Head Seed
Casey Jones combines an excellent sativa mother, a Trainwreck
x Thai, with an outstanding male from Rezdog’s Sour Diesel v3
line. The mother originated from Billy Goat Seed’s Oriental
Express cross. She has a very sweet flavor, and a heady
trancendent high.
Adding Diesel to Trainwreck suggested the name Casey
Jones, engineer of the most famous train wreck of all time. The
sativa-dominant Casey Jones strain has an amazing high. The
plant varies slightly in structure, from Thai foxtails to Diesel
plumes. It retains the short ripening time of the Oriental
Express mother, finishing in about 8 weeks. Casey Jones is not
overly picky, suiting the novice grower as well as the
sweettoothed connoisseur.
This variety multi-branches well, especially when trained.
She prefers moderate feeding and grows to a final height of 30-
40 inches when forced at 12-16 inches. When plants are grown
short with a single cola (SOG style), they yield an average of ⅓
to ½ ounce (10-14 g). Grown large and trained, plants could
yield up to 3.5 ounces (100 g) each.
The buds form like towers of calyxes, tight but clustered,
creating a looser cola, with colorful pistils that vary from
orange to pink. The leaves have thin blades and stems may
purple late in the flowering phase.
The Casey Jones flavor is a combination of the confection-like
sweet Oriental Express and the citric sour of the Diesel. The
high can be felt almost immediately and lasts about an hour
and a half. This strain has an “up” effect with a vividly trippy,
thought provoking quality that can lead to mental wandering.
Under its effects, one may feel a stronger sense of
connectedness to self and others. It is good for creative
activities that can benefit from an introspective mood and don’t
require intense right brain focus. It is less than ideal if you
need to make plans, balance your checkbook or do other very
linear activities. Go fly a kite, watch a movie, hike around in the
outdoors, or engage in a little painting or other interpretive
activity when indulging in Casey Jones. Do not drive a train!
