How to grow Casey Jones
Taste
Seb's take
Trainwreck, Sour Diesel and Thai combine in a hybrid that lives up to its railway namesake, hauling in crystal-covered colas by the trainload. Sweet, earthy citrus with a lemon-pine edge on the nose; the high is clean, smooth, uplifting and creative. Well suited to Sea of Green, and to continental winters.
Where it comes from
Devils Harvest mixed world-famous Trainwreck with classic Sour Diesel and finished the blend with a healthy dose of Thai, the work of the renowned grower Grateful Head. Forty percent indica, sixty sativa, and named for a railwayman, which the Trainwreck in the lineage makes almost too neat to ignore. A pedigree of loud, well-travelled names brought together by a steady hand, and the result hauls its weight.
Nose & flavour
A complex layering, sweet and earthy up front, citrus and lemon across the middle, pine underneath. The three parents each put something in, and none of it is muddled. Connoisseur and commercial grower alike will find plenty to read in it. A nose with real depth.
The high
Clean and smooth, the way the record has it, uplifted, happy and energetic, with a creative, euphoric lift running through. The sativa dominance keeps it bright and functional rather than heavy. At 18 to 20 percent THC, honest strength without excess. Daytime company, and good for a working one at that.
Growing it
Flowering in a brisk 55 to 60 days and high-yielding with it, she throws dense, resinous colas with little foliage, which leaves the air moving through the canopy and helps her shrug off mould and mildew. She takes well to a Sea of Green and suits a continental climate; outdoor growers facing a short season would do well to give her a greenhouse. No exact yield or height figure is on the record, so judge her by her habit. A grower's plant, built to bring a crop home cleanly.
