25 To help you out, we have a great list of New Year’s Resolutions from Mickey Martin.
Also in this issue, we have a fantastic article about Argentina from our favorite no-
mad, Dragonfly De la Luz. And Ed Rosenthal has given us great photo spread and
story about Dennis Peron’s garden in San Francisco. Thank you very, very much for

And, last but not least, I would like to send an apology and special thanks to Mz.
Jill. We inadvertently misattributed the cover shot on last month’s issue to Subcool.

great success using this method.
Once the seeds sprout I transplant them into one-gallon pots filled
with good quality potting soil such as Roots or Biobiz Light or even
Scotts seed staritng mix. (Some other mixes do not work well for
seedlings because they can contain root aphids, so be careful.) Do not
feed seedlings.
Once plants have established a good set of roots I simply transplant
into the final container.
Once the seedlings mature and have five sets of leaves, you can top
the plant and force it to branch out and have multiple heads. This cut-
ting can be rooted and once sex is established and quality determined,
this clone will be a duplicate copy of the mother plant. I do not top my
seedlings as I prefer the tall single cola when testing, as the plants take
up less space. I started five Pine Queen seeds last year and found two
males and three females. Clones were taken of the three females and
the plants were grown to maturity. One of the females was a stunning
resinous plant with an amazing taste and high along with heavy resin
production; it went on to become one of my top five favorite smokes
ever — and it was discovered among five non-feminized seeds.
We got similar results from starting five seeds with strains such as
Third Dimension and Qleaner (featured on the September cover of
West Coast Cannabis), and we also found our treasured Space Queen
male plant in starting just 10 seeds.
So, don’t be so quick to take the easy way out. With passion and hard
work you can find many elite cuttings in non-feminized seeds. The
keeper plant will be more stable, easier to grow and specially selected
for your needs, not some watered down genetic copy. Instead you will
enjoy the best genetics created by hard work and passion.
Remember every elite famous cutting that we drool over was started
from a seed that was carefully preserved by a grower, and then passed
on for all of us to enjoy.
