Trainwreck

Two Californian brothers created the Trainwreck strain, which was first cultivated in Northern California's world-famous "Emerald Triangle."

A buzzing cross between three renowned 1970s strains—Thai sativa, Mexican sativa, and Afghani Indica—Trainwreck earned its legendary status during the Summer of Love. 

Its name, as the story goes, originates from a real train crash that occurred near its grow site decades ago when cannabis was still illegal in California. The investigation forced many growers to relocate their harvests, and Trainwreck was one of the treasures of this upheaval.

Popular worldwide, this great strain possesses a wonderful woody aroma with layers of sharp, sweet citrus. Unlike other Sativa hybrids, Trainwreck wears her Indica qualities well, producing long-lasting and soothing effects that will leave you relaxed and in total euphoria.

Growing Information

A new favorite among hobby growers, Trainwreck is a dream to work with. Thanks to the thick trichome coverage, she grows lusciously green and grey. It’s a sure-fire hit with sativa fans looking for their next classic strain.

Trainwreck feminized cannabis seeds are suitable for all growing environments, from indoor and outdoor areas to dedicated greenhouses and tents. Its sativa characteristics mean that enough space is required to produce the biggest and best yields. While relatively easy to grow, some knowledge goes a long way in pruning, training, and providing the proper nutrients.

Trainwreck boasts a high resistance to mold and mildew. Trainwreck marijuana seeds are well suited to indoor growing if you can afford the space. Good quality soil planting and hydroponic setups see great success with this plant.

Warm and dry environments are essential, so try to avoid too much humidity. The most important thing about growing indoors is control. Trimming is essential to prevent her from overshooting and spreading.

Removing lower branches and leaves will allow greater light access to the stem and buds. Many see great success with SCROG techniques. For the best harvests, try to keep temperatures between 18 °C and 30 °C.

Plants grown from Trainwreck feminized marijuana seeds thrive outdoors, but specific climates limit them. Dry Mediterranean environments with plenty of sunlight and small temperature variations are best.

Frost, in particular, can be disastrous. As long as you’ve got these prime conditions, you can expect massive harvests and plants that tend to flower early. Don’t have an abundance of warmth and sunlight? Use a greenhouse.

Soil is essential for both indoor and outdoor growth. Begin with soils rich in nutrients like calcium and magnesium. You can then dress the soil as your Trainwreck begins the flowering process.

Characteristics

Trainwreck feminized has a relatively short flowering time of 56 to 63 days, translating to 8 to 9 weeks. Its sativa genetics dominate, allowing indoor heights of between 125 and 155 cm.

Trimming is an important way to promote stockier and bushier growth if you have limited space. Outdoors, things get much bigger, with potential heights of over 220 cm.

Trainwreck’s biggest yields are possible in the vast outdoors. Here, you can expect to harvest between 500 and 850 grams per plant. Indoor yields are equally impressive, offering 400 to 500 grams per square meter.

When smoking Trainwreck weed, she will give you a potent and balanced high, with THC levels of up to 20%. She doesn’t get her name Trainwreck, without reason, as she will take you head-first into a powerful euphoria.

The effects can be described as a creative blast, providing inspiration and long-lasting happiness. There’s also a pain-numbing and relaxing full-body experience thanks to the balance of Indica genetics.

Trainwreck has an instantly recognizable aroma of sharp, sweet citrus with earthy, pine-like qualities. This is topped with a lemon-lime sourness. The flavor is just as mouth-watering, with a zingy lemony taste and a little bit of sweetness added. 

She might even evoke nostalgia, as the taste reminds you of those lemon candies your grandma used to give you when you were younger. The thick, THC-laced buds, which sparkle with resin, contribute to these deep flavors.
