Product description

Lineage: Unknown, but possibly has the genetics of a Mexican, Thai, and Afghan landraces. . Historical Context: The first known appearance of Trainwreck was in Arcata, California — a city in North Cal's Emerald Triangle — in the 1970s. It is alleged to have been grown next to railroad tracks, which were necessary to transport Redwood Tree lumber down the coast. Legend has it that two brothers crossed a Mexican x Thai Sativa with an Afghani Indica, and while they were heading to harvest, a train crashed near their spot. In haste, they took the plant and fled the police as quickly as possible, naming the strain Trainwreck. The strain became a West Coast staple and then began to spread across the US in the 1980s

About this strain: Trainwreck

Trainwreck is a cultivar with mysterious origins, most particularly about the meaning behind its name. Legend has it Trainwreck was so named because the original cut grew on a hill the same summer there was a train crash in the Humboldt region. Other sources claim the strain was named for the immediate slam of mental invigoration it had on users, which hit the mind like a runaway train.

According to the Seedsman blog, Trainwreck first emerged sometime in the 1980s from the Emerald Triangle region of Northern California. Trainwreck itself is thought to be a cross of several landrace strains, namely a Mexican Sativa, Thai Sativa, and Afghani Indica.

Lab tests show Trainwreck with high levels of the terpenes terpinolene, myrcene, and limonene, all of which contribute to its reported lemon and pine aroma. Consumers can point to its limonene content and moderate 14%-18% THC content for Trainwreck’s energy-inducing effects.
