Trainwreck has almost mythical genetic origins, and a few different accounts of where & when the strain was first bred. In recent years this previously "clone-only" strain was purchased by Greenhouse Seeds, and provided in seed form on the open market globally. Many people argue that the "real" strain, which supposedly originated in Arcata, California, is not what you get when you buy it from a seed company, and is *only* available in clone form via trusted growers' networks. The seed company claims to have simply inbred the clone, to provide an exact replica of the original strain. The flowering time on trainwreck is also hugely debated and even more shrouded in mystery - which adds to some very different batches of trainwreck - harvested on the late side, you can very easily be stuck on the couch with this stuff. harvested on the early side with the right environmental factors you could be writing a Physio paper. Regardless of which phenotype you get, I have never encountered or grown a version of Trainwreck that didn't have the distinctive SPICY, overpowering smell which to me is indicative of the South / Central American genetics that are prevalent in the strain and which I believe lend to its tall, lanky, very sativa-like leaf / branch structure (the flowers, on the other hand, tend to be ubiquitous clusters of relatively small popcorn buds, which are usually highly resinous and sparkling with glass-shard-sized trichomes by mid-flower). This is also a GREAT medical strain. Those with general anxiety and eye pressure or eye fatigue should feel amazing relief of ocular pressure and a sense of muscular relaxation without sedation.
