if I ever find one, you all will now, that's for sure!!! hahahahaha
OK people, sorry to leave you all hangin', but I talked to my dad yesterday, and everything is good to go..I should receive them within the next day or 2 and will immediately put those suckers in the moist paper towels to germinate and get this bitch started! This is the real deal, though, because I know my dad saved the seeds. I might have possibly, as a kid thrown a couple on the stove to see if they popped. I am glad I didnt throw more than a couple on there, or else, this would not now be possible! Be patient my friends, and always keep the hope alive! My dad is cool and all, he just doeant understand the magnitude of this, I don't think. I am just as anxious as all of you, so please believe in me and what I am about to do..Thanks!!
I currently have 8 plants growing. I will be topping this off with whatever survives germination from the 35+ year old seeds, and really hope to bring something back that can be cloned and made into all new families for the new generation. He told me that he had them in a film container from back then, ya know, the cylindrical film cannister, and he says they look like they're in really good shape like they looked back then..I am sorry if some of you are doubting me, but I live over 700 miles away from my dad, and cant just drive down the road to pick the seeds up..Thanks to you all for understanding!! Patience is a virtue, and so is smoking marijuana..

Wow, for some reason this is a cool thread... Seeds from the 70's! Just reading this made me laugh a bit, with the comments 'bout gettin 'em from your dad, or talking with dad bout growing in the 70's. Took me way back, as while way new here at RIU, my first time growing was in the late 70's... Yikes! Sure wish I had some seeds from then to experiment with, but with the strains of today, modern genetics, feminized seeds, hybrids, early finishers... It's a far cry from back then...
Oh, and that first grow was a disaster! lol

What ever you do, KEEP all the plants that DO work in veg and just clone from them.
Dont waste those old school genetics by flowering the alpha plants!
I'll kick your ass. haha

I have some very good news for you all in 2 quick parts.
1. I received the seeds of the old genetics today!!!
2. I am also a master germinator<lol> now that I have tried the moist cloth in a mason jar method, in which I have been able to make approximately 1 and a half inch tails come out of the seeds within 1 week!!!!!
I have been advised to use an unbleached coffee filter for those older types of seeds, and I plan to get these suckers started within the next couple hours!!!!! It is time my friends!!!!!
P.S.~~~
Please don't beat me up too bad
~~~~What are some of your thoughts?

The seeds are in front of me right now, and I am going to tell you all that it looks like some shake from back then mixed in with what look like healthy seeds, but are definitely a tad smaller than what you normally see today..Very interesting..hehh..Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a bunch of seeds i germinated that have tails longer than my pinky and look to be ready to be transplanted, but unfortunately I will probably have o destroy them, so I can stay within the law for my medical use of MedMar here..
BTW, I now come to find out he has over 80 seeds, but didn't send them all, obviously..enough though..This is very good news to me and my hopes for success!!"If You Do Put Me In The Hospital, Please Make Sure You Provide Me With An Abundance Of Medical Marijuana For The Pain"[/QUOTE
