The next attempt: This fall i was in amsterdam, and happened to get a seed from a Trainwreck bud. Sent it home to a friend, along with some other beans and goodies from holland and instructed him not to grow it, that was mine!!! He did not listen, grew it and luckily, by the time i got back, he had clones for me, this is their story. i dont know if this strain is 100% TW from ghs, as it was found in a bud and not purchased, but i am treating it as it is, floppy stems and all.

Strain: 3 GHS, Trainwreck Clones, 2- 2 week olds. 1, super-topped and bent-3 week old.

Nutrients: BioBizz: Biogro, BioBloom, ToppMaxx, BioHeaven, Cal-Mag Plus and Dark Energy.

Cabinet @ 75-82 F and 69-74
Humidity @ 30-45%
22 days into 12/12 @ 35-44 days until harvest
Plain Water given with BioHeaven, TopMax, and Dark energy.
Stretch has slowed/stopped. Excellent production to date. Trimming leaves in @ 2 days, to increase light penetration. Resin production has begun as well.

Plants adding buds to the ends of other buds, and resins onto several fan leaves. Drinking @ 1/2 gallon h20 daily. one liter of heavy nutes, the max biobizz recommends on their bottles is 5ml/liter of each of their nutes. followed by another of RO with an advanced dosage of cal-mag plus added. soon the fun part...

The humble beginning:




now, 36 days into 12/12 with 3-4 weeks to go



a few things i have learned, is there is no need for plexiglass between the light and plants, they can get within an inch, without problems, but go that extra 1/2 inch, butter em cause they're toast.
TW can take some nutrients, i have never fed another plant this much. Overall i am impressed so far with GHS Trainwreck. But my next grows strain will be decided by a poll, in 2 weeks. i have quite the selection of beans thanks to seedboo/bay.

[mexicangreen420]

thanks cheesebuds and marijuanasaur, and cool freaking names too!
they are so dank right now, but they don't really have a nice smell, kind of a poopy piney lemony. weird, never smelled anything like it before, she'll be putting more stench out soon i'm sure.

i've heard about trainwreck smelling all kinds of nasty, lol. I suppose thats what ur experiencing. some even described smells of rotting flesh. I wonder what it will smell like after the cure, thats what counts. i'm very impressed with your set up though.

[mexicangreen420]

thanks!! i spent roughly $300 to get this thing off the ground. we'll see soon if it gets me lifted. been growing for about 9 years. stopped to go to europe and chill out in amsterdam for a couple months. planned on a fresh start, this is it. next build will be a cfl bonzai mother/clone/veg cab. planning on putting my bank of lights in vertically and utilizing both sides of the PL-L bulbs and doing 2 vert/scrogged plants on either side, should double my yeild, plus i wil be able to harvest one every 3-4 weeks or run a haze on one side, while i run a bogglegum clone twice on the other. i love growing. can't wait to get a house with a basement that's taller than 3'.
