Dave Bowman, known to the cannabis world as Subcool, died on Feb. 1. He had been ill for quite some time, battling Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and emphysema, as well as the fallout from a divorce and a California wildfire that took nearly everything he’d worked to create in cannabis. He was hosted here on Hip Forums for sometime .. But the growing sub/forums faded as cannabis was legalized in some states and the traffic slowed .. Subcool, went on to develop Team Green Avenger Seeds (TGA Subcool Seeds/TGA Genetics/The Dank) and pioneer cultivars like Jack the Ripper and Space Queen. Chances are if youre a stoner, you have come across these strains. RIP Subcool, learned a lot from you. RIP: Legendary Marijuana Breeder Subcool
Sad, I knew him in Norcal. His wife was a hard working great grower and photographer. MizJill. He put out some beautiful books based on the strains he worked with. RIP Subcool... he was cool.
Last time I saw him was when I had to go on stage at a Cannabis Cup in San Francisco and accept an award for someone else's grow - who wasn't there to get it himself. My two seconds of fame, LOL!
