Casey Jones

General info

Casey Jones is fast becoming a popular strain within the range of ‘new generation’ sativas. Mainly because it is a perfect strain to start off your workday with a smile on your face, a creative flow and a health dose of “Go-go juice”! Whereas most other sativa’s might give you the same boost in energy, Casey Jones doesn’t make your head spin, but leaves the mind clear for you to focus on the stuff you need to get done!

Named after an American folk hero and train engineer for the 1900’s, who was famous for pushing the speed limit of his steam-driven locomotive train to the max. The fact that the Casey Jones strain is a mix of the sativa “Trainwreck”, together with the landrace Thai Sativa and East Coast Sour Diesel, might have something to do with its naming.

Grow info

Cultivating Casey Jones outdoors is best done in a warm, Mediterranean climate. Luckily it also lends itself well for growing in indoor environments, either using soil or hydroponics. With its medium height of 80 cm to a maximum of two meters, it’s well suited for the SCROG technique. This easy-to-grow plant can produces an average yield of around 14 ounces per square meter and takes about 9 to 10 weeks to fully mature.

FLAVORS

The buds Casey Jones produces look, for all intents and purposes, like a light version of Haze, with a slightly lighter coating of trichomes. Its flowers usually have a pyramid-like structure with light green sugar leaves and dark brown pistils that give off a wonderfully sweet scent of citrus fruit and bubblegum, coupled with a pungent diesel aroma and a floral undertone.
