Cal Train Wreck
Cal Train Wreck
Also known as: California Train Wreck, Cal-Train Wreck
Overview
Cal Train Wreck is a California-selected phenotype of the famous Trainwreck strain, originally developed by Sagarmatha Seeds. While the original Trainwreck was developed in Oregon in the 1970s, California breeders selected the most potent and prolific phenotype to create this specialized version. The strain maintains the classic Trainwreck genetics - a cross between Mexican and Thai sativas with Afghani indica - but represents a more concentrated expression of the original's desirable traits.
Cal Train Wreck produces compact plants that reach only 0.7-1 meter in height when grown indoors, making it suitable for growers with space limitations. The buds are dense and resinous, characteristic of the Afghani indica influence in its lineage. The strain is known for its pronounced and slightly sour aroma with hints of Kush and cedarwood, differing slightly from the traditional Trainwreck's lemon-pine profile. This West Coast adaptation has been specifically bred to maintain the potent effects that made Trainwreck legendary while offering improved cultivation characteristics and consistent phenotype expression.

Growing Information
Cal Train Wreck is considered moderately easy to grow with a flowering time of 60-65 days. Plants should be vegetated until they have 4-7 internodes for optimal results. The strain reaches a compact height of 0.7-1 meter, making it ideal for indoor cultivation and growers with height limitations. Indoor yields are impressive at 300-350 grams per square meter of dried buds. The plant exhibits a wide growth pattern and has good mold resistance with low maintenance requirements. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor growing allows for better control of the phenotype expression.
