I 2nd your question as I'm really interested in this strain

I read somewhere it has 500 gr harvest per square meter and my experience with its effects are just fabulous:thumbsup::D

I happen to have an 1/8 of Trainwreck that I tried for the first time a couple days ago and I liked it. The nugs are small and very hard but when you grind them up, they are crystally and and a good heady happy high.

Word on the street is that it has a medium yeild, grows weird, and is not recommended as a first time strain. But it is a DAMN good smoke!

I have a dream!

White widow + Train wreck = White Wreck :D or u can call it satellite

i want to find some info on crossing these 2 strains if nobody has done so already, with seeds available in banks!

Satellite sounds like an awesome strain name, and white widow+trainwreck would like be an all time favorite for me :D:rastasmoke:

stay :D and keep :jointsmile:

Imam that is a nice mixture. I'd be surprised if it does not exist already. Maybe even commercially with a different name. Someone round here is bound to know.

First time growers should start out with the hardy classics. Of these, Hindu Kush, Papaya, Pure Power Plant, and various derivatives of Skunk#1, pure Afghani, and Northern Lights #5 are standouts in terms of vigor, ease of growth, and weight and quality of the harvest.
Personally I'd suggest Hindu Kush as the sexiest of the bunch.
I've run a TW cross and found it twitchy and unforgiving to grow, and would never try to run it indoors again because of the weird sprawling shape of the plant.

by TW u mean the mix of trainwreck & white widow, correct?

How is the harvest and quality of high if this is the case?

I take your advice, but generally and ultimately im interested in this mixture.

aint gonna be on my first try for sure tho, i'll warm up on some seed bag the very first time and then i take your advice and perhaps once i had a number of grows on my resume i will give this a try

Is this thing officially a sub strain with a specific name? so that seeds are obtainable?

I very much appreciate any input u can have on this issue stinky:)

No, it was a TW x Blueberry. No name, just seeds from a colleague who did the cross.
I'm not the biggest TW fan personally.
You have to start by listing traits you want in the plant, and the type of high. First time out, if you want that sativa buzz, go for something like Pure Power Plant which is sativa bred for indoors, and take it down at 10% amber.

Thanks for the advice Stinky! I actually got my hands on some Northern Lights seeds, they've been germinating and sank to the bottom of the glass already. Should I take them out because of too much root damage? I'm getting the soil tomorrow afternoon.

Yes, you should never let seeds sit submerged. They need oxygen, and that can suffocate them. I always put my germing seeds in just a COUPLE DROPS of water, so they get moistened but still oxygenated.

I had a dream of crossing super silver haze with bubblejax....


I'd call it Holy Smoke....


I just can't find all my seeds though!

Ohhhhh man lol call it white Wreck or Widow Wreck! (Widow Wreck sounds really tight to me for some reason haha!)

I would love to smoke that :thumbsup:

how about Train Widow? I read trainwreck was an unstable strain, but would love to try it outdoors. I saw a pic where the buds crawled down a cliff, awesome.

White Train.


Haha, but really, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to do. Especially if you already have a trainwreck cut. Just pop some widow beans and, for once, pray for a male.

So true, though in Europe Trainwreck is different, I don't know much about that other wreck. Im from Oregon, northern California.:smokin:

For sure! My avatar is a close pic of Hindu Kush X Afghani, A.K.A Hog It is even better than the Hindu Kush, and has a fruity yet skunky flavor.

Oh that's called Brain-wreck. No kidding. Im not much of a T.W. fan either, I just love the double of yield the e32-T.W. gives.

I did Train Wreck from seeds (greenhouse seeds) and had 2 BEAUTIFUL high yielding plants. Outdoor both plants were over 6' with long limbs. This wasn't my first grow (tho it was my first successful crop). I now have one growing indoors. In 5 gal Ebb&grow system with 1000watt light I made sure this little girl is against the wall in case she wants to take off like it's outdoor siblings did. I can't wait to see the difference from the same seeds indoor to out. here are a couple photos of what the 2 TrainWreck did outdoors, and 2 of what it is doing she is doing indoors.

This has been a pretty easy grow from a small clone I picked up at a club.
Has about 3-4 weeks left before harvest:thumbsup: I used a tomato cage and have left in on since this plant has been a bit leggy.

I also have some train wreck going. I am about 12 days into flower. How much larger will she get? She is 25" now.

That depends on so many variables. The images you posted show a 1 or 2 gal. container. That will limit how big your plants get. The soil you are using and any nutrient additives will have a big impact. The intensity and amount of light received. etc.etc.

I'm a first-time grower and I have 2 trainwrecks, 1 white widiw, and 1 bubblegum Kush. The Trainwreck has been so easy to keep happy that I think my next grow very well may be 6 or 8 Trainwrecks. I picked all my plants up as clones at my local dispensary.:smokin:

That's f*cking glandular trichromes harvested from trim by the cold water process. More commonly known as bubble hash.;)
