TH Seeds
All aboard! The A-Train is about to take you on a journey from
the rolling hills of northern California through the Mazar-iSharif mountains of Afghanistan, finally arriving in the Low Countries of Europe. This California-Afghani F1 hybrid was
bred in Holland for indoor grows. A-Train’s father comes from
Afghanistan’s hash heartland, while her California mom is
Trainwreck, a clone-only variety from the West Coast medical
marijuana community renowned for an excellent high and
refreshing flavor.
A-Train performs best as a multi-branch plant. She is a space
hog, with extensive lower branching and a tendency to sprawl
and lean. Supports or netting are recommended for those who
want their girls to be orderly. If allowed to grow without
control, her branches will probably still need rearranging in
order to maximize light for the buds. No matter how she is
trained, it is advisable to trim off the lower branches, reserving
energy for bud formations on her upper levels.
Gardeners who prioritize yield should consider hydroponics
for this strain, while those in search of primo flavors do better
with soil. Either way, A-Train loves organic foods. When
growing hydroponically, TH Seeds prefers Botanicare Pure
Blend Pro and Liquid Karma to pump up the enzymes. During
peak flowering times, they use Bud Swell. A-Train will become
finicky and troublesome if exposed to too much humidity.
Otherwise, she is a clean, dry, and relatively non-smelly plant.
This strain finishes in 7½ to 8½ weeks. She more than
quadruples in height during that time, starting when she is
forced – beginning the flowering cycle at one foot (30 cm) will
result in plants that are 4½ to 5 feet (1.3 to 1.5m) at finish. As
she grows, this lanky brancher takes on a gauzy green
coloration, and tends to form many plantlet buds. If she is
pruned to a single-cola plant, A-Train will produce 25-35 grams
(approx. 1 oz.) per plant. When grown in 1-gallon containers in
soil, she yields 35-55 grams per plant, and 5-gallon potted
plants can deliver between 50 and 90 grams (2-3 oz.) apiece.
The harvested buds are round and compact, resembling
clusters of green walnuts coated with a silver shellac of resin.
On the menthollemon inhale, A-Train brings you a satisfying,
well balanced mind and body lift, a clear and and productive
high. On the exhale of lipnumbing sweetness with bits of
Afghan hashiness, A-Train brings you home; you can drop your
baggage from the day. This strain’s creeper high will gradually
slow you down a notch or two, but it won’t stun you into a
stupor. It’s a combination of two strains used widely by the
medical pot community for alleviating mind and body
discomfort.
