consider an absolute
masterpiece. DGOG started out
as an Alien OG x Alien Bubba F1
hybrid that was created by a
friend of ours at Eclectic
Genetics, since then we have
taken the absolute best male and female that we found over
our long and exhausting pheno hunt and continued to work
these selections until we have stabilized to the traits that we
enjoy. Our DGOG is an F3 hybrid
that is uniform in growth, has
solid structures and buds that are packed with extreme amounts
of resin. She also has an unforgettable- overpowering
funky OG kush taste that most kush lovers will fall in love with.
This strain is one of our " holy grail" strains and she will shine
bright inside any skilled garden
that she is placed in, we are
highly confident and extremely
proud to present DGOG to the public!

“The Durango OG is what we here at LaPlata Labs
“Few other seed breeders have hit the scene like Rare Dankness; one of the
most awarded lines of cannabis genetics since their establishment in 2010. We're excited to
publish the brief interview we had with Scott, the founder of Rare Dankness.”
PTL: “Rare Dankness quickly created a footprint in the over-crowded world of cannabis genetics
but we know it wasn't an overnight success. Can you tell our readers how the road was to
becoming one of the few, elite seed breeders?”
RD: “There were plenty of great breeders that led the way that have allowed me to exist in the
fashion RD does today. Shantibaba, Neville, the Dronkers , DjShort to name a few. Where RD stands
out is the 10+ years I ran Moonshine Seeds and the reputation and history developed online. I
recognized
Scott’s OG
Triangle Kush X Rare Dankness #1
the opportunity in 2009 to transfer all that
experience and bring it into the legal framework of
the Colorado cannabis industry. In the last 5 years
I've been a grower, a dispensary owner, a
consultant, a teacher, an advocate, marketing
genius, capital venture-ist , cancer survivor , canna
celebrity ,but ultimately I am a farm kid who found
his niche in seeds....”
PTL: “The OG GTH#1 is considered to be Rare
Dankness' flagship strain and has become one of
the most popular strains in the world. Testing
over 25% back in 2012 and higher since, this
specimen was awarded "The Strongest Strain on
Earth" by HighTimes. Collecting cup after cup,
GHT#1 is a keeper in the garden for any Sativa
dominant, OG lover. What phenotype should the
hunters out there be looking for to ensure they
have the cup winner?”
RD: “If you have testing abilities it's easy. Pick that +25%’er. Lol. It's the perfect blend of all 3
parents with a high calyx to leaf ratio. Great for trellis growing. Excels in hydro and outdoors.“
PTL: “Congratulations on your most recent wins Scott. Just days ago, "Starkiller" took home
another award; "2nd place Hybrid" at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam and
placed 1st in the Seattle cup in September. -Clearly a great year for Starkiller and Rare Dankness
overall. Is there any specific clone only strains Rare Dankness plans on acquiring (or has acquired)
to work with for the next Rare Dankness release?”
RD: “We have a few moms we tend to use a little heavier than others. That Ghost OG being one. But
new stuff? There's a few CBD varieties in the works. A few new Sativas based on some landrace
Sativas. But when and where those get released, no clue.”
PTL: “Many hydroponic growers have been transitioning to organic/TLO/probiotic gardens, do
you believe it's worth the switch or is Rare Dankness primarily soil-less?”
RD: “I grow using a few different methods. Most know me from that Moonshine Mix soil that High
Times posted back in 2005. But I'm a nerd. The farmer / science geek comes to the surface hard
when it comes to weed. That's why I'm known for the hydro. I love custom aero. Wacky medium
choices. Etc. most pot growers get too complacent. They find something that kinda works and never
experience all the nuisances you learn/experience by growing in diff mediums.”
PTL: “The company has made some significant moves this year, so what's on the agenda for Rare
Dankness in 2015?”
RD: “RD split with River Rock in June. After we ended the licensing agreement we had in place it
allowed RD to start branching out into other marketplaces with the intention of capitalizing on the
market placement and branding RD has built. We recognized the power of the Skunk logo and
reputation built and wanted to utilize that instead of allowing others to capitalize on what we have
built. Our current mission is to build out facilities that will provide "branded Rare Dankness flowers
and concentrates" to multiple markets including Colorado and Las Vegas.
In the last 5 yrs we've produced 11 strains that have won awards, a few winning multiple awards. I
try to enter something different into every contest. I believe in my work.”

These heirloom genetics were consciously distributed to trusted friends that would uphold the tradition of genetic preservation through verifiable genetic material and strong relations; Archive shows respect to those who risked their freedom in the 80's and 90's preserving and growing these insanely dank heirloom specimens that has allowed us to provide them to the public today.
Docta helped contribute to the documentation of 3 strains in the original Canna Bible series and has charitably donated a large portion of his extensive genetic library of clone only strains to be used in original formation of Rare Dankness seeds.
(This excerpt continues on the next page)
Archive Seed Bank is the breeding program and seed company behind long time continually
active online community member and former Overgrow.com member, "ThaDocta".
Originally conceived in 2006, "The Archive" was Docta's attempt to establish a long term goal
at heirloom, verified
original cannabis clones and seed lines. So that they could be preserved via distribution of
genetics to closed groups of talented breeders and growers so as to preserve these historic
lines through verifiable grows and networks. Clones and seed selections were distributed all
across the nation, from SoCal, to the NW, Hawaii, East Coast Colorado, the South East, and in
every corner of the country.
A small, incomplete list of some of the clone only heirloom genetics ThaDocta was directly
involved with and provided some of the earliest online documentation, verifiable acquisitions,
and long term preservation's of are :
Through his extensive network of old school grower friends he was able to compile and collect
100's of "clone only", extremely rare varieties from across the USA. After non-stop 11 years of
constant seed growing and clone only comparative analysis and exhaustive verification of
authenticity, ThaDocta decided to finally make some of his breeding and rare genetics made
available to growers across the planet and not just to those that know about the underground
Archive.

“Valley Girl” (Valley OG x Face Off OG BX1)
is hosted by cannabis underground legend, Adam Dunn, the
founder of THSeeds. Advancing the culture since the early 90s,
Adam also founded Hempworks and Hemp Hoodlamb clothing in
Amsterdam before moving to Colorado in 2010. Adam propels the
show with a cast of colorful guests and unbelievable anecdotes
from his 25 years in the cannabis industry. Mitch Shenassa is the
multiple Cannabis Cup winning founder of Incredibowl Industries,
a cannabis journalist for Kind Reviews and High Times, and the
Over the last few months, PTL has come across a podcast that’s worth writing
about for several reasons. “The “Adam Dunn Show” is a weekly podcast
broadcasted on iCannabis Radio and distributed via iTunes/YouTube. The podcast
author of The Cannabis Aficionado's Handbook.”
Week after week, we’ve noticed the unique subject matter that the Adam Dunn Show covers;
which is why I, and many of my friends, have been subscribers for some time now. The show’s
content ranges from industry news, to cannabis horticulture, to cannabis plant science. The deep
and mysterious histories of our favorite strains are also discussed in unparalleled detail with
guests such as Chemdawg, Matt “Bubba” Berger, OrgnKid, OGKushman, ThaDocta, and Dave
Richards.
Now, enter the “OGenome Project”. What are this project’s objectives? Who will carry this out?
And how accurate can any conclusions be?
Summary: Mitch Shenassa & Adam Dunn will collect a number of the most significant OG’s
out there from only the most trusted sources. Using approximately 96 samples, John
DeFriel of Phytotype Agrigenomics will examine these elite OG’s, create a genetic profile
and compare these results with the results of some well-known Sour Diesels, Chemdawgs,
etc.. The goal is not to create a family tree of OG Kush’s genetics, because that process
would deem nearly impossible with limited, verifiable parentage, not to mention limited
funding, but to start finding out whether or not SFV OG, Tahoe OG, Ghost OG, etc.. is at all
related with Sour Diesel, Chemdawg, Bubba, etc.. for example. Finding the true origins of
OG Kush, Bubba, Chem, or any modern variety for that matter is a difficult, lengthy, &
expensive process as thoroughly explained in the True Origins of OG Kush Part 1, 2, & 3,
although a process that has officially begun thanks to the guys at The ADS. Next issue,
we’re sitting down with Mitch of the Adam Dunn Show for what should be a short, yet
informative conversation with more details on the OGenome project.
