Great call Botanicus! Thanks very much it's Polygonum Punctatum, and a monocot as EIRN sugested.
Also known as smartweed, or pepperplant, it's spicy when chewed, used as pepper in ancient times.

...I gamble on those $1+free shipping chinese seed packs. On average its worthwhile. I tried my luck on those "Thornless Blackberry" seeds that theyre selling a lot of....Will I get blueberries? A carnivorous vine? A TCM herb to make me virile and endow me with black hair?

Well it hasnt made me more virile [yet] but I think I've worked out what those $1 "Thornless Blackberry" seed packs are. Theyre growing into strawberry seedlings So thornless was at least right. It remains to be seen if its a black strawberry.

Are you sure yet ? There is Rubus with very special leaf shapes altho yours is way off I must admit. But then again its neither exactly a strawberry. Rubus seeds do have considerable size compared to strawberry seeds, do you remember the size ?

Well I'm not 100% sure yet, I suppose, but they sure look like baby strawberry plants.
As for the seed specs, 'The seeds didnt look remotely like blackberry seeds, or even genus Rubus, they werent covered in craters and didnt look like sand blasting grit and even the large ones were only 1.5 x 1 mm.'

This poor guy was pulled out of someone's planter and left on the ground. To the rescue. It looks tropical. Ideas?

Zamioculcas zamiifolia

This tree is rather popular in this area certainly not native. It does survive our winters (zone 4). Any ideas? Big acacia like beans and leaves. The leaves are mostly gone now that the frost has come.

Looks like Honey Locust to me.

To confirm/discard Honey Locus

I agree, no doubt if there are thorns.  But then there is the thornless variety to consider: Gleditsia triacanthos form inermis

Siberian Pea Bush/Tree (Caragana arborescens)

+1 to Botanicus
Zamioculcas zamiifolia

Popular currently in bonzai culture.

I have a few in normal pots.

[FewTrueSeed]

I'm pretty sure there are no thorns. The bark is more rugged as well. This is no shrub. It just be the thornless Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos inermis). take another look tomorrow.

mystery Trich

T. sp.

It grows in a similar fashion to candicans where it grows upright for a couple feet, then leans over and pups at the base.
