This should be very interesting to watch unfold. I first heard about Trainwreck years ago in the same whispered voices of strains like G-13 and MTF. I had my first taste on a Greyhound as I made my way from Arizona to Humboldt back in the days I lived on the road. The closer we got to Humboldt the better the weed got people on the bus would share and it was about the time we hit Eureka that a middle aged cat was standing behind a shop and go near us packing a bowl. He smiles and says want so Wreck I stepped over and took a few hits off his stone pipe and instantly got a flavor or Limes, lemons and earth. I also got nice and high and the trip into Humboldt was deff much stonier after the Wreck. Once I moved out west I was able to try a few different cuts of Trainwreck and even got the opportunity to grow out the Arcata cut. The strain typically is very tall slightly wispy buds and tends to get late term herm naners after week 7 in bud.
The smoke from my cutting was very potent but took up to much room in my bud room.
Over the last 4 years I have seen a few other cuts including the very tasty Purple Wreck that comes from down in Eugene. Last year 02 told me about a TW cutting he thought was very special that came from a sack of Trainwreck pollinated by Trinity.
Initially I wasnt impressed everyone out here has a cut similar to G-13 back on the east coast. Then one afternoon o2 left me a small bud and I left it on the shelf to complete drying and a few days later I broke it up and had it for wake and bake. I noticed a really nice taste first thing! Yes the Lime and earth taste was still there but this bud had a sweet sticky taste along with it. I smoked 5 bowls and was just wasted early in the morning. Huge grin and eyes slammed shut it took me by surprise and I asked o2 to tell me more about it. He was not surprised it blew me away and told me he was just waiting till I took notice.
First lets look at the Arcata Cutting
Here is the story behind it
I heard of the strain Trainwreck way back on the east coast when I was still smoking brown imports. It was spoken about like it was the long lost epic weed and I always hoped I would get the opportunity to work with a clone or hybrid of the cross. The first time I actually got to sample any of the bud was traveling from Arizona to Humbolt county to visit a friend who had invited me up. The weed scene in Prescott was horrible and we were used to smoking dirt weed about 50% of the time and I will always remember how as I traveled north the quality of weed got better and better. I was broke and on the run back then and I traveled the way many people in those circumstances did I rode the Dog! You meet some colorful people when you ride on a Greyhound bus and this trip was no different. In Vegas a couple got me high on some nice green outdoor but by the time we hit northern Cali at a rest stop a dude broke out a nice glass pipe full of Bubblehash and I knew I was headed in the right direction. As I talked with this cat he told me he was from Arcata and had been down south visiting a relative and was on his way back home. He asked if I had any bud and I said no so he gave me a nice hunk of indoor and as we re-boarded the bus I thanked him and ask what kind? He says thats Train wreck bud and gave me a big old grin that said without words I wouldnt forget smoking his gift. Once I actually got to my destination I was pretty impressed that dudes bud was better than anything I smoked while visiting my friend including the Salmon Creek Big Bud and other local strains.
