Train Hopper
Also known as: Train Hopper OG
Train Hopper Strain Overview
Train Hopper is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing two prominent West Coast genetics: Trainwreck, a sativa-dominant hybrid known for its cerebral effects, and an unknown OG Kush phenotype, which contributes indica characteristics and classic Kush terpene profiles. This combination creates a balanced hybrid that has gained a following among enthusiasts seeking both mental stimulation and physical relaxation.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by vibrant green foliage interspersed with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often display a compact, conical structure reminiscent of its Trainwreck lineage, with leaves that may exhibit subtle purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. Train Hopper's visual appeal is enhanced by its resin production, which is notably abundant and contributes to its potency.
Notable features of Train Hopper include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that bridge the gap between its parent strains. The strain has maintained a relatively niche status compared to more mainstream hybrids, but it has developed a dedicated following among growers and consumers who appreciate its reliable performance and distinctive characteristics. Its name likely references both its Trainwreck heritage and the 'hopping' between sativa and indica effects that users experience.

Train Hopper Strain Growing Information
Train Hopper is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them suitable for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to optimize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and prefers a stable pH environment.
