Casey Jones
Casey Jones
Also known as: Casey
Overview
The rich history behind the Casey Jones strain intertwines with American folklore and modern cannabis breeding. Named after the legendary railroad engineer who sacrificed his life saving passengers in 1900, this strain pays homage to one of America's most celebrated cultural references. The genetics showcase a skillful blend of three powerhouse strains: Trainwreck, East Coast Sour Diesel, and Thai. This highly potent sativa (80:20 sativa/indica ratio) was named after a train engineer, of all people. Casey Jones, a cross between Oriental Express and East Coast Sour Diesel, is most popular in Amsterdam, Michigan, and the West Coast. Casey Jones is a space-hungry, sativa-dominant hybrid with the hallmarks of a heavy indica. Dense, oversized nugs with a mix of spices and old-school Kush aromas would fool even the most discerning connoisseur. But make no mistake, the uplifting sativa effects are locked inside those big buds waiting to be released upon combustion, with a rich, earthy flavor. This award-winning strain won 2nd Place at the IC 420 Growers Cup 2007 in the category Sativa - Growers Cup, second place in Highlife Cannabis Cup in 2014 and third place in Spannabis 2013.

Growing Information
A short vegetative cycle and early training are highly recommended to control stretching. Unlike most sativas, she will be ready for harvest in just 8-9 weeks of flowering. Casey Jones is large and branchy; plants will fill out vertical and lateral grow space during the bloom cycle. As a cannabis cocktail of Trainwreck, Sour Diesel, and Thai genetics, this shouldn't come as a surprise. There is a lot of variation in the phenotypes of this strain but the plants usually finish in eight to ten weeks. Even though the yield of Casey Jones is a little less than average, it is recommended for beginning growers because of how easy it is to grow. Cultivation of Casey Jones presents a moderate challenge, suitable for growers with some experience. It flowers within 63-70 days and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, reaching heights of 60-80 inches indoors and over 90 inches outdoors. Growers can expect yields of 0.5-1 oz/ft² indoors and 10-15 oz per plant outdoors.
