Nice picture Coventina, Mine also are starting to grow very fast. I'm going to top my clone this week to get her to bush out more, and give my buddy the top to put outside. As for crossing, I just landed some test beans from Spice Brothers. I'm testing some Blue Satellite #2 and will take some male pollen from the best male and cross it with a Train Wreck clone. I think the BS#2 will be a nice cross over to the TW. Should have some clones ready for my first run with this strain end of next month, so stay tune.

it must be great to have that TW clone,hope she turns out a lot of clones for you.cant wait to see more pics of her,i thought the TW was a clone only strain.i see your also on the east coast,north or south,,i'm in the south,,anyways talk to you later......................Herb
TW is a clone only, but seeds were made and aren't used from what i've "read". There is a link some where's talking about where it truely came from and how it takes forever to grow from seed, but someone was selling it at one time, but i don't think it was the same stuff that was coming out of Nor Cali, but i also could be wrong. As for my clone kicking out a bunch of other clones, she is doing awsome and will be my mother plant for many years, I hope. I was very lucky to get my hands on her and will spread the weath at a "later" time. This clone has resing on the leaves and stem and it's vegging. Should be a super nice plant once in 12/12

in my first ever tw scrog grow, i only harvested 4oz off 2 plants in an 18"x24" screen. next grow, goint to use 4 plants in 2 bucket and see if I can fill the screen better. Oh well, still kickass smoke.lol
Still Greenja, that not bad for a harvest. What are you using for nutz? You might be able to change that around to get a better yiled and how is the lighting? If you can change them around you might be able to bulk up the yield on the two plants. Just my two cents.

Talked to an N. California area patient caregiver & patient, they had goo production with this strain, only thing different was the odor reduction, and thats due to ozone. Also the results were a good yield thanks to AN!
Tropical Rain, I don't have PMs. lolll I'm a guy, i sent one back to you.
Ok, been gone for awhile, ethernet was down. Took my first cutting from my TW and should see how well they root in about 6-7 days. Only got two of them to put outside for now. I topped her so she would bush out and add more shoots. Should be able to take a bunch of cuttings in a few weeks to stock up a table and do my first run. I'll keep everyone updated and let them know how well everything goes. Got some Blue Satellite going right now from seeds. They are seedlings so let's hope for the best. These are going to be the first crosses if i can find a good male.
TrainWreck x Blue Satellite #2
I've also got these as keepers and haven't made up my mind on which ones will be next
Green Giant
NYCD
LSD#1
Thai ????
Also might drop some G13 xG13 beans i got from a member and cross those, but haven't made up my mind yet.
G13 x Blue Satellite #2 sounds nice, will see.
later
I love reading updates and news, its daily education and more
Thanks for keeping me Motavated!
let me know what cross, also curious to hear about Blue Satellite, or Blue satellite #2 whichever it is sounds good...whos the breader or seedback of that strain?
Also I have seen over 3-5 types of TW, one was premature, same smell and looks popcorn buds
The other was more leafs, less smell, clean and nice...
Then one was prime, thick, smelly, and the best, from the Bay area!
Well, today i did my rounds and saw that my TrainWrech mother plant is growing out of her funky leaf pattern. Today i noticed normal leaves. Here is a picture of them. She is starting to look normal. I'll be taking a bunch of cutting for my first run this friday, so keep a look out for the first grow of this stuff from me the end of this month or first week of next month they will be going in the Ebb&Flo table. "And No i won't mail any clones, so please no PM's" Got to much stuff going on with to many strains for crosses for this X-mas, but i will make seeds available before X-mas. Please don't PM me asking to be put on a list or anything. If all goes well and i get a bunch of seeds, i have no problem sharing them. So please no PM's, i will start a thread with info on how to get some. Thanks
As for the crosses
Sharp_Pain
I have all of the following in mother plant form.
Green Giant = Two different Pheno to choose from. I'll make sure to post pictures as the crossing starts.
NYCD = Two different Pheno, You can see pictures of the two different ones on my LSD#1 thread. Will post the pictures as the crossing happens
LSD#1 = Not going to happen. I put all LSD#1 outside to increase harvest for this fall. Sorry
Thai = The first cuttings just popped root shot this moring, so they are on track.
Blue Satellite #2 = I have plants going now and hope to find a good keeper to cross. I'll be gorwing out the first run of clones end of next month. They plants are about three weeks from taking the first cuttings.
TrainWreck = Clone, that is now my mother plant came from a nice person. They came from a good source in Cali.
As you can see i'm very busy with these crosses. This is going to be my first attempt at crossing and i hope all goes well. If everything does, and there are plenty of seeds. I will make sure they get out and shared.
Thanks

Well, today was a good day. This morning i took the first cuttings of the TrainWreck from the mother plant that i got from a very nice person. I took a total of 12 cuts and that should be enough for my first run, so keep checking back for more updates. I'll give them a week to pop the roots out and a week to grow before transplant them over to the Ebb&Flo table.
Later
Well, here's a picture of one of the cuttings i took. It's showing roots in the soil pretty good. I got two that were pretty fast. The rest should be popping roots any day now. I'll post more as it happens. But i would think they will all be ready and moved into my 2x2 Ebb&Flo by second week of June, but will see.
Later
Ok, sorry it's been awhile, but been very busy with other strains. Ok, i got a good mother going and have passed out some cutting to other membes. Here are some pictures of one of the first, i've got in flowering now. I think i might have stunt her, because she's not as big as i'd like her, but she is coming around. Also, she is seeded lightly and this might have had an effect on her also. She is looking good and i got a bunch going now in 12/12 in the 3x3 and they are looking alot better then this one. Here are some pictures, and i'm sure others will like this plant.
Take care
PS The pollen used for the cross was a Male Thai. So there is going to be a Male Thai x TrainWreck availible at Seedbay in a month.
Yuppers CBF those are Train Wreck pics. If you don't pinch and train the main stem like that with a rod and ties you get a vertical plant. Wire can also be used as shown here in a Humboldt Wreck medical garden.
