Train Wreck

(40% Indica / 60% Sativa)

20-23%thc

Origin

Trainwreck is a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis with a unique taste reminiscent of vanilla & caramel. Like many Sativa hybrids Trainwreck provides a very intense cerebral high with effects that are mood enhancing and euphoric. This strain was supposedly the creation of two Californian brothers back in the late 1970s. It is a mix of three other strains Thai (Sativa), Mexican (Sativa) and Afghani (Indica). In its true form, Trainwreck is ninety percent Sativa and only ten percent Indica. As the story goes the two brothers had to pull their crop early because there was a nasty train wreck that happened near their grow site and they didn't want it discovered, thus the name.

Trainwreck can grow well both indoors and outdoors. Plants of this strain grow fairly tall but the Indica in them causes them to fill out well. Inside grown in hydro a single plant can yield up to 500 grams in a square meter. When grown in soil outside Trainwreck plants are ready for harvesting early October and can yield 700-900 grams.

Profiles

The aroma of Trainwreck can be of vanilla, spicy Kush, cedar wood and sour fruit while its taste has notes of citrus, diesel, noble woods and peppery spices. THC production is approximately 15-19% with very low O.1% CBD.

Effects

The effect hits like a train, is long-lasting and evolves into a narcotic body stone. Trainwreck is a mind-bending hybrid with potent sativa effects. Mexican and Thai sativas were bred with Afghani indicas to produce this Northern California staple. Trainwreck begins its speedy hurtle through the mind with a surge of euphoria, awakening creativity and happiness. Don’t be fooled by its sativa genetics though, couchlock is inevitable with this strain ( not typical of sativas), so plan accordingly.

Medicinal

Migraines, pain, and arthritis are mowed down by Trainwreck’s high THC content, and many patients also use it for relief of anxiety, ADD/ADHD, PTSD & epilepsy.

 

Grow Techniques:

Let Trainwreck grow large(because she will despite your best efforts). Put this plant in a big pot with healthy soil, prune it, top it, trellis it, and grow a Northern California giant. As always when growing big plants, expect big stretches and the need for loads of water and nutrients, and eventually staking to prevent branches from snapping.

Flowering Time: 7-8 weeks   - Trichomes start to turn at 7.5wks & can turn fast. She finishes Quicker than most, 60-80% amber by 8.5wk

Yield: Average 

Grow Difficulty: Easy

Nutrient load: This strain can handle a full nutrient load...and then some. A real nutrient hog that likes things on the acidic side of the "sweet spot" pH window. TrainWreck does best at 6.5-6.6 in soil / 6.2-6.3 in hydro.

Can handle a range of temperatures while still growing successfully, but ideally keep this strain between 68 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Indoor/Outdoor: A great outdoor strain due to its early finish and vigorous growth. Equally impressive indoor though slightly lighter yields, as is true with most strains. There is no comparison to natural sunlight.

Feeding: Start with nutrient-rich soils and fill in the gaps by feeding Trainwreck with calcium, magnesium, and nitrogen. Top dress your soil with amendments such as bat guano and worm castings as Trainwreck begins to flower. Flush early as this plant can finish sooner than expected.

Acapulco Gold 

(Sativa Landrace)

18-20%thc

General

Acapulco Gold comes from Acapulco, Mexico, but the exact genetics of the strain are unknown. Acapulco Gold is a Sativa-dominant hybrid known for the golden hue of its green and/or brownish buds. Resin production is off the chart with this phenotype

Profiles

As geographics go, this strain exhibits flavors native to Mexico. Plenty of citrus flavors in the range of orange and sweet grapefruit with undertones of warm caramel. It has a tendency to be a little harsh straight off the drying rack so be sure to let this strain cure for a while to increase those depth of flavors and create a smoother smoking experience.

Effects

This old strain is said to produce a powerful cerebral high that raises one's mood without producing overpowering feelings of happiness. Instead, the cerebral high mixes with a calming body high for a relaxing experience. Mild paranoia and anxiety have also been reported. Users may experience dry mouth and eyes as well as headaches from using the strain.

Sufferers of disorders such as General Anxiety Disorder or PTSD use this strain to find relief from stress and anxiety. Those dealing with depression use it to lift their mood. The body high can also relieve chronic aches and pains.

 

Growing

Traditionally, this strain was grown outdoors. Growing it indoors is still proving to be tricky for producers as there are no clear guidelines on how to do it. This makes the strain harder to find as more growers move their operations inside. When grown indoors, the strain flowers for 70-75 days. Outdoors, plants are ready for harvest by mid-October. There have been reports of yields up to 500 grams per square meter. Tests have shown this Acapulco Gold pheno is at 18-20% THC.

Man n Jack

(50% indica / 50% sativa)

24-26%thc

General

Also known as Mac Herer, this strain is one of the rarer and more unique strains out there, thanks to its relative difficulty to breed, as well as the strong head high that it provides.

MAC N Jack is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the potent MAC1 X Jack Herer strains. This celebrity child packs a super heavy high with soothing effects that are definitely best-suited for experienced patients due to its high level of potency.

Comprised of thick, lace-green nugs brightened up by white crystals, it unearths a rich, pine smell as soon as you open the bag, inviting you to take on its particularly heady high.

Profiles

This bud has a classic sour citrusy flavor with a punch of woody pine upon exhale. The aroma takes after its Jack Herer parentage, with a punch of potent Pinene. MAC N Jack buds have fat and fluffy spade-shaped dusty green nugs with dark leaves, thick orange hairs and a coating of tiny milky amber crystal trichomes.

Effects

The high starts with a creeping effect, sneaking into your mind slowly before suddenly taking hold. Out of nowhere, you'll find your brain lifted into a heady unfocused state that's filled with vibrant artistic visions and happy bliss. A relaxing body high comes next, working its way slowly into your limbs and weighing them down, leaving you feeling calm and kicked back from head to toe, unable to move for hours on end.

Medicinal

In combination with its super high 25-30% average THC level, these potent effects give MAC N Jack an edge in treating experienced patients suffering from chronic stress or anxiety, PTSD, depression or mood swings, chronic pain and muscle spasms or cramps.

Growing

Insanely vigorous and can get out of control if not properly grown. Durban Poison stacks fairly well for such a fast growing plant. It is recommended to send her into flower earlier than a typical plant. She’ll fill in nicely durinf the first month of flower with strong vertical and lateral branching. Durban is a plant for intermediate or highly experienced grower. She does fantastic outdoors as well but…needs a the full season for max potential.
