Awesome! So NOW it should have proper context
Dankmaster began growing cannabis in 1995/96, initially using low-quality seeds and several grower guides. He quickly advanced from basic setups to more sophisticated systems, experimenting with different strains and cultivation techniques.
Early in his growing career, Dankmaster joined the IRC chat room #Smokers_Lounge, where he connected with experienced growers like NCGA, who mentored him in breeding. His first successful cross, Bluwidow, became a popular medical strain in Northern California.
Dankmaster knew about G13 in Florida, reputed as the strongest strain at the time. He sought these seeds and eventually received G13xNL2 seeds from Blazzer in Kansas. Successfully growing a male and a female, Dankmaster used the male to pollinate a Blueberry plant, creating Blueberry x G13xNL2, enhancing Blueberry’s potency. However, he still desired pure G13.
He would settle for G13xNL2 for a number of years making sure it was passed out. That plant decades later ended up with Deep Ellum Seeds. Finally around 97 Subcool came on to chat. He decided to attend the Cannabis Cup.
Dankmaster did a exhaustive amount of researching Dutch banks and concluded Serious and Sensi Seeds were the best banks to go with. He gave a list of what to bring back. When Subcool got back he wanted Dankmaster to call him on the phone to he was right about the seeds to pick to bring back. It wasn’t something he expected Subcool’s voice to tell him discussing the cup, which was starting to become the monetary cup.
Dankmaster didn’t care about the cup anymore after the call except the Super Silver Haze. Many of the IRC growers wanted AK47, Kail Mist, Bubblegum, Chronic, Jack Herrer, NL5, Silver Haze. I believe Sub got the TH Seed Chocolate Chunk and Puna Budder. Dankmaster first grew the AK47 and Kali Mist. One pheno was a massive yielder of an Indica fruity phenotype and the other was a sativa phenotype that had a mega expanding hit, definitely a lot of old world Mexican spicy and earthy terps, he loved that cut! The Kali Mist was a braid of foxtails, and the spicy and sandalwood taste, soaring clear as crystal effects.
Dankmaster had Strainbase submissions for both of these AFTER he left growing. His posts were taken and formatted to Strainbase v1.1 compendium. Dankmaster has comments about Blueberry, Fig Widow and C88,but none are as prolific as the G13 data to come.
In 1998, Dankmaster acquired a genuine G13 cut from a grower named Airborne, confirming its unmatched potency. He continued to experiment, crossing G13 with Fig Widow to create the G13 x Fig Widow hybrid (GFW Omega G), which enhanced the original G13’s structure, yield, and flavor.
By December 1999, Dankmaster was distributing his hybrid seeds globally, eventually partnering with Heavens Stairway Seedbank in Canada. His work significantly influenced cannabis breeding, with his techniques and hybrids becoming well-known in the community.
