Danny Danko is a writer, photographer and the Senior Cultivation Editor of HIGH TIMES magazine. He has personally selected HIGH TIMES' annual Top 10 Strains of the Year since 2005 and is also the creator and founder of the HIGH TIMES Seed Bank Hall of Fame. Danko's "Get Growing Now"! microsite for beginner growers (featured on hightimes.com) has garnered over two million page views since it went up in February 2009.

In addition to being an expert judge at the HIGH TIMES Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam on numerous occasions and at the first-ever HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cup in San Francisco in June 2010, Danko has traveled the country and the world in search of the finest buds, including such places as Northern and Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, Vancouver, Barcelona and beyond.

Danko was also chosen by longtime HT grow guru Jorge Cervantes as the hand-picked successor for his question-and-answer forum in HIGH TIMES. Now known as Dear Danko, this cultivation-advice column continues the tradition of responding to plaintive inquiries from frustrated farmers worldwide.

Other notable grow articles by Danko that have appeared in the pages of HIGH TIMES include "Jungle in the Bronx," "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pot Growers," "The History of Hydroponics," "Organics for Beginners," "Harvesting: Cut and Dried," "Top 10 Canadian Strains of All Time," "The Beginner's Guide to Outdoor Guerrilla Gardening," "The History of Kush" and "Cloning for Dollars." The Official HIGH TIMES Field Guide to Marijuana Strains is his first book.
