The History of Train Wreck

Train Wreck is a popular strain for both recreational and medical users. It is a sativa dominant hybrid that packs a powerful cerebral punch. Its genetics are made of Mexican Sativa, Thai Sativa and Afghani Indica strains. Rumor has it that Train Wreck was named after an actual train wreck incident.

A couple of brothers from California harvested their crops early due to a train wreck that occurred nearby. The brothers did not want the emergency crew to stumble upon their product because they would call the cops. However, many agree that Train Wreck first appeared in the city of Arcata or Humboldt County.

Humboldt County is known as the Emerald Triangle. It is the largest cannabis-producing region in Northern California and within the U.S. There is much debate over when the Train Wreck first appeared. It could have emerged during the 60’s or the 80’s.

One of the Staples of Any Medical Marijuana Grower

Train Wreck is mainly 90% sativa and 10% indica mix. But there are other phenotypes where it’s 80% indica and 20% sativa. The indica dominant strain can be found through the company called Medicann Seeds. However, Train Wreck sativa’s are found more frequently through companies like Goldenseed.

The mostly sativa version of Train Wreck can be grown indoors and outdoors, but prefers outdoors. It is an easy to grow strain that flowers within 63 days. In just 7-9 weeks, it’ll grow nice and tall and the yields it produces will be high.

Let Train Wreck grow large. Put this strain in a big pot with healthy soil, prune it, top it, trellis it, and it’ll grow into a Northern Californian giant. When growing a giant plant like this one, expect big stretches and lots of water and nutrients. It can handle a range of temperatures, but it likes to grow between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

At the start of the growing cycle, start with nutrient-rich soils and include calcium, magnesium and nitrogen. Top your soil with bat guano and worm castings when it begins to flower. This plant can finish sooner than expected so its ok to flush early.
