The Daily Bud

I am sure this plant will come up again as I go backwards in my files but for now I leave you with a few artistic shots of some dried buds.

See you friday here on the Daily Bud.

While JTR and Jillybean are more well known this is my favorite creation and I smoke it now before I smoke Apollo-13. It's sweeter and smoother and the wierd putrid fruit poo pineapple smell just does it for me. At the expo a few people who smelled this strain snatched there head back and made faces and didn't like it but for me this is the definition of Dank.

Vortex would have been my first choice when I ordered seeds, but I didn't see any on that site at the time. So Jillybean it was. I currently popped 5 of them. I can see 2 phenos for sure. Some have slightly more rounded leaves and are a bit taller, and the other is shorter with tight node spacing and slightly thinner leaves. All have a nice orange aroma, but the taller ones seems to have bit of mango in there. Shorter pheno is a sweet orange smell, really hoping that one is a female.

I recently grew a random SSH cross (from bagseed, idk the other parent), but it started turning purple at about 5 weeks in flower. It had the most musty/fruity smell/taste I have ever come across. Now that it's gone, I really wish I would have cloned her. I have a handful of seeds from the same bag though. Hope to come across that again.

Next time I order TGA gear though, pretty sure I will be hunting down Vortex.

I nice display of stash

I want to tell you the story of the strain Dannyboy and how it got it’s unusual strain name. Before I tell you about the strain let me tell you about the man. Growers by the nature of the game are a secluded lot. The Internet is a great way to still have some form of contact with other humans while not exposing your-self to the security risk of having people know where you live or even what you do. Running a grow is somewhat of a “ball and chain as you have chores to be done at least every 3 days and leaving a large indoor grow can always be a security risk so a grower can become secluded without this outlet.

I met a guy in 1993 that worked in the nighttime and seemed to always be online in the early mornings a lot as he ran a catering company that supplied coffee and donuts to job sites. Yes Blunt ran roach Coaches and they made great chili dogs! Over the years we became great friends meeting for the first time at the Jungle Juice Café in Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. I found out his name was Danny and from that day on we became brothers. I talked he listened and we saw the sites together, always returning to the net and telling all our friends about the cool shit we saw.

Danny always had my back and without getting to detailed he helped me get out of jail many times on his own dime. In 2001 I was working in Amsterdam for a seed distributor and Danny came to the cup for his second time in 2001 and on the second day passed away in his sleep at 38. Seems he had some health and job related stress issues he kept to himself. He was acting strange the night before he passed, winded, and I asked if he was ok, he replied he just needed to lie down and that’s the last time I spoke to him. Over 200 stoners from the Internet attended his funeral. His parents didn’t know a man could have so many friends. It seems everyone liked the guy.

The only true way I could think of to honor this man was to name my first strain after him. He was a big fan of fruity tasty strains and loved the Killer Queen harvested at day 55. Once I found the line I wanted to work with we selected a few males of Ortega X C99 and did some out crossing. The best female was named Taco by stoner friends who made a joke about Ortega being a food company. The male was selected from only 2 boys but heritage is everything in breeding and either would have been a great father. The final product is a hybrid Danny would have loved.

Tasting like Cherry Jolly Rancher Candy and just covered in thick large trichomes this plant is equally good as a head stash or a Bubble plant. It is so frosty I am sure the ratio when making bubble is very high. The dry kief from it is fruity and smooth and just lovely sprinkled on any bud. This weed smells and taste so much like cherries I was surprised at its finished color. Was just destiny and I am sure Blunt was helping from above...

From seed the plant stays very short with wide sharp leaf edges and a dark green color. Only topped once the females were just a short fat bush and as they matured very little stretch was present. Resin showed as early as 21 days and buy 30 days they reeked like Cherry gum drops. Later as the plant reached maturity it took on a solid white frost with a sour cherry smell, the first hit blew me away it was So tasty I was shocked. Once the buds dried and cured for 30 days I would just sit and smell the buds I almost got a Brandy snifter to do so. From clone the only difference in the growth was a faster finish

At First she was just a favorite of Jill and I and then Sunycheba got a cut and then Badboy was given the duplication project and while at it grew out several females all cherry and fruity and potent. The strain finishes very fast which is nice if you run a bit short close to harvest our phenotype was at least 10 days faster than any other strain in the garden. Her down side is she needs extra vegetive time to compete and yield heavy in soil she starts off slow and doesn’t hit her stride in the vegetive room till she’s over 30” tall. This strain has been around so much it has gained quite a following and recently a good friend Irishfatboy smoked some with Wille Nelson. My favorite story from his travels with Dannyboy in his stash is a buddy that was riding with him and when they stopped to break they had some DB bubble hash his friend says “ The colors are getting to me I need to lie down. Irishfatboy sent me a great picture of his buddy passed out on a beach with a huge smile on his face.

Another grower Ganjaden grew out Danny in large tubs full of soil and his results were amazing with his first harvest from a single pack of seeds coming in at over 26 ounces from 6 females. The more people grew her out the more everyone liked her.
I once did a thread on Overgrow detailing the 2001 Cannabis Cup and I mentioned Danny and his story and basically we sold out of the strain over night. We also have a Dannyboy BX or backcross that is a bit larger and more Killer Queen Dominant and that sold out as well. There are a few packs around but its not an easy strain to acquire in seed form anymore. The good news is a great cutting is pretty easy to find as more DB has been grown out than any TGA gear!

We have just released in limited numbers a Dannyboy X Spacequeen hybrid I named Danielle, which will be a limited offering and is available now at Cannaseur.com. We are making Dannyboy 2 but the Taco male was lost and the new cross will not be released until I am satisfied its better than the original. Dannyboy was also used in Sunychebas cross Black Cherry, the Black Russian father gave this hybrid a vivid magenta coloring in some phenotypes there aren’t many left in stock.

Even though not many at Hightimes knew of him or about his death, Danny was truly an American Stoner working his ass off running a business and relaxing with a nice bowl after work. Unfortunately due to the drug war it was usually brick weed, he never complained but he sure smiled when I sent him a care pack. He was the coolest dude I ever met and loosing him was like loosing my brother. He is truly the founding member of TGA and I miss him everyday.
I’d like to thank Danny Danko for allowing me to tell his story.
Respect and Honor

Sub,

Love the shots

Can you put up a couple of the Chernobyl for me, I met you up at the Expo in SF. I was the one with the broken arms, it was a real honor to meet you and I did end up ordering some of those seeds threw Speedy Seeds and just waiting for them to arrive any day now. I will be using your SS to feed them what they need after I go threw the seed to maturity 45 days or so before I send them into 12/12 as you advised

I will set up a journal and add it to my sig when the seeds arrive. I hope I am not intruding on your thread

You have a great day and stay green

T

Most happy to post some up brother

I burned these a tad feeding em to early because I thought these huge 5 footers would run out of gas in the 5 gallon test pots I use but they did very well after.

sub, do you have any pictures of Trinity.. and can you tell me anything about it??

Nope never grown it out.
were not even sure if its really even part of the trainwreck thats just what we think what we do know is it created this hybrid.

had it lost it.. wanting it again. oh well.

thanks for the quick reply sub.. also i remember reading about danny danko and dannyboy in hightimes 3 or 4 years back. sorry for your loss. looks like you honered him well with your creation.. keep up the good work. love the colorful strains.

I love some bud porn!

Someone needs to come out with a magazine which is strictly bud shots and strain descriptions and reviews and leave the rest out of it.

How about a book instead?
Wait I did that already hehehe

touche' the rest....... details..

Taste the Rainbow…..The Flav Session news.

I have some really exciting news!
I got really high off of The Flav.
Its rare I get actually blazed on smoking anything. After 35 years of continuous toking it more than anything calms my nerves and makes me smile. The only way I get really high is eating several cookies. Consuming 3 tablspoons of Tincture OR smoking a new THC profile. The latter is more rare as my THC receptors are probably maxed out still from the Bicentennial when we did 1776 Bong hits as a teen.
HOWEVER Jem777 came over to show me all the Flav phenos he grew out from seeds and we sat down for a serious session with MzJill and Dioxide so we would have as many opinions on the taste and potency as possible.
We got completely hammered using the Volcano and a few bingers.
We were all laughing and smiling and Jem77 had to head outside and grab his guitar.
We spend the next few hours listening to him play Pink Floyd and Yes and even Waterfall by Hendrix the dude shreds that’s all there is to it. Some one needs to record this cat asap!!
So were all just ripped singing along or humming cause we so high we forget the words

The Flav is really great reefer and the best Pheno I liked #5 is the spitting image of the Romulan Mom. We took turns smelling my 30 days cured Rom and the uncured but Dry Flav and we all thought the Flav had a more complex smell but Very similar to the Momma.

The right female can be quite nice to be honest.

While we found this cross to be a bit leafy the hybrid OZZY we created using her was pretty amazing.
