Strain: Lohan (Trainwreck x LA Confidential)

Recommended experience level: Beginner to Intermediate

Female: Trainwreck

About the mother:

Overview:

  • An Arcata California classic and “living legend” if you will. Trainwreck has an extremely pungent ammonia kick to it. Extremely short flowering time for a sativa. She is a fairly heavy producer of light green-grey, super dense nuggets. Aroma is intense, so smell mitigation is a must with this strain.

Yield: medium high

350-700g/ 1000W

Flowering time:

  • 49-56 days.

Growth stature:  tall

  • Stretches significantly once flowering is induced. Long internodal spacing and very high flower to leaf ratio. Doesn’t need much under pruning as she lets a lot of light through the canopy.

Nugget type and density:

  • Rock hard golf ball sized nuggets
  • Small tightly packed calyxes
  • A trimmer’s delight as there are very few leaves within the buds

Unique strain traits and oddities of mother:

  • 7 fingered fan leaves
  • Much lighter green color to leaves than other strains
  • Perhaps the shortest flowering period of any sativa out there

Why we chose her:

  • One of the most popular strains of all time, and a proven breeder. The Trainwreck looks, smells, and tastes like no other. Originally intended as an outdoor strain, she’s very resistant to bugs, molds, mildews, and just about any other pest.

Traits to look for in ideal phenotype:

Desired traits from mother

  • Pungent aroma
  • Short flowering period
  • High bud to leaf ratio
  • High resin production
  • High potency
  • Disease resistance
  • Stability, consistency, and repeatability
  • High medicinal value

Desired traits from pollen donor (LA Confidential)

  • Manageable height
  • Tight dense buds
  • Short flowering period
  • Short internodal spacing
  • High resin production
  • High potency
  • Disease resistance
  • Stability, consistency, and repeatability
  • High medicinal value

Undesirable traits potentially inherited from parents

  • Long internodal spacing (Trainwreck)
  • Lower than average yield (LA Confidential)
