Blue Train #3
Also known as: Blue Train Haze #3, Blue Trainwreck #3
Blue Train #3 Strain Overview
Blue Train #3 is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a specific phenotype selection from the broader Blue Train genetic family. The strain's development traces back to the early 2000s when breeders sought to combine the cerebral effects of sativa-dominant strains with the physical relaxation of indica varieties. While exact breeding records are sometimes inconsistent across sources, most accounts indicate this phenotype emerged from selective breeding within the Blue Train lineage, which itself derives from crossing Blueberry with Trainwreck strains.
The plant typically displays a balanced growth structure with moderate height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Visually, Blue Train #3 buds are often dense and resinous, featuring a distinctive coloration that ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and the specific phenotype number assigned during the selection process, with #3 indicating it was the third distinct phenotype isolated from the original breeding project.
Notable characteristics include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that have made it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Blue Train #3 has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis communities, particularly among growers who appreciate its reliable performance and distinctive terpene expression. The strain represents an example of phenotype hunting within established genetic lines, where breeders select specific expressions of desirable traits from broader genetic families.

Blue Train #3 Strain Growing Information
Blue Train #3 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach heights of 120-180 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
