Trainwreck’s record in the databases is sizeable: Leafly showed 3,236 ratings, Weedmaps 908 ratings and 264 reviews, and AllBud 96 votes when these pages were opened.1,2,3 Those counts establish recognition on those platforms, not sales leadership or a documented creator.1,2,3
The name has also traveled into many seed lines. SeedFinder lists 20 Train Wreck strains from different breeders, while its Humboldt Seed Company listing identifies one specific F5 line rather than claiming one universal version.5,6
