Subcool and TGA Strain Guide!

[Subcool]

Hello my name is Subcool. Some of you may follow my work behind the camera and some may not be familiar. I have been a grower and toker for 30+ years. I lead a team of breeders in a search for better hybrids. I was invited to introduce our new strains for 2006. I am lucky enough to be engaged to MzJill so we work closely as a team.
We have several proven hybrids and also new creations in the works, our main goal when making a new strain is to either to combine the characteristics of two strains or to replicate as close as possible a clone only phenotype and provide these to the Medical Cannabis Community. When combining strains it is usually to work in better or different taste such as a high potency variety such as Jackâ??s Cleaner using Blueberry, or adding purple color to a high potency strain such as Apollo-13 using Black Russian like we did with our Sputnik lines. When combining hybrids there is always variation but with proper selection and a good genetic pool and lots of tracking new hybrids can be created that are remarkably stable and just phenomenal flavors and potency combining the best of both parents. Jill is an extremely accomplished hydro grower and her first donation to TGA was the Black Russian and the Orange Velvet, recently she regained her Sweet tooth #3 and her First cross Jillybean is an amazing combination of Orange and Pineapple and Mango with a short dense plant structure that delivers large yields. Sunycheba is our Purple division, working with the Purple Black Russian male and JCB. He is responsible for Lemon Freeze, Neon Super Skunk and Double Purple Doja just to name a few. Badboy works with Hash Plant and Killer Queen. I focus on new male selection and finding the perfect father for JC. My Greatest joy comes from teaching others the art of Dank if you have any grow questions don'y hesitate to contact me.

This thread will be quite long as we have close to 30 strains created.

It may take a bit.

Sputnik 1.0 (Apollo-13 X Black Russian)

Apollo-13 has long been a favorite of mine and I enjoy turning people on to it and have them trapped at my place for a few hours to stoned to drive. Once we finished the Black Russian project with that strains amazing ability to add color I was inspired to create a Purple Apollo just to see if it was possible. The resulting hybrid produces two distinct phenotypes one thatâ??s purple and one thatâ??s not. The purple variation starts changing color about week 5 and fades from light pink to vivid magenta. Smelling like Blackberry jam with a hint of spice it produces large semi dense colaâ??s with bright green stems to accent at times almost black/purple buds. The high is extremely fun and motivating, it seems to elevate my mode when I smoke it. The White variations are incredibly potent and the high just smacks you in the face and then you just stare at the wall for a few hours. It is a shorter type plant with rock hard Apollo like nugs. It also does very well outdoors finishing early in PNW avoiding the rains.
1. Phenotypes-2 main variations one purple and one white
2. Height -Medium stretch
3. Yield-Heavy/ Easy trim
4. Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse
5. Best way to grow-Topped early and trained to a large bush.
6. Harvest Window-60 days
7. Sativa/ Indica 60/40
8. Hybrid-Genius X P75 X Blackberry X Ak-47
9. High Type-happy, invigorating, motivating, stimulating
10. Smells like Blackberry jam with a hint of spice/ Has a deep rich Berry taste with a slightly peppery after taste
11. Maybe the most potent Purple Iâ??ve smoked!

This plant is very fun to photograph and I have to show you some other phenos of her.
Not all came out Purple/Pink the White pheno is Apollo-13 Dominant and just a trippy buzz. TOB the newest member of TGA said it made the trees look cartoon like.

Sputnik 2.0
Apollo-13 X Sputnik 1.0
So now we had a purple potent plant(Sputnik 1.0) with about 50% traits from each parent. Breeding a Sputnik 1.0 male with his mom(A-13) gives this offspring 25% more of the mother plants genetics. This makes Sputnik 2.0 a P-75 or carrying 75% of the mothers traits Do not confuse this strain with Sputnik 1.0, the chances of a purple phenotype are much less but the potency of Apollo is apparent in this strain. Coloring is still present in the hybrid but we think of it as gravy. What your getting here is over a year of tracking and testing combined in seed form, and as close as you will get to A-13 until we complete the cube. One grower got 13 ounces of dried cured buds from an outdoor SP2 and says itâ??s his best stash to date. I always hated the fact that only 500 A-13 seeds were ever made and a simple f2 would not be justice to this incredible strain so we took the longer road and did our best to honor its legacy.

1) Phenotypes -Very stable hybrid lime green with pink to purple pistils late outdoors
2) Height- Medium to tall with classic tree shape
3) Yield-Medium to good
4) Indoor/Outdoor/Greenhouse
5) Best way to grow-Outdoors like a tree indoors topped early and vegged to 24â?�
6) Harvest Window-8 weeks
7) Sativa/Indica 72/25
8) Hybrid- Genius X P75 X Genius X P75 X Blackberry X Ak-47
9) High type- Intense, visual, increased pulse, mind altering, trippy
10) Smells tangy, pungent, rotting fruit, berry/ Taste like tangy fruit/ tart
11) We should have named it Apollo bx ,people get the two strains confused Doh!

Jill was lucky enough to be gifted this amazing Orange Skunk and they day we smoked the finished bud we knew we had to outcross it with our Space Queen male. You donâ??t really have to be a master breeder to figure out Orange and Pineapple Mango will be a good combination. The resulting outcross is remarkably stable and is close to a 50/50 representation of the parents. Topped only once in grows into a nice short bush with lots of side branching and multi heads. Flavors range from Orange, Tang, Candy, Mango, and Apple. The cross works really well in SOG or SCROG. Although it was created as an outcross to Cube the OV every female I have seen is a keeper in its own right. Very large stems and huge top colas make this an easy strain to grow in any medium.
We have 5 females in our bud room and 4 could be clones there so similar same height same growth speed and all have that Dank Orange smell. Very good mood elevator and general euphoria are experienced while high on this cross. Lime green with Vibrant Orange Hairs with temperature drops it can turn a deep burgundy to maroon.
1. Phenotypes -Very stable Orange-Mango 50/50 Phenotypes
2. Height-Short and Stocky
3. Yield-Very Heavy/ Easy Trim
4. Indoor/ Outdoor
5. Best way to grow-Single topping forms multi heads
6. Harvest Window-8 weeks
7. Sativa/Indica 30/70
8. Hybrid-Unknown Orange Skunk X Romulan X Cindy99BCGA
9. High type-Happy, mood enhancing, humorous, energetic
10. Smells like orange skunk or tang/ Taste so much like Dreamcicles you will not believe it!
11. The bubble from this strain is like concentrated orange goo!

** Jill has a awesome centerfold of this plant in Heads magazine.

Jack the Ripper JCf1 X Spacequeen

As good as JC bx was, I learned a lot in 6 years breeding and growing almost full time and I was confident I could find a better male using patterns to find the recessive drug traits. So instead of continuing a cube I wasnâ??t 100% satisfied with the outcross I decided to start again using two different lines to establish the best. JTR is the first outcross to be completed using a Spacequeen male; the second will be a Cindy99 outcross. The goal here is to establish the best possible outcross to cube back to JCf1. The cool part is the outcrosses are sometimes better than the parent strains, I feel this is the case with JTR. The Lemon tart of JC has combined with the candy mango flavor of the Spacequeen to create a resinous marvel. Maintaining JCâ??s heavy structure and potency the female dominated this cross with the exception of adding some sweet mango flavor and smoothing out JCâ??s harsh toke. I will be doing my best to enter this strain in the 2006 Cannabis Cup.

1. Phenotypes -Moderately stable with heavy Jacks Cleaner traits.
2. Height-Tall with long stretch/ Colas swell late
3. Yield-Medium / Moderate trim work
4. Indoor/ Outdoor
5. Best way to grow- Topped and placed in bud early due to stretch.
6. Harvest Window_8-10 weeks
7. Sativa/ Indica 80/20
8. Hybrid-Pluton X Purple Haze X Lambsbread X NL X Jack Herer X Romulan X Cindy99BCGA
9. High type-Intense, trippy, visual, phase shifting, increased heart rate, heavy crash increased appetite, pain relief, paranoia
10. Lemon mango pine hash/ Taste like lemon hash
11. 100% Full melt extreme potency

Super Skunk X Black Russian

Neon Super Skunk (NSSK)
I have been growing a Super Skunk for many years as my weight strain. It stays low and compact and has a nice grapey flavor and I have seen 63 ounces from 2k with her. Suny mentioned to me we were lacking in Indicaâ??s and wanted to cross Super Skunk with the Black Russian Purple male. He pollinated one SSK mom and we grew out a test batch and OMG. Purple tinged ultra funk. Warning High Odor Content! This is not a stealth plant but the cola formations and number of bud sites is amazing.
Other than Stank her only bad trait is she will not compete with taller strains, she grows low and slow almost growing sideways instead of upwards. It almost has to many fan leaves and we found our selves thinning some fan leaves to allow light onto lower buds.


1) Phenotypes-Dark Green with Purple hues and Maroon finishing leaves
2) ) Height- Short & Thick
3) Yield- Very heavy
4) Indoor
5) Best way to grow- Large topped plants with long veg
6) Harvest Window-60 days
7) Sativa/ Indica20/80
8) Hybrid- Super Skunk X Blackberry X Ak-47
9) High type- stoney, mellow, chill, body high, potnap
10) Smells like-Skunks and berryâ??s
11) Did I mention it stinks?

Vortex (Apollo-13 X Space Queen)
My oldest head stash crossed with my new favorite. Both have similar pungent, rotten fruit, baby poo smells. Both carry heavy potency and copious amounts of resins. This combination of Cannabis Freaks wonâ??t win any vigor or yield awards but for serious collectors of recessives this is a must have. Expect weird mutations and incredibly sticky freaks of nature. This hybrid tends to grow like a vine and need serious tending to achieve decent yields. I yielded just over 4 Ounces in soil using lots of plant bondage and training. This strain is offered mainly to collectors who have experienced the high or unique smell of either parent. This is not a strain for someone new to indoor growing or large scale grows looking for big production. It is a strain that with luck you can find a once in a lifetime mom for head stash. Brothers Grimm meet Vic High in a genetic soup that is one for the history books. Look for colas to dreadlock out and almost appear seeded they swell so full.

1. Phenotypes -Large variation with phenotypes like both parent strains
2. Height-Short, vine like, weak stems, long internodal spacing
3. Yield-Medium/ Very hard to trim
4. Indoor Only
5. Best Way to grow- Wide sagging bush with hundreds of bud sites. Lots of stakes and string
6. Harvest Window-45-55 days
7. Sativa/ Indica 80/20
8. Hybrid-Genius X P75 X Romulan X Cindy99
9. High type-heart racing, energizing, confusing, stoned, ripped curled under, stupidity
10. Smells like Mango Snapple with lemon/ Taste like sweetened lemonade.
11. Very unique Cindy like plant with a bizarre twist, very potent

Spacetooth ( Sweet tooth #3 X Space Queen)
I first smoked Sweet tooth #3 at Barneyâ??s Breakfast Pub in Amsterdam and although it was sweet and tasty I was not that impressed.( It Won The Cup) Jill kept telling me she had one she grew for years that was really special and then one day she got a chance to get it back from people who held it that had formally had mites. We carefully kept it in quarantine and once sure she was clean we gave her a run through the bud room. Short, fat, fast as hell and just easy to grow, Jill was certainly correct about it being special. We let our SpaceQueen dude work his special magic on her massive flowers and the resulting cross is a slightly more pungent version with extra potency. I think itâ??s much better than the Dutch phenotype and I have never seen a plant get such large buds in such a short time. Although the strain has a candy fruity taste it is much different than any of our other strains. Would do extremely well in grow rooms with limited ceiling height.
I cannot imagine her in a coliseum or cage, the yields would be staggering.

1) Phenotypes- Dark Green with rust colored hairs
2) Height-Short Stocky Dense
3) Yield-Heavy with longer veg times
4) Indoor
5) Best way to grow- Untopped or topped with long vegetative time
6) Harvest Window-45-50 days
7) 50/50
8)Hybrid- Sweet Pink Grapefruit X Blueberry X Sweet Pink Grapefruit X Romulan X Cindy99
9) High type - Stoney, restful, munchies
10) Smells like Candy and Lime / Taste like slightly rotten pink grapefruit
11) It is almost a stoner proof plant. It will basically grow in any conditions and doesnâ??t mind lower lumens.
