Train Wreck x Sherbet puts Trainwreck over Sunset Sherbet. One is a Mexican and Thai sativa line taken into Afghani; the other is a Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties cross, and one of the plants that defined modern dessert weed. Two very different plants, and the point of the cross is what sits between them. These are held cuts, not recreations. CSI's entire catalogue works that way, and it is the reason their crosses are worth chasing.

Trainwreck sits on the seed side here, Sunset Sherbet on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Trainwreck. A Mexican and Thai sativa line taken into Afghani. It traces back to Mexican x Thai x Afghani.
• Father: Sunset Sherbet. Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Pink Panties, and one of the definitive modern dessert plants. It traces back to Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties. Wants a stable room - around 70-78F and 40-50% humidity in bloom.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Two profiles that stay distinguishable rather than collapsing into one.

• The Aroma. Loud citrus-pine - sharp lemon over earthy pine with a subtle spice from the Trainwreck side, against sweet berry and citrus over a creamy base from the Sunset Sherbet side.
• The Taste. Lemon and pine, sticky up front, turning to berry and citrus over creamy dough, finishing earthy through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Timing splits the pack. One parent wants nine to ten weeks, reported elsewhere at eight to ten, the other eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days. Expect the fast plants down well before the slow ones are ready.
• The smell is a negotiation. Loud citrus-pine - sharp lemon over earthy pine with a subtle spice on one side against sweet berries and creamy dough with tart citrus, a skunky edge and a subtle earthy fuel undertone on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Two frames in one pack. Trainwreck is elongated spear-shaped colas with moderately dense bracts and swollen calyxes; dense tapered buds under thick milky-white trichomes, lime green with amber flashes and orange pistils. Sunset Sherbet is grows tall and thin with dense leaves; moderate, controllable stretch in early flower; round, tightly packed colas showing deep purple under cool nights; tight frosted buds with the classic Cookie structure. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Trainwreck at sharp and forward and Sunset Sherbet at indica-leaning and settling. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Trainwreck is elongated spear-shaped colas with moderately dense bracts and swollen calyxes; dense tapered buds under thick milky-white trichomes, lime green with amber flashes and orange pistils. Sunset Sherbet is grows tall and thin with dense leaves; moderate, controllable stretch in early flower; round, tightly packed colas showing deep purple under cool nights; tight frosted buds with the classic Cookie structure.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Trainwreck runs nine to ten weeks, reported elsewhere at eight to ten, Sunset Sherbet eight to nine weeks, reported forty-nine to sixty-three days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Trainwreck as sharp and forward.
• The Body. Sunset Sherbet is reported as indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
