A-Train – T.H.Seeds
 
• HIGH TIMES Top 10 Strain, 2009
 
T.H.Seeds have been at the forefront when it comes to introducing new genetics from California to the Dutch seed trade. As part of that mission, they pollinated the famous Humboldt County clone-only Trainwreck with a heavy-producing Afghani Mazar to create a new strain called A-Train that features the best of both worlds: the fine taste and high of the sativa-dominant Trainwreck without the hassles of growing out long, spindly stalks that can’t hold themselves up. The Mazar genes also thicken the stems and shorten the gaps between nodes, making for easy-to-trim buds.
 
Anyone who’s tried the original Trainwreck knows the unique flavor and mind-numbing potency of that NorCal staple, and combining those traits with the Afghani Mazar gives A-Train a kick all its own. The initial spicy flavor gives way to a citrus aftertaste, while dry tokes reveal hints of menthol and diesel fuel. Indica lovers looking for flavor as well as power will truly enjoy this enticing variety. On a medicinal level, A-Train enhances appetite and lowers ocular pressure, which is particularly important for glaucoma sufferers.
