OG Trainwreck
The legendary West Coast collision of OG Kush structure and Trainwreck's soaring energy—famed for its gassy pine punch and unmatched potency.
What is OG Trainwreck?
OG Trainwreck is a legendary West Coast clone-only strain that represents the pinnacle of two iconic genetic lines. This powerhouse cross combines OG Kush (the building block of modern cannabis) with Arcata Trainwreck (the Humboldt County cut that defined the Trainwreck legacy), creating an unforgettable hybrid that delivers both structure and soaring cerebral effects.
This is strictly a clone-only cultivar—no seeds exist. What makes OG Trainwreck special is how it merges OG Kush's trademark gassy, lemony fuel with Trainwreck's electric pine and spice profile. The result is a strain that hits hard and fast, with a complex terpene profile that's instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with classic West Coast genetics. Sourcing a verified breeder cut is essential, as imitations simply can't capture the specific phenotype that made this strain a staple in California's most respected gardens.
Terpene Profile
The OG Trainwreck terpene profile delivers the quintessential West Coast experience. Expect a pungent blast of lemon-fuel and pine resin, backed by earthy spice and a subtle sweet citrus undertone. The aroma is loud, sharp, and unmistakable—filling the room the moment you crack the jar.
Growing OG Trainwreck
OG Trainwreck is a moderate grower that rewards experience. It finishes faster than many OG-dominant strains (8-9 weeks) while maintaining the classic dense bud structure. Plants exhibit vigorous lateral branching with moderate stretch—expect about 2x height increase in flower. This strain thrives with proper nutrient management and responds exceptionally well to topping and LST to maximize yield.
Key Growing Tips
-
TrainingTop early and train laterals to manage stretch and create dense, even canopy
-

-
Harvest TimingWatch trichomes closely—harvest at 10-20% amber for peak potency and flavor
This strain can be sensitive to overfeeding—dial back nitrogen in mid-flower to let the fuel and pine terpenes fully develop. The resin production is exceptional, so keep humidity in check to prevent mold on those dense, sticky colas.
