Sub, I think I pretty much know the answer to this question already as I cannot find it anywhere, but I thought I would ask the man himself since you are active in this thread. Where can I find some Danny Boy, I love this strain very very much, had it a few times. Please say you have some secret place where this can be found

If your a sativa lover I found JTR to be top notch and easy to grow,I did have one pheno with a nanner or two but I had two other phenos that were a good grow,the hazier pheno is about all sativa with more of a pure haze look to her,,just a thought!!!

So I have read, but why not keep it going? Was there a reason? What would you recommend that would be closest to it?

It was tribute to my best friend who died in 2000.
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.

Yea, I read the story ( and a sad story it is ) a while back. So excuse me to ask this again, why did you stop producing this strain? and if it will not be around anymore what would be the closest to it that you currently have? What happed with the Dannyboy 2? Sorry to be persistent but It has been several years since I have had Dannyboy, and it did leave a lasting impression I would love to get my hands, and lungs back on this strain, or its closest rival
I would love to get my hands, and lungs back on this strain, or its closest rival Whats your favorite high of these high producers for indoors?I disagree complete
Yields from a TGA garden nearby the caretaker used to be a cash cropper
Indoor Yields
Vortex 16 ounces with a 60 day Veg
Jillybean 20 Ounces with a 60 Day veg
Agent Orange 22 Ounces with a 60 day veg
Here is a 12 pound Agent Orange for ya grown outdoors.
But Yes if your looking for massive leafy Colas with huge stems and commercial resin production then TGA is not the right choice

Idk if you know that guy personally or not, but you don't have to explain yourself sub. Stop apologizing to sensitive little bitches. Jeez, I mean COME ON!!!Dude if you thought I was being rude I am sorry I wasn't I am just short on time. You totally have the right to your opinion and I welcome it I just don't agree simple. Out of the 20 strains TGA has created and kept around at least half are really good producers. We seem to have gained a rep for not having strains that yield because as you stated its not really our motivating force but the TGA rooms I visit easily pull down 1.5-2 elbos per lamp. You have to remember that there are licensed warehouses full of our gear and if it didn't produce they have zero loyalty and would dump our work.
I mainly just wanted to let you know I wasn't at all trying to be shitty or rude I tend to make short reply's due to time constraints and this time I pissed off a friend and I am sorry.
The correct reply should have been I disagree with some of that statement
Sub
The guy got mad at "I disagree," and that's pretty civil. fuckn a..

Ok, I can respect, and appreciate that. Just makes me sad as I just loved it. So what would you recommend that is currently available to would be a close substitute? Sorry to bug you about this as I'm sure you are a very busy person, but you are the man, and what better person to ask than the source
Thanks in advance.
