Platinum Wreck

Platinum Wreck: Sweetly Citrus

Platinum Wreck seeds grow into super-tall plants with heavy buds and short leaves. On some of these plants, the buds will grow far bigger than the leaves. The plants are almost entirely green with a flash of orange as the pistils grow out of the buds. Looking closely at the buds, you can see a thin layer of crystal resin trichomes, which gives the buds the appearance of being nearly purple. When harvested, the nuggets are leafy and still have some of those trichomes stuck to the exterior of the buds. Breaking these nuggets apart with your fingers is a sticky endeavor and will leave your hands smelling like weed for hours after. The bright orange pistils remain on the buds after they have been clipped and dried. While Platinum Wreck has yet to win any major awards, its cousin, Platinum Kush, has been heavily rewarded for its flavor and potency. The Platinum Wreck strain is going to win some awards in the future, as it is insanely popular in the cannabis community already. It has tons of good reviews online and boasts a pretty decent resume already in its relatively young life. 

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

It’s easy to grow Platinum Wreck cannabis seeds, whether you’re a novice grower or an expert cultivator. Platinum Wreck is a versatile grower that will thrive indoors and outside so long as its plants get plenty of access to sunshine or artificial indoor lighting and warmth. One thing you will want to keep in mind when deciding if you will grow your Platinum Wreck female plants indoors or out is that they grow quite tall. As such, you may have to grow them outside if you only have a small indoor grow space. One of the things that make this sativa-dominant hybrid a hassle-free cultivation experience is the fact that it is highly resistant to common molds and mildews.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Platinum Wreck marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to alter the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This will take you all the way to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40-50% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. 
• Training Techniques: Expert growers may want to employ low-stress training techniques, and topping may help to increase the number of bud sites on your plants. These methods will increase your yields by growing only the biggest and best buds. Because Platinum Wreck grows tall, it requires topping to control the plant height.

Dominant Terpenes in Platinum Wreck: Wreck Yourself

The Platinum Wreck terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is terpinolene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

• Terpinolene: Most Dominant – Known for its woody smell with floral notes when found in cannabis strains.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene can also be found in cannabis and adds to the flavor and aroma of most strains.
• Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Caryophyllene, known for being spicy and peppery, can be found in cloves and cinnamon.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Platinum Wreck: 

Cannabinoids play an important role in Platinum Wreck seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That uplifted, happy, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Platinum Wreck strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user. 

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 25%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying Platinum Wreck cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Platinum Wreck are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Platinum Wreck strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
