A hybrid that leans towards the sativa end, but with its own indica properties, Trainwreck will have you maintain a clean mental high, while relaxing and putting the rest of your body at ease. It has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the best at stimulating a euphoric high, with a potent hit that can render any inexperienced smoker physically feeling slow or unable to move.
Another strain that didn’t get it’s name from its effects, but rather, from the circumstances it was created under, is Trainwreck. The myth-like story says that the name comes from the the California growers who had to uproot and move their crop in the 70’s, because there was a train wreck nearby and they feared being discovered.
Trainwreck was created out of Mexican and Thai sativa, that was cleverly crossed with an Afghani indica. The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid, with a potentially heavy indica couch-lock.
This makes Trainwreck an effective sedative, very compatible with slow down sundays and afternoons that are tasked to be simple relaxing. This strain has an above average THC level, recorded at an average of 20% or above, and is therefore also much-wanted and needed as a useful medical strain.

My last trainwreck grow got to hot 90’s and one of the girls hermied and seeded up a lot of plants. The weed was still above average smoke. I planted twenty of these seeds and got all females!
By Ed McLendon on 18 April 2018
Update! Not all my females from trainwreck hermie seeds were totally female. Hermies hide in and ruin crops even under the best conditions with this strain. Way more than just a few nanners in the buds! This happens when “YOU” create supposedly female seeds with poor genetic stock. Instead of stressing a female plant to hermie then collecting all female pollen. Somebody took known naturally occurring hermies and incorporated them into this once proud strain. Instead of calling the offspring female seeds you should notify consumers that 25 to 30 percent of the “all female” seeds you are selling will be hermaphrodites and ruin all chances of a non seeded crop. Shame on you.
