There are strains that help you focus, and then there are strains that make you lose your keys while they are in your hand. Timewreck is the latter.
Bred by the late, legendary Subcool of TGA Genetics, Timewreck lives up to its name with terrifying accuracy. It is a high-velocity Sativa hybrid designed to disrupt your internal clock. It hits hard, fast, and often leaves users wondering where the last three hours went.
This is not a "morning coffee" strain for getting work done; this is a "Saturday adventure" strain. It combines the raciness of the Trainwreck family with the psychedelic, sour-fruit funk of the Apollo line. It is widely considered one of the strongest strains TGA ever released.
History and Lineage: A Collision of Legends
Timewreck is the result of crossing two incredibly rare and potent cuts.
The Mother (Blood Wreck): A rare, clone-only variant of Trainwreck (crossed with Trinity). This mother plant was notorious in the Pacific Northwest for turning a rich maroon color and possessing a devastatingly heavy high that Trainwreck alone couldn't achieve.
The Father (Vortex): TGA’s flagship Sativa (Apollo 13 x Space Queen). Vortex is famous for its "sour baby poo" smell and its ability to induce a state of giggly confusion.
The Result: By crossing the heavy-hitting Blood Wreck with the speedy Vortex, Subcool created a hybrid that retains the pain-killing properties of the mother but accelerates the head-high to supersonic speeds.
Terpene Profile: Sour Fruit and Sandalwood
Timewreck has a "loud" profile that is difficult to mask. It doesn't smell like a bakery; it smells like a compost bin in a lemon orchard—in the best way possible.
Dominant Terpenes
Terpinolene: This is the primary driver. It gives the strain a complex, fresh aroma that hovers between citrus, floral, and herbal.
Myrcene: Adds a heavy, ripe fruit sweetness that grounds the sharp citrus.
Caryophyllene: Provides a spicy, woody undertone often described as sandalwood.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: A pungent mix of rotting lemons, kiwi, pear, and sour earth. It has a fermented quality that connoisseurs love.
The Smoke: Surprisingly smooth. The inhale is tart and fruity (green apple/lemon), while the exhale leaves a distinct taste of spicy wood and earthy haze.
Strain Effects: The Chronological Chaos
Timewreck is named for its defining effect: Time Distortion.
The Experience
The Impact: It hits almost immediately. You may feel a pressure behind the eyes and a sudden shift in perception.
The Confusion: This is the signature. Thoughts come fast, often too fast to track. You might start a sentence and forget the end of it. It induces a state of "stoned wonder."
The Euphoria: Despite the confusion, it is intensely happy. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when your brain is vibrating this hard.
The Crash: Because of the high THC and mental energy expenditure, the comedown can be heavy. After the 2–3 hour mark, you will likely need a nap.
Warning: This strain can induce anxiety in novice users. It is racy and disorienting. If you have a low tolerance for Sativas, approach with caution.
Medical Benefits of Timewreck
While recreational users chase the "trip," medical patients value Timewreck for its ability to shut down physical and mental distress.
Severe Depression: It is a heavy-duty mood lifter. It forces the brain out of stagnation.
Chronic Pain: Thanks to the Blood Wreck lineage, this is one of the few Sativas that offers significant pain relief. It distracts the mind from the body.
Fatigue: It provides a surge of energy, though it may not be "focused" energy.
Nausea/Appetite: The sour terpenes are excellent for settling the stomach and inducing hunger.
Growing Timewreck: The Sour Tower
Timewreck is a vigorous plant that rewards growers who know how to train Sativas.
Growth Structure
The Stretch: It stretches moderately in flower but is more manageable than a pure Haze.
Technique: It responds beautifully to Topping (cutting the main stem). This encourages it to bush out and produce multiple colas rather than one main spear.
Flowering Time: It is a relatively fast Sativa, finishing in 8 to 9 weeks.
The Look: The buds are spear-shaped and often exhibit light purple hues. They are coated in greasy resin that feels oily to the touch.
Phenotypes: Look for the phenotype that smells strongly of rotting pears. This is the "keeper" cut with the highest potency.
Grower’s Tip: The stems can be brittle. As the buds get heavy in weeks 7–8, use stakes or a trellis net to support them, or they may snap under their own weight.
Final Verdict: The Mind-Bender
Timewreck is a strain for the adventurous. It is not a strain for doing your taxes or having a serious conversation. It is a strain for music festivals, hiking, or sitting on the porch and watching the clouds turn into animals. It is a powerful, chaotic, and joyous example of TGA Genetics' legacy.
You should choose Timewreck if:
You are looking for a high-potency Sativa that feels slightly psychedelic.
You enjoy sour, funky, and fruity flavor profiles.
You need strong pain relief but don't want to be locked to the couch immediately.
You want to disconnect from reality for a few hours.
