Arcata Trainwreck

Trainwreck is clone only but there is the remote possibility someone somewhere has seeds from the same batch where Trainwreck came from. Is that what you have? I guess I'm just missing something.

Yes I live in Humboldt and have received seeds from the person who created trainwreck. I'm like only the third person he's given the pure tw x tw seeds to. I'm going to do a test grow to look at other phenotypes. I'll get pics up for y'all this fall when i pop them. What can i say, I just got the luck of the draw by meeting the father of the wreck. Got the full tour and saw the wreck in its full splendor.

cheers,

Anything is possible.

There are lots of strains that people think are "clone only" but in reality. the people that work with the strain to find that elite clone have their seeds. I think the myth of clone only strains happened because when Nevil brought a lot of cuts back from cali in the 80's he only had females to work with, thus everyone thought their must be no males. That's an inccorrect assumption. I've been out here 12 years and have seen many a strain people said "clone only" and when met the original grower/creater, of course, he has stock piled the original seeds. Its just a lot of the elite breeders out here DON'T want to be famous or known. That's the truth.

It was funny when he gave me the seeds another person was there from socal (a long time honey oil maker since the 70's) and when my friend handed me the seeds the honey oil guy's eyes lit up and he said something like "are those the seeds that don't exist?" and my buddy said "yep" as he poured like 400 something seeds in my hand.

That's the true story. Now let's see what i can do with them. Its going to be hard to beat the e-32 arcata cut that he selected as an elite, but I'm going to look for another unique pheontype new to growers.

Now if i could only get ahold of my bro from michigan that has the pure g-13 cuts, i'd be really tearing it up!!!

more later

I kind of disagree on the clone only thing with you. You may have 100 TW seeds but none may express the complete profile that the cut I'm, or many others are, used to. Genetic combination is an interesting thing. Each plant is actually 100% unique. I really do believe 'freaks' show up and sometimes these are recognized.

I've heard for a gazillion years that Purple Haze doesn't exist anymore yet Ace Seeds recently released some genuine, IMO, Purple Haze stock.

I'm running a cut right now that could in some ways be considered elite but it's actually a pretty simple cross but for some reason this plant from that 1 seed it came from is very different...in good ways.

I love TW...it's one of my all time favs. I can tell some stories that people wouldn't believe but I know they're legit. If those are genuine beans then you're a lucky mother fucker. What you do with them from here on out is where the story really begins though :smoker:.

ditto that...

so mark6699331 I'm pulling up my chair and :bongsmi: to sit and watch the show when you get it started :lurk:

here's to hoping it is a good one :headbange

-suga

p.s. - what would be really cool is if you could select a real nice male and then offer up pollen or a male cut to somebody like JLP ... maybe a nice c99 x TW cross ... I think he has g-13 too

JLP is cooll- I liked his g-13 f2's back in 04'. But I think I'm more than capable of thinking up some good crosses myself. I've got a nice Petrol (like Rez's f2 or f3's that he put on sbay in like 04 or 05) cut that is killer. A wreck diesel cut might be nice. I also have male and female of the g-13bx from gypsys collection 04' i believe that might mate nice. But as far as putting out pure seed it really is up to mr. e-32. I'll have to ask him what he thinks.

I have a Trainwreck show in the works. It is just a small one light show of a personal medicinal grow, but any show with the Trainwreck is worth checking out. It will be complete from cutting to cure, but I will not be posting it until it is complete which will be a few more weeks.

Here is a preview: (in my gallery)

I'll have to ask him what he thinks.
Here's the thing I don't understand...what good is it to sit on great genetics? Trainwreck is internationally known at this point. What I see is more and more hybrid crap...genetics are getting diluted and people are hungry, IMO, for the good stuff. The story seems to be 'Do you remember that strain?'. I'm just more into preservation and stabilization than creating some new fangled gadget. Great stuff has already been created and lost...:nono:.

Everyone has their reasons. I think people would go nuts if they could buy some genuine (F whatever) TW seedstock.

The problem is that the guy who gave them to me did it on a this is just for you basis and not to be shared with the "adam seed whores" as he put it. he's turned down the cover of high times etc. etc. If anything he'd give them away for free to med. users. At least that's what he told me. He's very compassionate.

I had a thread under the seedbay capt. crip collective you might want to check out that shows my blueberry crushes and purple strains-

Nice purple Mark. What cross or strain is that. Sorry, if i missed it if you already stated it. As for your seeds. I'd ask like others have stated. Core is right and i wouldn't do anything to upset that person. It wouldn't be nice at all. I know once i get going. I'm going to do some BX crossing myself. I'll take my OE cross and see what i can do. See how close i can get in seed form anyways. Should be fun. Either way, I know what ever comes of it. Should be some nice smoke.

One thing i've noticed with TW. It does grow different in other gardens. I notice TK growing his out and then matchin his pictures up to mine and they looked different. Then i've seen others to have plants looking just like mine. Thought that stuff was pretty wild.

I'm confused?

I'm confused?

What good does it do ta hoard any strain? Jus think if everybody did that,we prolly wouldn't even be havin this conversation.I mean really,what good does it do? Why even mention it if yer not going ta share.Outside of bein able ta say,look what I have and you don't (self importance?).I'm sure glad -my- friends don't feel that way! I reckon I'm jus stuck in my old school hippy ways that I was brought up with.....I mean no disrespect.ONE LOVE YALL!!!! Take care...BC

Don't feel left out BC. I've been trying to get a hold of the real M39 aka Skunk1/Basic5 aka Skunk#1xNorthern Lights#5 for many years now. Seem, people won't let this one loose or they where told not to. What kind of SHIT is that! This stuff is from back when Neville's was running around the world having a blast. Man, now you got me started. lol

I'll ask him next time i see him. Oh and GDW- the one you grew is authentic.

And i don't think he's hoarding the strain. He's kinda like either no one gets it or everyone gets it for free. I'll chat with him next time we hook up.

oh,

and the purple is some strain that came from him also, some cross they call purple dragon out here. Its pretty dark eh.

Back to wreck- I'll try to get pics of my current wreck grow just to show y'all what the arcata cut should look like. There are a couple other versions of wreck out there- one that herms, and one that grows a straight up cola. The arcata one creeps, finishes fast, is super-potent, will stink up the house and is almost too stoney. The cancer and aids and catastropic pain people love it out here cause it really is medicine.
