How to grow Trainwreck
Seb's take
Mexican and Thai Sativa landraces stabilised by Afghani Indica into an 80/20 hybrid, elongated flowers shimmering gold and green under light. Sweet pine and earth on the nose brightened by lemon zest; the high is uplifting, euphoric and creative, expansive but never quite chaotic.
Growing Trainwreck: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 150 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 641 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
THC of 25% by the breeder's numbers — the top shelf of the scale. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark.
Earthy on the nose — the old-school profile, done properly.
Effects report as chiefly uplifting — she raises the tone of a room rather than lowering the lights.
