medium feeder, go too heavy and you'll see burn. most important thing is bud support, as TW branches can almost never support the buds they produce--they droop seriously by week 4-5. So plant your support system... Also, avoid topping too much or else it will turn into a crazy octopus vine.

My Trainwreck grows and looks a lot like my AK-47. Both are tall spindly plants that have to be tied up due to the weight of the buds. It seems that TW has a few more budsites than the AK. I am at the end of my 6th week and the AK has hairs turning brown, but the TW doesn't. Still nice and white.

I was planning to take the AK at 55-56 days and the TW at 58. I usually don't wait for amber trics, as I like the up high. Since this is the first time I have grown TW, I don't know when most people harvest. What do you guys recommend?

I've taken it at 42 and it was still declared a winner by all that toked it. At 55 more potent and lasts longer, buzz hits faster bringing on the paranoia phase that lasts about an hour. From 70-80 it's phenominal but haven't seen many clones want to go that long, when they're done they just seem to stop and sit there (could be building potency but appearance is in limbo). I like it best from 55-65 days and cured for a month for special company and friends. Most of the nug growth explodes in the last few weeks, it's tempting to chop earlier but well worth yeild to wait as long as you can. I'm talkin nugs doubling in mass during the last month.

The true arcata cut is definitely 3-4 toke limit stuff for the missus and me. One son toked a whole J once and missed the whole hour-long ride to another grower. He cruised for the rest of the day and finally crashed hard at midnight, smartly turning down any more tokes of this amazing plant.

Thanks, 1Toke, I am at 40 days now and hairs are just starting to turn brown. I'll let her go around 58 days and try her. What is the difference between the Arcata cut and the E-32?

acata tw : genious.. i have a buddy that runs both strains plus many other flavors.. i found that the acata packs an initial power puch with a uppy high that didnt last to long. has a very significant aroma with a spicy taste..: genious: the genious with my experience has a far better taste with a milder high that last alot longer.. the taste reminds me of cinnamon.. overall i would choose the genios...

Did you grow it?

I've had TW for awhile... and love it. It's a real crowd pleaser in this area.
