 Dank a Breeders Tale by Subcool
I will be donating a singed copy to the site asap! I found out this morning that many of you might not be aware I actually wrote a book that was Published by Ed Here are some reviews on it  DANK: The Quest for the Very Best Marijuana A Breeders tale By Subcool Highlights Based on the authors 20 years of passionate selection and experience, Dank: The Quest for the Very Best Marijuana is the story of one breeder’s quest for pot perfection. Author Subcool, both a talented photographer and a well known breeding whiz, describes each step of his journey toward ganja heaven; raising each strain, mixing and matching traits, and ultimately choosing the offspring that will advance to become the newest pinnicle in pot-the newest Dank. Revealing his thought process as he assesses the traits that will go forward. Subcool provides an intimate portrait of each variety’s personality. Beautifully lit photos and full-color spreads accompany these complete descriptions of over 35 varieties, with detailed profiles of each strain’s aroma, taste, and high, as well as how it grows, and what it looks like. Useful appendices feature full genetic tress of each strain discussed. ISBN-10 0-932551-89-0 ISBN-13 978-0-932551-89-4 144 Pages 11” x 9” landscape Format Embossed Title Rigid Cover with Insert flaps. What does the Media Think? The Book of Dank, media reviews High Times By Danny Danko Dopey Taylor Weedbay I was thinking just a couple of week ago that it’s been awhile since our good buddies over at QuickTrading have released a new book. So I really wasn’t too surprised when I got the email that this book was coming out. What is pleasant about the notice is that a member of the weedbay forums (and a few others) is the author. He’s also the breeder and photographer of a fine cannabis photo and breeding book entitled: Dank: The Quest for the Very Best Marijuana A Breeder's Tale By Subcool The book “Dank” covers a breeder’s quest for the ultimate marijuana plant. From your own coffee table you will step behind the scenes of gourmet marijuana growing and discover the in depth information that has been cannabis board forum fodder for years. Potheads, growers, tokers, dealers, pinheads, they all like to discuss (and fight about) the parentage and growing tips of their favorite cannabis strains. But seldom are we treated to real-deal information straight from the breeder himself. It’s worth noting these are American strains, based on the strains we can get right here in California, where the voters have demanded that marijuana is made available for medical use statewide and made a lowest priority for law enforcement in many municipalities. There are a dozen other medical marijuana states and more considering medical marijuana in November, so it’s becoming a matter of taking care of our own now. What do I get when I buy this book? When you purchase the book you’re getting an 11” X 9” coffee table piece with a double gatefold cover with spot UV coating and embossed type. It really is quite impressive without even opening the book. Once inside prepare for the in depth description and photo essay of 37 highly detailed marijuana strains. You learn all about the strains, what traits to expect and what to avoid. At 144 pages and with multiple photos on some pages it’s a large body of work you could only expect from a grower of 2 decades. This is the list of marijuana strains that have been featured with photos in most stages of growth and perhaps freshly cut or dried flowers. There is a complete breeder history for these strains, most of which are Subcool TGA strains or the strains they work with. Subcool and his strains and crosses are unique in that they are designed for taste and not so much just for potency, which is what other breeders might tend to focus on. These varieties of marijuana are described by the parent’s traits, the offspring traits that are mixed from the parents and the selection process that goes in to create the newest DANK. A handful of these are old California med scene classics, some are unavailable, and some are being featured at the Oaksterdam medical cannabis dispensaries. Patents can find these strains and grow them out. That’s always a plus. You can enjoy this book without reading a word, and just by looking at the pictures. It’s full of well lit and beautiful pictures that document the strains from seed to bud. The quality of the pictures and the sharpness of the printing will sell books to people that have never grown and are just captivated by the title DANK. It’s all about tasty buds at the peak of ripeness with trichomes that just melt off the page. Selecting just four images for the review was pretty hard. I had a dozen pictures under consideration and settled on these four because I think these represent what medical patients will be interested in. It’s a great book and I can easily recommend this to anyone interested in Dank sticky bud. Medical marijuana patients and growers can get information straight from the breeder. With grow tips and photo documentation on strains available in the Nor-Cal area it should be interesting to weedbay locals. I can also testify that the photos in the book are worth the price just as a conversation piece in their own merit and are in a class of their own. At 144 pages it’s a definitive guide and available at fine bookstores everywhere October 1st 2008. Retails at $29.95. If you want a signed copy of this book they are limited to the first 100 copies but we thought it would be cool to set that up. The site is Dank Gear ONLINE Dopey T Skunk Magazine By Mamakind We pride ourselves at SKUNK on bringing only the freshest and coolest of what the Cannabis world has to offer. One of our perennial favorites ( not to mention a favorite of all the other guys), the proprietor of TGA Seeds and creator of such modern day classics as Jack the Ripper, Querkle, and Tinybomb—walks the wild side of ganja cultivation and photography. If it’s an impossibly beautiful color, has an exotic and alluring taste, smells like nothing you’ve ever smelled before and has a high that makes you feel like your toking up for the first time…it must be Subcool and it’s definitely dank. Sub’s long awaited solo literary debut, DANK; The Quest for the Very Best Marijuana carries on the tradition of gorgeous photography, sumptuous strain descriptions and intricate genetic histories that you’ve come to expect from this grow forum guru and just when you thought it couldn’t get any danker, we find out that it’s the Guru of Ganja, Ed Rosenthal’s publishing company, that’s bringing the essential addition to pot lovers libraries everywhere in the fall of 2008.
