Trainwreck Preflowering Update

[dustin27]

Hey all. I recently acquired some seeds and wanted to share some pre flowering photos with you all. I had a 4/4 germ rate, 4/4 females. I'll be pretty vague about its lineage, and name, as I dont want to violate the TOU, but I'd love any input, especially from experienced arcata cut growers. I only have leave structure to go by for now, but I'll provide pictures, and descriptions as flowering progresses. It is basically outcrossed stable tw seedline males backcrossed to the original mother cut(A).


Its not my strain, nor H3Ad or BillyGoats, and i am not promoting it in any way, just wanting some input, and to share info into the world of cannabis. I'm hoping the leaf structures resemble the Arcata Cut.

too me the structure doesnt look like arcata but it is hard to tell till shes further into flowering ..... things to look for are purple leaf stems in flowering tendency to throw out the odd sterile male bananas weak stems and a fair bit of stretch ..... maybe someone else with a bit more experiance with the arcata cut can chime in here?

Hey brutha i'm not an arcata tw grower but i know for sure your shit looks healthy and beautiful ... however i do have a cut of Heads Casey Jones and the leaves looks pretty similar fuckin7, 9 an 11 blade leaves!! shit has to be lucky!! any way lookin forward to the end product bro!!

when you rub the stem what does she smell like?

 

[dustin27]

All 4 are strechin pretty good. The ones in larger pots are of course larger. The stems are proving to hold up for now, but time will tell. I suspect alot of negative TW traits like weak stems were worked out in parentage of this strain, but the mother IS the clone(AC TW), so we'll see.

The stem rub all gave varying degrees of lemon. I'm no expert on describing what I smell, but thats the best I could come up with.

All 4 have red/purple stripes on the main stems and leaf stems. I had that in my notes to include in the first post, but it slipped my mind.

Thank you all for your info!

well by the look of your girls they deffinatly have more indica influence then the arcata cut your leaves are broader and stems are alot thicker but she is showing some arcata traits so that could be a good thing providing the flavours smell and high are still there .. ill keep an eye on this thread make sure to post more pics as you go mate

They look more like greenhouse seeds TW than any other TW i've seen.
I've been working with billygoats/steve tucks TW IBL for a few years now which was originally a TW x afghani then backcrossed to the arcata cut and its about as close to the arcata cut you can get, i've also inbred it for 3 generations choosing the more lemmony plants as parents,the buds are fairly loose and the stem/branches are the floppiest i've come across.
I've also got aload of breederschoice TW IBL which i think is originally a TW x white widow then backcrossed to the arcata cut,which i've not grown out yet but i plan to soon to see what traits are there then the plan is to cross the 2 lines and see whats the results are like.

 

[dustin27]

These are breederschoice TW ibl males backcrossed to the AC TW clone, i believe. If I post the actual info i found on this strain from another site, is that violating the TOU?

Ill get more pics in a week or two when they have filled out more. They are very sativa dominant, its very apparent now. They have a nice stretch going on, I supercropped the tops, just laid em over. They have responded well to that, within a few hours even.

Regarding the Arcata cut clone; I read that it finishes in 55-60 days? How correct is this?

I've got 3 oz's of ghs tw and it's super nice. Hard to clone though.
