Black Wreck
Also known as: Black Wreck OG, Black Wreck Kush
Black Wreck Strain Overview
Black Wreck is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary strains: Trainwreck and Black Domina. This strain emerged in the early 2000s from California's cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to create a plant that maintained Trainwreck's cerebral effects while adding the physical relaxation and resin production of Black Domina. The result is a balanced hybrid that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and robust growth characteristics.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a dark green coloration that often displays purple and black hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and are interspersed with vibrant orange pistils. Black Wreck's aroma profile is complex, combining fuel-like notes from its Trainwreck lineage with earthy, spicy undertones inherited from Black Domina. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with diesel and pine notes dominating the initial taste, followed by sweeter, herbal notes on the exhale.
Black Wreck is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's relatively high THC content makes it potent, and novice users are advised to consume it cautiously. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Black Wreck has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique combination of effects and flavors. The strain's genetic stability and reliable performance have made it a favorite among some growers, though it remains more commonly found in medical dispensaries than in recreational markets.

Black Wreck Strain Growing Information
Black Wreck is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, developing a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Black Wreck is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and may display enhanced purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
