Treating Yourself, Issue 17 - 2009 - 85 al gene pool was to be introduced. The boys have thus decided to cross their award-winning LA Confidential to the OG Kush, creating another strong strain, which they call Cataract Kush. It has an incredible medicinal high, with great flavors and purple hues. During a test grow of the feminized OG, a selection was made and one special phenotype was found, The #18. It is a bet-ter yielding OG, with a taste and smell that is more fuely and soury. This pheno was isolated and then fem-inized, and is now available in seed form. Sour Diesel hails from the same roots as the OG Kush, but leans more on the sativa side flowering in 10 weeks. It is a much more clear, heady high with a great taste. It has a good yield and will be available in seed form in the later part of 2009. Headband, a cross between the OG Kush and Sour Diesel, is good-yielding strain with distinct fla-vors and a strong high. Compared to the OG, the Headband has bigger buds, stronger branches, and is a much wider plant. Kandy Kushis another phenomenal OG cross, OG Kush x Train Wreck (T4). This strain has many medicinal benefits, with a great candy taste and extremely frosty buds.

The feminizing method that DNA uses is called Silver Theo Sulphide, or STS. It is sprayed on the donor female at the beginning of its flower cycle, two weeks prior to flowering the rest of the plants. The donor plant puts off male flowers and pollinates the rest of the room, creating seeds that are all female. Feminized seeds have been around for over 25 years. STS has been used in the vegetable industry for decades. The flower-ing time, indica/sativa ratio, yield, taste, smell, strength of mothers and clones, and look of the plants grown from feminized seeds are the same as plants grown from regular seeds. The feminized seeds are all female, no hermaphrodites or males. They are all stable and have been thoroughly tested.

The originalOG Kushis one of DNA’s favorite strains.

Stars smoke it, rappers rap about it, it’s just that good.

The boys grew up smoking it when living in LA and want to be able to provide everyone the opportunity to medicate themselves with this powerful and tasty vari-ety. There is no original male, so the OG Kush could not be made into regular seed form unless an

heavy eater and will stretch a bit if not controlled. Clas-sic Haze flavor from the smell, to the smoke, to the after taste, classifies her as being a “complete” smoke.

The X18 Pure Pakistaniis a legendary landrace strain in its own right, handed down to DNA to keep the genet-ics alive and available to the public. The old Pakistani blue is pungent and very medicinal. The buds are dense and rock hard, crusted in resin and very easy to mani-cure. The X18 is obtainable in both regular and femi-nized packs. It was crossed into the LA Confidential to produce another female strain called Tora Bora. Tora Bora is a quick-vegging and early-finishing strain, pro-ducing dark green buds with blueish, rock-hard nugs encrusted in crystals.

Most of the regular strains on DNA’s menu will also be feminized shortly. Some of which are already available in female version. These strains include: Chocolope, LA Confidential, Kushberry, Sharksbreath ’09, Connie Chung, Lemon Skunk, C13 Haze, Sour Cream, Sweet Haze, Rocklock, and Purple Wreck. DNA sells their feminized seeds in packages of 6, whereas their regular The 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup winning strain,

Martian Mean Green, is unique in its taste, smell, and effect. LA Confidential has won many awards at all dif-ferent competitions and is loved by all who try it. What a better combination for a new strain: MMG x LA, cre-ating LA Woman. This cross generates a taste that is sweet and robust, and buds that pack on the weight.

DNA choose to also combine Master Kush to the Mart-ian Mean Green, which they’ve called Master Martian. She leans more on the hazier side with big buds, and she has the strength of a nice indica. The resin content is that of the Master Kush, making her exceptional for hash. Sleestackis a sativa/indica hybrid that flowers in 9 weeks with heavily resinous buds. The mother of the Sleestack is the Schrom, which is known for its fuely smell and taste, and the father is Martian Mean Green.

The R.K.S.has the great old school flavor with a high that is up and very strong. She will finish the first week of October outside, and if this strain is grown inside, good carbon filtration is a must because she will stink like the Real Killer Skunk. The Silver Bubbleis mold resistant and can handle the cold. She is a moderate to

DNA will forever have their listing of regular seeds and will never get rid of their true-breeding males.

Males take time to find. They feel it is much easier making feminized seeds due to the fact that any female plant or clone can now be turned into seed form, no selection neces-sary. This is why they market their feminized seeds cheaper than their regular seeds. Breeding with males costs more because of the selection process, more time and effort goes into creating a new strain and, thus, feminized seeds are cheaper. They feel in no way their female strains are inferior to their regular strains;

they are just easier to make.
