Timewreck
Blood Wreck × Vortex
Timewreck is a sativa-dominant hybrid developed by TGA Subcool Seeds in the early 2010s, created by crossing Blood Wreck with Vortex. It is recognized for its potent, fast-acting effects and a distinctive aroma profile that combines citrus and pine notes. This cultivar gained popularity for its energizing and cerebral character, making it a favored choice for daytime use.
Appearance
Timewreck buds typically present as elongated, spear-like colas with a moderate to high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The dried flowers are often light to lime green, adorned with rusty-orange pistils and a dense coating of trichomes that can give them a lighter appearance. Some phenotypes may exhibit purple streaks under cooler temperatures. The buds possess a medium density, not overly compact but not airy, with a sticky texture that fractures cleanly.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Timewreck is characterized by a prominent lime zest note, complemented by hints of green apple, pine resin, and a subtle menthol or eucalyptus undertone. Upon breaking open the buds, a strong terpinolene-dominant scent emerges, followed by sweet and tart citrus reminiscent of lemon-lime soda. When combusted, flavors of pine and spice become more apparent, while underlying herbaceous notes from myrcene round out the profile.
Effects
Timewreck is known for delivering potent and fast-onset effects that are predominantly cerebral and energizing. Consumers often report a distinctive alteration in time perception, contributing to its name. The strain is favored for its ability to promote daytime creativity and a sense of functional euphoria, providing a bright, uplifting experience that is surprisingly long-lasting.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Timewreck typically contains THC levels ranging from the high teens to the mid-twenties. CBD content is generally found at trace levels, below 1%. The terpene profile is often dominated by terpinolene, with significant contributions from myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene, which contribute to its characteristic aroma and effects. Other terpenes like humulene and ocimene may also be present.
Growing
Timewreck is a sativa-leaning hybrid that typically finishes flowering in 8 to 10 weeks. It is known for its manageable growth habit, often finishing faster than traditional Trainwreck strains, making it suitable for shorter outdoor seasons or indoor cultivation. The plant generally exhibits a branchy, vertical structure, with medium internode spacing.
Origins & Lineage
Timewreck was developed by TGA Subcool Seeds and is widely reported to be a cross between Blood Wreck and Vortex. Blood Wreck is derived from the renowned Trainwreck lineage, while Vortex is a combination of Apollo 13 and Space Queen. This genetic pairing was intended to combine the potent, head-altering effects of Trainwreck with the clarity and citrus notes of Vortex.
