Trainwreck Feminized

Having gone from obscurity to near oblivion, Trainwreck was once a difficult strain to get hold of. Now, getting your hands on this great plant is a simple affair thanks to these feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. While its name suggests notoriety – and this would indeed be accurate – it also has an intriguing backstory.

More than thirty years ago, Arcata was an idyllic town in California, where life was simple for those who lived there. It's also the place where two brothers secretly cultivated cannabis, away from the prying eyes of their neighbors.

One night, a tragedy happened not far away from their house. The brothers lived near the railroad, and a train derailed and crashed. They quickly realized that the discovery of their horticultural activities was imminent as police and emergency responders rushed to the site.

Quickly, they destroyed everything they had except for one precious plant. Eventually, clones somehow found their way to breeders, and the plant soon became known as Trainwreck.

A cross between three landrace strains, it quickly rose to prominence and became one of the best known plants in the world. Its dominant Sativa side comes from Thai and Mexican, which endows it with powerful mentally-stimulating effects. The Indica genetics, however, come from Afghani.

Growing Trainwreck from Feminized Seeds

Trainwreck is able to thrive indoors or outside, and the Afghani influence makes it a sturdy and hardy plant. Regarded by most as reasonably easy to grow, beginner gardeners should have no problem nurturing it to maturity. Ideally, growers should use the Screen of Green (SCROG) training technique to stimulate more growth.

Trainwreck thrives best in a warm environment with a temperature around 69 to 80 degrees Farenheit. Besides feeding it with nutrients, it needs to be trimmed and pruned regularly.

Indoors, it's best to use hydroponics, and after 8 to 10 weeks of flowering it can potentially yield 1.6 to 2.3 ounces per square foot. Outside, harvest time occurs during the last days of October to early November with each plant producing an enormous 28 ounces of buds.

Fragrance and Flavor

Trainwreck oozes an earthy and woody scent with citrus notes. When smoked, the flavor is just as expected, with lemon notes and a spicy aftertaste.

Effects

In some tests, Trainwreck has shown THC levels up to 25%, so it's best avoided by newbies. The psychedelic high it delivers is not only incredibly intense, but also narcotic. It's like a speeding train that cannot be stopped once it has gained momentum – once it kicks in, users are at its mercy.

Initially, it brings an intense euphoric high that hits in an instant with a flash of creative thoughts and inspiration. Often, users feel energized and can perform various tasks without trouble, but this is largely dependent on individual tolerance level and amount taken.

As the deep bodily relaxation sets in, users will often still feel quite productive and upbeat, instead of becoming lethargic and lazy. At this point, most people are also likely to experience dry eyes and cottonmouth, and some may feel dizzy.

If too much is taken, then the buzzing effect can become overwhelming, leading to deep introspection and couch-lock. Like many Sativa plants, Trainwreck can cause some people to feel a little bit paranoid or anxious. Those who are predisposed to these conditions are advised to avoid this strain.

Medical

Apart from delivering what many describe as incredible mental stimulation, Trainwreck is also widely used in the medical cannabis scene.

Thanks to its uplifting and stress-busting nature, it may potentially benefit those suffering from depression, anxiety, and other health concerns including Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

As most users tend to feel euphoric, it may also help take focus away from physical discomforts. Even with only low levels of CBD, it may be quite helpful when it comes to mild pain relief.

Throughout the psychedelic high, users feel highly energized, so some people have used it for battling fatigue. It goes without saying that the trick here is not to use too much since doing so has the opposite effect, rendering people unable to complete basic tasks.

Trainwreck's seriously hard-hitting effects have helped it to gain much appreciation and respect across the globe. For many people, it has become a go-to strain for personal use, and medical users have also found a friend in this plant.
