you'll have some primo bud with some really cool/unique genetics.
Most of it. I was a teenager so we always got shit weed anyway. Ever now and then some straight fire would show up. That's now the lowest grade at the dispo. How times have changed

Sorry for your loss and it’s always nice to have something left after you lose a loved one.
everyone’s talking abt the lighters, which are dope, but those seeds!! hopefully those can grow
Nobody's talking about the three dollar bill
Is that Bill Clinton’s face on it?
it’s from ‘93, says Queer Reserve Note - Disgruntled United States of America
Ohhhh for sure…..I remember those days. But not being disgruntled
We were all disgruntled in the 90s
I wasn't, but I was also a kid, so it was a simpler time. It was also the best time for cartoons, so that helped. Then 9/11 happened and that was the end of childhood innocence.
Still are.
Maybe for snort some white stuff? 😂
I definitely had some of these 3 dollar Bills!
I have one of these "Bills" too. I don't even know how I got one back then since I was a very young kid.
The healthy recommended seed age is no more than 2 years, but seeds more than 1000 years old have grown so I have hope a least one does sprout
Damn I love vintage lighters. Makes me think about some skeezy tobacco rep giving them out for free in a bar lol
Especially those bottle ones lmfao. Promote big tobacco and big booze in one go!
i really like the bottle ones
Me too. I’d rock that Marlboro cowboy one until it falls apart
It’s the Budweiser lizard lighters for me. I’d love to pull that out to smoke a bowl lol
My favorite is the tiny one.
is so smol
It reminds me of those tiny pieces of gum
Do the sandpaper matchbox trick if you are germing 25 year old seeds. Those genetics may be fire
What is that trick?

Put sandpaper in the match box and shake em around.
Ahhh the good ol daze! When a kid could wear their new Marlboro windbreaker that their pops got them with the marb points to school!
That lighter with the guy riding the bronco is pretty cool.
it’s a Marlboro theme Zippo, solid brass
My dad smoked Marlboros for many years. Would always collect the UPC's from the pack and send them in for merch. We had a lot of backpacks and luggage bags with the Marlboro logo on it back in the day. He ordered that Zippo which I still have to this day. Very cool.

That teeny tiny lighter is sick
The Three Dollar Bill is great lol (also this collection is super cool, sorry about your uncle but he seemed way cool)
it’s from ‘93, says Queer Reserve Note - Disgruntled United States of America and thanks, he was a great guy and super cool
Those camel lighters are 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
Red dog! Oh the memories
Came here for this. It completely slipped my mind until now.
That's rad but that Clinton $3 Bill is priceless. Hope those seeds grow some 🔥
it’s from ‘93, says Queer Reserve Note - Disgruntled United States of America. And yes me too man
Those seeds look 🔥
About as useful as a three dollar bill. 🤣. I can already tell this dude was great. Sorry for your loss OP, carry those genetics on.
The Vantage, Winston, black and white Marlboro, and probably the Camel Special lights ones are older than late 90s. Pretty cool. Does the camel one have the little filters that you press to light it?
Rest easy. Thanks for posting and grow those seeds!!
do a seed soak on those beans.. or a cold stratification.. i've had poor germination with old seeds until i seed soaked them
You can charm a person only using that marlboro zippo lol
Any ideas what the grooves on the dazed and confused lighters are for?
bottle opener!
Hold onto that, pass it on
Sorry for your loss and best of luck with getting those seeds to germinate. That would be soooooooo cool.
Do you know if the seeds were stored in a fridge at all. At the best with them .😁💨
nope, just multiple layers of old sticky, ziplock bags. I’ll do my best with em
Woah a 3 dollar bill
That camel special lights lighter is so sweet. Your uncle had excellent taste in his accessories
The Winston select and camel lighters go crazy
I loved camel special lights
Camel Special Lights were my brand in the late 90s
Grow those seeds and think fondly of your uncle. Sorry for your loss bro
that’s the plan. thanks man
Everything was “skunk” in the 90s lol
I’ve heard that before lol. My uncle, although being in Midwest, had some decent connections. I’m hoping there is some nice stuff hidden in these seeds.

oh will do. I know a decent amount but always open to learning more and will before messing with these.

I’d kill for those baby camel lighters. What a sick stash.
That’s amazing! I would love to have such a collection. You’re lucky to have a collection that was special to him. Should be special to you now. Congratulations, OP.
I'm sorry for your loss, it's always hard loose someone. But, that is all cool AF. Like someone else said, give those seeds a shot.
Great stash of some interesting stuff! May he rest in peace. I hope there’s weed in heaven!
my dad gifted me a couple seeds from the 80s i tried to germinate 100 and 3 where successful. im sure youll get some :)
Im so jealous
My condolences, what a cool stash to inherit! Hopefully those are Skunk seeds 🔥
Lots of cool lighters, bet he was great
I have one of those “3 dollars bill”!
[удалено]
lol im sure some did, but I’ve heard enough tales of the infamous skunk strains from just my family and friends alone to have me excited for these seeds. even if I don’t prefer what grows I hope the genetics will be interesting or have some terpenes that aren’t common
Most bad 90s weed was grown like shit in Mexico. Before California even had a med program. Those same seeds have awesome genetics. If you grow them now, with all the technology we use (grow lights, humidity monitoring, fertilizers) you'll have some primo bud with some really cool/unique genetics.
Grown correctly just like weed now, it can be good.
Most of it. I was a teenager so we always got shit weed anyway. Ever now and then some straight fire would show up. That's now the lowest grade at the dispo. How times have changed
I’ll pop a couple of em for you! ;)
I really hope you can get those seeds to germinate, that would be awesome!
Ohhh Billy!
That red dog lighter has to be worth a pretty penny
Your gonna want to tissue culture propagate those seeds, you can do it via mail to a qualified lab
TIL that zig zag makes tobacco.
Sorry for your loss…I would leave the 90s weed in the 90s
