Allen Wrench
Allen Wrench
Overview
Allen Wrench is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created from crossing the legendary Trainwreck and NYC Diesel strains. This dynamic combination produces a strain with approximately 80% sativa and 20% indica genetics. The strain emerged in the cannabis community as a beloved variety known for delivering quintessential sativa effects with a modern twist, though its original breeders remain unknown. Allen Wrench has gained recognition in cannabis competitions, winning awards in places like Nevada and the Pacific Northwest. The strain features visually impressive flowers with medium to large nugget-like blossoms that display the long, tapered appearance typical of sativa varieties. The buds exhibit a mossy green color threaded with vibrant orange pistils and are covered in an abundance of glassy white trichomes that give them a resinous texture. The strain is particularly hard to break apart without a grinder due to its dense bud structure. When properly cured, Allen Wrench gives off a complex aroma profile inherited from its parent strains, combining the gasoline-like scent of NYC Diesel with the spicy and sweet undertones of Trainwreck, creating a unique olfactory experience characterized by diesel, citrus, and earthy notes.

Growing Information
Allen Wrench is considered moderately challenging to grow and is best suited for intermediate to expert cultivators. The strain requires careful attention to detail and precision throughout the growth cycle. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor cultivation requiring semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climates. Indoor plants can stretch to impressive heights during flowering, requiring training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) to control vertical growth. The flowering period is lengthy at 10-11 weeks indoors, typical of sativa-dominant strains. Indoor yields range from 16-20 ounces per square meter (600 grams), while outdoor plants can produce 24 ounces (700-800 grams) per plant when harvested in late October. The strain requires nutrient-rich soil, temperatures between 68-82°F (22-28°C), and humidity levels of 40-60% during vegetation, dropping to 30-40% during flowering. Plants are susceptible to overfeeding and require careful nutrient management. The strain produces a very pungent aroma during cultivation, necessitating odor control measures. Original seeds are not commercially available, requiring growers to obtain clones from mature plants.
