So what is A- Train like and what prompted you to get that strain?[/QUOTE]
I visited a friend who was in a wheelchair paralyzed for many years and was dying from pressure ulcers that had infected the bone in his pelvis. he had some a-train he got from one of the local dispensarys and we smoked a joint and it just blew my head off. he died shortly after that and i figured i'd grow some of my own because it seemed to be really good pot and as sort of a tribute to him.
here's how the TH seeds website describes it (although the big book of buds 3 says it's 50/50 sativa/indica with a euphoric/clearheaded high):
The A-train is a hybrid between afghani Mazar I Sharif and the clone-only Arcata e-32 Trainwreck. Trainwreck is an infamous plant. It looks like a train wrecked in your roomall the plants falling over themselves. Train-wreck is a spindly plant that needs support almost immediately. The MiS helped girth it out a bit and overall she stayed pretty true to her low-leaf count, which really helps with manicuring. On the inhale you taste the menthol, slightly lemony flavor that leaves your tongue numb and an almost immediate kick is felt before you get to experience the surprisingly smooth exhale. If you know what I mean by Chinese eyes, then you probably know the type of high this produces. It leaves you smiling and your eyes are little slitsyou and your friends start getting creative, but the munchies take over. This is classic stoner weed. The medicinal qualities seem apparent enough: ocular pressure lowered, appetite enhancement, stress relief; this plant has it all.
